Rumour Brandon smith done deal

[Philmus]

There’s couple player swaps on the cards Melbourne have identified 3 players they’ll be interested in taking everyone is on the market. Barrett is pissed off at the lack of effort and courage shown by certain players no one is safe anymore

Judging by whos on contract next year (who we havent just re signed) theres only really Cotric, Allen, Elliot, Waddell, RFM, Avo it could be - on the proviso that we wouldnt get rid of Thompson, BBO and anyone whos been signed to start next year. Fuck, take them all realistically

Only way he would stay at the Storm is if he plays 9 exclusively, we all know that won't be happening long term while Grant is there in front of him.

Or he’ll stay there if he wants to keep winning games.

If Melbourne take Elliot as a player swap it’ll legitimately feel like a grand final win

I know there are some in here that don't think much of Hetherington but the bloke plays with passion and heart. Next year with a better pack around him he will not be so fatigued that he has those brainsnaps with lazy efforts earning the wraith of the pea schrillers. I reckon he will become one of most feared forwards in the game.

No one is scared of him lol. He's a very good athlete but overall an average squad player. Hopefully he is pushed to the bench and his minutes are slashed in half next season.

Will have won two comps in a row with this year's premiership ring, leaves and earns 200/300k a year more for multiple years with a team who also could be in the mix in 2 years time.Won't stay there as a lock at all imo.

There's more underneath what you posted and I actually got the complete opposite impression to "not looking good for us".

Don’t worry the fear is already there. The fear of gettin their head taken off hahaha

Give them Flanagan for free

 

[surfdog]

RFM would be the sort of player the Storm would look at for a trade, like to keep him but if that's what it takes so be it

 

[Philmus]

You’re onto something there [emoji6] great analysis

Can you give us a hint sleepy?

They're losing Finucane and most likely Brandon Smith so without knowing what they have underneath they'll probably need a prop/second rower that can play lock. A player like RFM or Doorey maybe (we also have too many second rowers, they also aren't going to accept a Stimson or Waddell). They still have some pretty OP forwards (NAS, Kamikamica) on the bench as is tho.

RFM if he can stay fit is the type of player that would kill it in the Storm system. Strong player with plenty of natural talent, just needs a guiding hand to help polish and discipline his game. Topine could maybe be another but Bellamy seems to favour giants in the forward pack.

 

[Bulldog1966]

Bit of a theory that it could be RFM hmmm?.I'm more than Ok with this it's not like he even played this year anyway or maybe 2 fn games.

 

[Gene Krupa]

Bruh wtf. Is that the guy from myth busters?

Yep. Or it could be Peter Russell Clarke, Where's the Cheese.

RFM and Atoni were mentioned as targets about 4/5 months ago.
