Madge in the press conference today was just asked if a Nofo swap would be on, he shut it down very quickly with "not a chance in the world"
It's media beat up, Nof isn't going anywhere. Bring on a back line of JAC and Nofo !!
One of the most ridiculous rumours I have ever heard - swap Nofo for JAC - never in a million years!!!
We want to add players to build the team not swap out - anyone who believed that..... fffftttpppp
it would undermine bringing JAC here if he did that.....
This isn't our situation to finesse...it's the Storm's to sort out
Its actually not. JAC is under contract for next year and they have told him he can go to Sydney **IF** they get a suitable replacement.
If they dont, JAC plays for the Storms next year. Nothing to sort out for Storms.
and if he signs for us for the year after we lose nothing....storm won't want some fringe first grader....they'll want keys to the castle
Well we do lose the use of JAC and opportunity to have a stronger playing roster for next year. Storms lose nothing, they have JAC next year and another year to purchase whoever they want to replace him.
question would be what would be worth giving up for him next year? They asked for talau and we said no....whispers of nofa and we said no.....For one year earlier what would the price that we would be willing to pay? And I know people are going to say reynolds/packer etc but let's be realistic.....
I agree with you, Tigers are the only ones here that may potentially lose anything even if it is only opportunity cost.
Ideally someone else gives someone up for him but that is unlikely, as is Storm taking Jennings off our hands. IMO a Hoffman/Cini would be worth it, Im personally not convinced Talau is everything that he is sold as but he may kill it at Storm.
Difficult decision for someone. IMO Storm arent bluffing.
