Even though he is contracted til the Storm until the end of 2023? Wait another 3 full seasons?

23 is a mutual option.

We’ve basically had one major recruitment plan for the last decade and that is to recruit Bellamy / Smith...
I think the lack of success of such a plan, shows that perhaps we should have some alternate plans in place? Walsh is a prospect. He may be the one we need, or maybe he is signing with the Warriors come November, 1...

I doubt either want him to go anywhere. He already could have but didn’t...

Only if Smith played on but he didn't.

Personally I think chasing him will be as successful as us chasing Cameron Smith, when we had two cracks at signing him when he was without a contract and he didn’t want to sign either time...

Doesn't mean you don't try and at least you can push Melbourne's price up.

Brandon Smith should be the number 1 target at the moment. Turpin is good but I think Smith is on another level. I just have a feeling he will end up at the roosters.
On another note, how old is Cobbo? I’d love to see him on the wing next to Herbie!

I'm not sure either Turps or Smith are anywhere near as effective playing 80 mins anyway, they're just not those type of players ... but how good would it be for them to work in tandem ... we would have a pretty handy 1-2 punch right there.

19 this year. Colts don’t start until after Easter so he’s still a few weeks off playing. He is only in the Broncos development training squad.

Karl Lawton has just been granted a release to join another club. No mention of who it is. He is out with an achilles injury until mid-late season though. Anyone heard who the club might be? We have atleast 1 roster spot available and need a hooker/utility which is why this has made me curious.

Lol because an injured hooker not due to return till August will help flip a 46-4 scoreline.
Maybe they want someone to keep Turbo company in the rehab group

Ah ok thanks. Asside from his injury he would be a good utility for us. Hes quick out of dummy half and has spent plenty of time at centre and back row. I think hes played a bit of 6 and 1 in his early days if i remember correctly but he has bulked up a bit since.

Grant renewed his deal at the end of 2019- that was our/anyone’s chance. At the end of two great ISC years you could have got him cheaper and sold the opportunity to get away from Smith. If you didn’t take that I think you’ll never get him now.
