Tigers and Storm Player Loan Swap

[Jedi_Tiger]

Harry Grant or Brandon smith would be great Melbourne probably cant have both as smith likely will not want to play lock
But dont worry guys we have Nofo he is the greatest

The crazineess is well and truly back. Meltdowns over Nines and trial losses, now we need to throw the kitchen sink, including the captaincy to a player whose played less than 50 games because he scored two tries in a Mickey Mouse game. I’m not above making stupid comments, but I feel like Frank Grimes, reading this tripe the last week.

If you can't see that Brandon Smith is already a superstar, then I don't know what to say to you mate...

Captaincy? Yes, and I said that as he has mongrel and leadership skills.

Because of two tries in a 'mickey mouse game'? No...because of two seasons now of elite level footy when on the field.

Where have you been the last two season’s then. Why wait till he scores 2 try’s in yes, a Mickey Mouse game.

And I never said I didn’t rate him. I just don’t pump up the tyres of players after trials and want to offer them captaincy. If you can’t see how hyperbolic that suggestion was, then it’s me who doesn’t know what to tell you.

You have to admit there was a fair streak of positive posts after Doueihi signed. Went way longer than I thought it would

Where have I been? I did not realise that I was compelled to post positives on storm players non stop to justify an opinion. I think anyone who has watched him knows how good he is.

You may want to go back and read the context also....I said if they had to release one of their 9s completely (won't happen) then Smith would be the bloke to throw everything at. I am not hyping him after a trial, he is elite. As in best 9 in the game after Cameron Smith. Probably better than Cam now actually, given their ages.

Harry was impressive but so too was Brandon Smith. If Cam Smith retires Then Harry still has Brandon in front of him.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Yes Let’s do it!

Brandon Smith has a facial fracture, out 4 to 6 weeks, not good for us

Yep, we can forget about Grant now.

 

[Toowoomba_Tiger]

Damn, thought there might have a been a slight chance the Storm would release him and we'd snatch him up, highly unlikely he'll be released now.

Only for the short term imo. Things may be back to normal when Smith returns from injury? We still have a spot open until 30th June.

 

[Hangonaminute]

Oh well, Jrey it is. 😳

 

[Snake]

Never had him this has been Dreamtime for many ..

Good point! I suppose we can still hope then

Answering your own questions now
I have heard of people talking to themselves before, but you have taken it to the next level
????

And I know what your thinking
"It was a joke"
I'll post a joke just for you in dad's jokes

Grant talks about wanting the bench spot for Melbourne seeing as B Smith is out, but also says negotiations with tigers over a loan deal are ‘ongoing’.

 

[hammertime]

Very interesting. Good news that it's still a chance.

 

[hammertime]

Give it a few rounds and there might be enough of a pay difference to do the swap.

"I have got to look after the Storm," Grant said.

"I don’t want to be selfish and leave when they are looking for a back-up hooker with Brandon out."

That is the end of that IMO.

For those of you saying he might still come after week 4-6....that would be pointless for a one season rental. It would take a hooker a month to even learn the sets and calls.

Looks like Mbye to 9 then.

At least Moses is going to earn those big $$$ playing in the middle every week.

Why not Walters? I'd lean more toward it being him if Benji stays fit.

Walters is probably a better choice, but Moses is captain and I doubt Madge will leave out one of his leaders.

With Momo staying, center looks well covered now
Momo / Talau
BJ / Johns

Seems no need for Mbye at center.

Thus presuming he will play 9 (Madge said he has trained there all off season)
