Interesting that Hoeter, Fletcher Baker and Jack Gos aren't in the list.

Has Gos confirmed he's signed a 1yr extension... I think it was floated around a little while back, but not in the NRL.com list as yet.

Thought Baker was confirmed as being out the door... he's off contract so not like they need to work out a release.

Hoeter I don't recall seeing anything, but maybe they're working on a 1yr extension? (not sure I'm keen on that)... let him sign with Wynnum and we can bring him up for a train and trial if needed.

I'm not hitting the panic button over R360 because rugby farkin sucks, if some blokes are happy to sell out and jump ship to collect a bit of coin playing a shit game then they can fark off and not come back IMO.

Looks like a money pit to me. They will need big crowds and a huge TV deal on top of that their costs for travel etc will be through the roof

They could stick him on a development deal if he wants to stay in Brisbane and do his business stuff.

 

[Dexter]

Goz has secured a 1 year extension.

 

[theshed]

Goz has secured a 1 year extension.

Gos has been a pretty good gap filler ok no money. Happy to keep him on, he’ll be better for the additional preseason too.

Madge has already picked him over Piakura once, so the pressure will be on

 

[Foordy]

Grant Anderson won the Storm's most improved player award this year.

 

[Galah]

Grant Anderson won the Storm's most improved player award this year.

He’s not cracking this team

 

[Foordy]

He’s not cracking this team

I don't think so either ... but along with Arthars we've got some quality outside back depth

 

[mrslong]

Grant Anderson won the Storm's most improved player award this year.

He would have played better than warbrick in the gf

 

[The Muffin Man]

Also if Walsh and Haas sign for R360 the wallabies be stupid not to pick em .

Walsh and Haas aren't going anywhere.

Walsh aint leaving his daughter behind and the mother wouldnt let him take the kid

Haas aint moving his entire family to the other side of the world and he isnt going without them.

 

[Jedhead]

Grant Anderson won the Storm's most improved player award this year.

Bet that was because he knew he was heading to Brisbane and had to get his shit together.

 

[The Boss]

Walsh and Haas aren't going anywhere.

Walsh aint leaving his daughter behind and the mother wouldnt let him take the kid

Haas aint moving his entire family to the other side of the world and he isnt going without them.

10M over 2 years you can make compromises.

 

[Foordy]

10M over 2 years you can make compromises.

I really don't know where that figure has come from.

All reports I've seen say the offer will be 3 million a year. To get the suggested tax breaks he would need to live outside this country from the majority of the year. I can't seem him dragging his school aged brothers away from this country, so it would likely mean his wife and baby couldn't follow him either.

It would be very difficult for him to be away from his family and leave all his caring responsibilities to his wife for more than half the year. Especially when he can still earn very good money in Australia and be with his family

(Haas manager didn't even speak to them earlier this week us planned until he gets more info from the NRL)

 

[turkeysnow]

The way Walsh is tracking no way Valandy's allows him to leave NRL. He is the current face of Rugby League.

I honestly hope Haas doesn't leave as well. We could well push for another GF in the next few years.

Mam in most the season, Hunt at 9 with Paix or coming off bench. Arey is solid if healthy. At least anther year on his contract.

Anderson add's decent depth/competition for Mariner/Karopani to not rest on there lorals.

We need someone with leg speed off the bench to replace Hethero. Willison was huge before injury as well.

The dolphins guy if we land him and the storm guy who played a few games will be solid.

Mozer pushing for a start, Black and Duffy competing is good competition for spots.

So we are keeping Baker now? That seems surprising unless he is just signed to an affiliate club and not in the top 30?

 

[Loch Ness Monster]

Anyone keen on NAS on a reduced salary?
I do like the rich getting richer when it’s my club.

Hoeter even if he's finishing up the footy side he'd be still at the club working in a role so maybe that's why he's not in the departing.
