[Official] Smith re-signs with the Storm

Alec said:
DCE is pretty much the only player I'd take over Smith, purely because of his age...I don't think he'll ever be as good though.
The chances of actually getting DCE are likely the same as Parramatta winning the premiership next year though.

Ain't that the truth. We're not getting DCE, it's just never going to happen! We need to start looking elsewhere cause DCE won't ever be a Bronco!
 
Didn't Broncos turn down Smith a few years ago? I think it was 2009. I've heard he approached them looking to leave Storm, before the salary cap scandal, and Broncos turned him down.

Wasn't that due to the money committed to Folau?
 
The year we needed a hooker, and we got marsh gorrell and macca...great

The "quality players" we could lose, or the quality players we could gain instead of Smith? I feel Granville will be lost and we don't want him playing for another club. He will end up being like Isaac Luke. Ridiculously fast and evasive out of dummy half. It could work if Hodges decides to retire after this year. I imagine we will have to go of some players who are still under contract for next year. As for the "quality players" we could sign, there are plenty of good players off contract next year that we could aim to sign. I think we should try get Fifita if we were to lose Hannant (People have been saying he could be going to the Titans or something). He doesn't seem like he wants to be at the Sharks forever. Obviously DCE is on top of everybody's list. And Tautau Moga as well.

Granville is already 25 and been ignored by every other club I'm sure he's not going anywhere. Cowboys will be a threat as long as Green is there though.

No, that's not right.
 
@RLW_Mole: BREAKING: Moley hearing Cam Smith is VERY close to rejecting HUGE offer from @brisbanebroncos to sign life contract with @MelbourneStorm_

Exactly, who else have we got in the pipeline? Nobody close to smith's calibre , people like milford and barba would have benefited immensely from smith. Looks like the broncos mediocrity will continue.

Spwn loses common sense when it comes to the Storm or a Storm player... :rolleyes:

No one can blame management if the part about HUGE offer is true.

Unfortunately, that's what often happens with this type of players, which is why I always have to laugh at those who bag the club for not getting Thurston or Cronk, etc...

I think they'll so better with those players but I agree those players would go even better with Smith.

So now we're not getting Smith, reckon we still should sack macca and we should promote Granville. Macca has had sufficient time to prove himself alread.

For sure, not saying management should be blamed, it is just ridiculous this sort of shit is dragged out, i mean like many have said it was just leverage to get more coin from the storm.
 
Yeah nobody should be happy with Smith not joining the Broncos, despite his age, he would've delivered us a couple of premierships with our current squad, in my opinion.
