Munster re-signing is imo a reflection of the high regard in which players hold Bellamy, possibly also the $. To lose Munster would have been a disaster for the Storm.

Has Wests Tigers made an official statement?

About what?

Oh was that the quote unquote going something like the following ?
“We’ve let him know we are interested, we haven’t talked money and we don’t know if he is interested but we advised him that if he wants to talk we will ensure we match his best offer”.
Sounds like a strong pitch to me.

Problem is that we would need to do a lot better than matching his best offer.

Im so glad that Melb miraculously just happened to find a spare $4 Mil that they didnt realise they had .. Im sure Melb will make a statement today saying that the rest of the players are taking a pay cut to allow Munster stay at the Storm .. !!

Maybe the NRL auditors need to find that second set of books at Storm HQ again .. !! ;-)

Munster hates losing - pretty much says it all.

Was his best offer also the lowest?

Maybe they should check his garage to see if there’s a new Jayco caravan in it.

Incredibly boring decision.

About what?

About Munster not coming.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

About Munster not coming.

Why would the club make any statement?

About Munster not coming.

LOL Why would they?

Would be good to nab Sloan if he ever gets a release from the Dragons - seems like they have a lot of unhappy players there

The no-show from 27 of the top 30 NRL players at Tuesday night’s end-of-season club presentation at Pyrmont’s Doltone House speaks volumes to the narrative that St George Illawarra is an unhappy camp.

The 27 no-shows at Dragons presentation night raise more concerns over Griffin’s reign

Only three of the top 30 NRL players turning up to Tuesday night’s club presentation will do nothing to tone down the narrative that St George Illawarra is an unhappy camp.

I think formally lee pagalatelli should come out this morning and say our offer has been withdrawn....😂😂😂

Why would Munster or any other top elite players sign with the Tigers or any other perennial bottom team . Don’t take it personally , it’s more about choice. Great players can get good money playing for good sides, so why play for a crap side.

In saying the above, I think the Storm will slide a tad over the next few years till they rebuild their pack.

Also I am not convinced Munster is the guy you break the bank for. Great player, but not sure he would drive culture and change. Anyway back to the bargain bin and the pathways road, don’t know why we even bother fishing for big fish

No guts no glory. How do I change my name to teddytigers

There is a common dominator here .. where ever Hook goes .. unhappiness follows .. Broncos, Penrith and now the Dragons. Its either he's a nose coach that demands a lot from his players .. or he's just a grumpy A-hole bastard coach that players hate .. !!

Dragons fans seem to have inside mail seem "that Spencer has signed with them".

 

[jadtiger]

Ive been told Sheens is in England negotiating for Bateman.
Weren’t we told on here that horse has bolted?

I hope your source is wrong as Bateman would be a terrible purchase imo,overpaid(650k + 350k transfer) and over the hill.

Dave Piepers from Zero Tackle reported on twitter yesterday that Spencer was with Penrith officials at lunch, He thinks it's extension - so shall see how it plays out
