I’d just about go after the hectic cheese after that interview with Freddy. Dude can play as well.

I liked how he said Cammy does all the coaching and Bellamy does nothing lol

So we need some speed for 21, if we miss out on Jac who will we target?? I'm going to guess DWZ

just upgrade some other contracts and make a big play for 2022.

Lets be honest at very best we'll be scraping 8th
 
So we have signed Tamou for the next 2 years....as much as I try to get excited about this signing I simply can’t....the reality is he is coming here to retire...his NRL heart is with Penrith and will never be with the WT... watch, he will be another ineffective plodder taking up a roster spot....

don't know where the dogs think they are getting JAC, i can see uncle Wayne maybe pinching him but not the dogs.
Dogs will need to be happy with Flannagan and maybe Burton
Surely he is coming home to us for 2021

Apparently they believe they are swapping Remis

Remis hhhmmm not a bad swap for JAC if true. We should have given Talau when we had the chance


this isn't the NBA u can't just trade players, you have no idea whether we offered it to Talau and he said no

Storm wanted Talau and we said no a few weeks back. All we need to say is move or we dont play you.in first grade most would go especially to storm

and talau says i have a contract

absolutely talau has a contract doesn't mean we have to play him in first grade look at Reynolds he has a contract too. I reckon talau may well have gone but we came out and said no

I would have said no too.

if it meant we could have got JAC I would have let him go if storm had asked

As I said I would have said no too, I'd prefer both if JAC wanted to be here.

oh well storm dont have to release JAC all they were after was Nofo which was a flat out resounding no and Talau which they should have moved on in my opinion to get JAC

He has been released, has been talking about his last game for the Storm all week

After the Redfern comment just then by JAC he is not coming to Wests Tigers
Again we didn't release to Storm an acceptable player...
JAC will be at Souths unfortunately

Lol, so because he has family there he wouldn't be talking to them but rather another club? Ok...
 
I dont think Cam Smith will retire he will go around 1 more year therefore Harry Grant will be fair game we need to lock him in for a big contract

kyle flanahgan can kick goals and got blamed for roosters loss. we need someone like him. someone who can kick

Someone who can kick, or someone we can blame ? Getting Flanagan would tick both boxes.

I noticed Harry Grant in the broader Storm outfit that came on after the game to join in the celebrations. I think he will stay at Storm even if C.S decides to stay on another year. Grant looked really happy- imagine the thinking do I stay with the premiers Storm and ride out another year waiting with a club that knows themself, or go to the grind of the Wests Tigers still trying to sort themselves out? Money aside I know what I'd do, yes he enjoyed his time at WT but I think the premiership has just changed the feel for him.
 
So it begins...
Grand Final over check
*Paranoia ramping up check
*Hysteria in overdrive check
*Blood pressure tablets check

Strap in boys., the next few months its gunna be a bumpy ride!!

Yes, to play with his friends there, that is what he wanted.


Thank God that the salary cap is working.
 
i think you all are worrying way too much- he referred to Redfern due to his Aboriginal heritage and he most likely has family there. I'm at a surety that we'll hear the good news very soon

only think Cochise we have the cash for 2021 if we dont sign JAC and take Grant. Thankfully 2022 a different story if maybe we make a play for Grant for 2022

"Lock" is the key word. That would be his position.
 
Might be a rubbish take, but anyone else agree that Tommy Talau could be used as a lock for us? We’ve been crying out for a ball playing lock for a while now, Talau solves that. Not the smallest of blokes as well, just needs to work on his defence and he’d be the perfect lock imo

Doesnt hurt to try it out in the preseason.
 
If Harry wanted to be here ,now is his opportunity presuming CS plays on.
Storm are set to decline significantly without Bellamy and Smith over next 12 mths(who are irreplacable),plus their two gamebreaking wingers,and an aging forward pack.Theyve peaked
But my guess Harry,who will probably stay loyal, can do better than WTS ..we underperformed this season,really havent addressed the lack of quality cattle to fix that,and just as importantly we were a divided club with Benjis eggshells garbage splitting the team into two camps ..something he wld never have seen at Storm
Benji..the gift that keeps giving
 
So accordingly to the DT Suaalii has rejected us (Doubt we even offered him a contract but won't let that get in the way of a story) and Roosters are asking South to release him early..
He is not allowed to play next year anyway but NRL will allow it for big clubs so where does that leave Teddy ??? Back to us ???
Looks like South or Dogs will get JAC so not to sure who our next target is.
It's going to be a depressing few months ahead i think but will have my fingers crossed.

Our season was over before Benji made those comments if indeed it was him. You need to look at the coach for the side going backwards with a stronger squad that he added 6 players players to. But that’s ok let’s just keep blaming Benji for this season’s failure
and while where at it let’s blame him for 17 years of failure
