dont think Brandon smith will stay at storm to play lock, think if grant goes back we have to be abig chance of getting him given kiwi national coach too

B Smith would be silly to leave Storm. Not many ex Storm players do well at other clubs.

 

[Geo]

remember Geo you were highly doubtful Brooks woukd ever be named at 6
you never know

Lol yes named at 6 all problems solved

 

[hank37w]

The number on his back fixes everything.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Yes that's right - Kimmorley, Lazarus, Geyer, Kearney, Crocker, Whatuira, Tolman, Maloney, Cronk, Inglis, Widdop, Harris, McLean, Mann and Grant to name a few.

None of those guys have done well at all.

Exactly! It's funny to read that Brooks can focus on running now that he has no 6 on his back.😁

He’s last games was running at wrong times needs to pick and choose better when to run, pass or nail it in corners hate to say it but needs to watch Nathan Cleary tapes he is in fire this year.

I agree with your sentiment but your list needs some edits. Lazarus and Geyer never left Melbourne, they retired there, unless you mean success for Lazo entering the Senate. Stephen Kearney also finished his NRL career at Melbourne with a 1-year stint in UK.

Bow to your knowledge and research - just pulling a few names out of a hat - there were others.

Widdop is good and all

But geez I would love it if we dug our fingers into the SL market a bit more

A lot of good talent there

Widdop has been a fine player but shouldn't we trust in our own young players? Madden, Camroux and Field all look good prospects.

Will Madden be ready for 2021 season? I haven’t seen enough of him to know.

This lack of lower grades is killing us.

Camroux resembles a young Moses without as much attitude. At present he'd only be eligible to play after July next year though. Madden should replace Benji once we can no longer make the finals. Absolutely no point playing Benji after that point.

I believe Camroux is taller than Moses and should fill out to be a good sized 6.

Wearing the number 7 can weigh heavily on a player's shoulders. Just like being the capt can effect your personal performance.

It is a bit of a laugh. It will appease those who believe wearing a specific number matters.

Yeah he's definitely got a bigger frame, which should help his chances of playing up a grade at a young age. Still only young, but hopefully he's adding muscle to his frame right now. Similar game style though.

Lol yes named at 6 all problems solved

Been busy this week tracking down all those No 6s

Be easier just tearing the No 1 off his benchy jersey's

Maybe just get some Velcro ...like the netball jersey's just switch numbers

Watched a few Sydney Shield & Presidents Cup games over the weekend. Decent standard without being spectacular but plenty of youngsters having a run. Even Gagai's younger bro was playing in the centres for Syd Uni and bagged a few meat pies.

Given the unusual nature of the season our club should be striking deals to loan our fringe/younger players to these clubs. I'm unsure as to our professional relationship with those teams but surely some arrangement could be made so that the players don't miss out on a whole year of development

He played well in the trial against the Panthers. You never know until you use him. We've purchased experienced halves in Mbye and Reynolds. Has it been a success? Time to trust in our scouting and development

Youth will only take you so far.You have to have that blend of experience and juniors,look at the roosters it hasn’t been successful for us because we keep recruiting the wrong experienced players
