Ok, so idiots like 'The Lurker' and 'The Mole' are pretty full of shit, but this takes the cake.
NRL Premiership | The Lurker - NRL Rumour File - Wednesday
Storm have front
The Melbourne Storm have attempted to poach classy Canberra youngster Sam Williams in a bid to solve their halfback problems for 2014. With Gareth Widdop off to the Dragons and Brett Finch retiring, the Storm have realised they are short of an experienced player to partner Dally M winner Cooper Cronk in the halves. The 2012 premiers made an approach to Williams, who is under contract to the Raiders for next season, hoping for a release. But the Raiders, despite having a glut of halves in Terry Campese, Josh McCrone, boom youngster Mitch Cornish and Williams, rejected the approach. The Storm were also keen on former Bulldog Daniel Holdsworth, but he is off to the Sharks. At this stage, that leaves Craig Bellamy to go with talented rookie Ben Hampton in the number six jersey. Hampton played a handful of NRL games last season and looks a player of promise - but could struggle being thrust into the hot seat for a full season.
Hmmm... Great story Adam, except for the fact that pretty much everyone with more thana passing interest in the NRL knows that Sam Williams in fact has 0 years to run on his raiders contract and has signed with the dragons for next year... but hey, keep making up shit its all good.
In all seriousness though, how can anyone that writes on league be this fucking dumb?!?
