Has anyone see the boys play . With the amount of young talented forwards we have I'm guessing we can't keep them all and i'm guessing they are not at a level of BMM , Woods etc or we would of kept them

Never seen Sironen but Freeman is pretty good. Gary Freeman is hardly an exclusive Tiger though. Dude played for 25 clubs.

Would it be a story if they didn't have famous fathers? I'm pretty happy with the clubs record on retaining junior talent. It's hard to think of too many juniors we've let go in recent years who have become stars.

I haven't seen this Sironen play, but I've watched enough of Curtis to think we've got the right Sironen at our club.

But yeah, as was mentioned about Freeman, the tigers were one of his many clubs.

They both look promising more disappointed not to have the other sirro Damian though, however Curtis looks a fantastic prospect coming through our grades ,just looking at there profiles on the storm website Melbourne seem to really attract some fine young stock for there nusery all massive in size .

One thing we are not short of is talented youngsters and cannot fit them all in unfortunately. What this does highlight is what are clubs like Melbourne doing to breed their own talent from their local areas and shows that NSW and QLD are propping up Melbourne.

To be fair, I think the Storm are doing the best they can under the circumstances to develop their own juniors. Their SG Ball team is pretty competitive. It's not unusual for clubs to sign outside players to their NYC cup teams. Nobody complained too much about Miller…

 

[sunshine_coast_tiger]

As others have said you cant fit everyone in. I am very happy we have Curtis Sironen at our club.

 

[Snodgrass]

Neither of these guys were at the Tigers anyway.
Kris Freeman played Matt's and Sg Ball at Parramatta,
and I could be wrong but I think the young Sironen hails from the north coast.

A total non story
