I feel for whoever manages the contracts at the Storm, poor bastard has twice the workload of other clubs.

Great move by the club, just brilliant. Reward the loyal members who've stayed on despite White and Morris piledriving us into the laughingstock of the league by cutting back what we get. At this point White may as well just hire a skywriter to put up the message "**** you just give us money."

Part of good management is not forcing the "right" move when it's not the right time. If he left it too late to move players on before the season started he could always have waited until it was finished. After all, in a fit of brilliance White gave him a super long contract. And in any case we...

Disagree. Sure the "it's a business" thing didn't start in 2018 but there is an ocean of difference between not re-signing a player on what they feel they deserve to be paid and moving players on mid-contract where they're here one day and gone the next, or publicly stating the coach will be...

Absolutely, especially after the way the club treated Bennett, why would any player put their trust in management? That's exactly why I think Kevvie is the right choice for now. Whether he's a technically excellent coach I have no idea, but over the last few years White and Morris and their boy...

We knew Siebold was a great coach, we knew Fifita was staying, we knew our new CEO was coming in February. I'd prefer to see it actually come about rather than be content "knowing" it'll happen eventually.

It'll be interesting to see how this actually goes. If the staff aren't under contract you can't dictate where their next job can be if it's not already written into the terms, and if they are I don't understand how you can enforce the idea that they might be allowed to leave to 14 competitors...

I'd be thinking Newcastle, they've got Barry Toohey down there who covers up pretty much everything for them.

That's not a particularly good metric, we've only lost one player we wanted to keep but that player was also the only one who could leave for 2021. I'm not saying there's going to be a mass exodus but there are a fair few challenges between here and there with a lot of guys able to sign with a...

Possibly, the problem with this is pretty much everyone regressed under Siebold. Unless we ship him off in the next month or so we'll all get a better bead on where he sits long term.

I've been to a beach near Melbourne before. It was garbage, shit surf, shit sand and it was fucking freezing. Had to wear long trousers and a hoody in November!

Aa far as I know testimonials were meant for blokes like Glenn. Cam Smith has made well into 8 figures plus whatever shady crap the Storm gave bim, he didn't need the extra money but grabbed it with both hands anyway. Lexy has been a good clubman, kept his nose clean on and off the field, always...

I'm not sure I can agree with you here. Payne can be ashamed of the way he acted, e.g. telling a cop to **** off, while refuting the charges laid or seeking clarity with regards to whether his actions amounted to the crimes alleged. At this stage we don't know what his actions were or what...

I'm not 100% sure about that. Curtis Scott got done and through to the stage of pleading guilty to at least some of the charges laid before the police body camera footage showed he was basically assaulted by the cops. If Payne was in the same boat and not have his lawyer or anyone sticking up...

They might be trying to get on top of it before the rumours get too over the top and the European cybercrime experts need to get involved. The first Courier Mail headline insinuated he was in a brawl, and I've seen posts on reddit where people claim without any evidence that he was belting his...

Isn't the crime rate already a per capita metric?

Nah **** him. That fat **** absolutely torched my club, I don't care if he takes a team to triple premierships he'll always be a garbage coach in my view.

Yeah the Curtis Scott debacle was the first thing I thought of when I saw this. I wouldn't be surprised if Payne was being a bellend but the cops aren't always on the side of the angels themselves.

Yeah I'm not so sure about that bit.
