Melbourne lets Feeney go

MELBOURNE Storm lock Jamie Feeney could be forced out of the NRL next season.

The club has told Feeney it will not exercise an option on his contract for next season.

Trapped behind Queensland lock Dallas Johnson, Feeney, 28, has managed just seven first-grade games this season.

The former Bulldogs star said a lack of first-grade exposure was killing his chances of a new deal.

"My manager is looking around, but I'm not sure what the future holds," Feeney said last night.

come here! let those youngins lookin for big chances go.. feeny will be around for another 5 yrs at least

 

[Premiers04]

I would love for Feeney to come back home, but I don't know where he would fit into our top 17 each week. He is a strong versatile player with over 100 games of first grade experience and his football career has suffered in Melbourne.

I don't know where he would fit in our backrow ahead of Ryan, Williams, Maitua, Grimaldi, Mason & our promising youngsters with N. Armit, Conn & Kouparitsas

 

[Haztrick]

Yes!! Hopefully Feeney comes back to us.. Man, I hope so..

 

[Aaron]

There is no place in first grade, but maybe a good option for our Premier League side to nurture all the youngens.

 

[Ben Godberts]

agree with utai as always

 

[Bulldogs50]

hehe is that a hint US??

 

[Mitch Connor]

nooooo stay away!

 

[BaYry Ward]

Awesome!! We need more forwards......

 

[D0ggyStylz]

I don't want Feeney back. Watch the 2004 GF and you'll see that Feeney is the only player that doesn't want to be there and is not happy about the win.

 

[Ben Godberts]

disagree hutch looked like he was on another planet that night

 

[D0ggyStylz]

Yeah but Feeney more so. He looked so dirty that he wasn't in the team.

Dennis Scott on the other hand was over the moon!

 

[Bellz]

Yeah I have to say I don't want Feeney back. We have plenty of forwards atm and plenty juniors who have promising futures as well.

 

[Bry]

Id love to have him back , but I dont think we need him for the money he'd want. He'd be a good pick up for Souths though. He's a good player that served us well.

 

[wyongguy]

he would be a fringe first grader at best, i think he will go to souths to be honest,

 

[Bulldogs50]

he'd be a good player for the titans actually.. i want feeney and nate to go there (of course i want nate to stay but chances are pretty low)

 

[JayBee]

Would be on the bench at the most imo. Good for depth if we lose Myles..

 

[Christabella]

The best thing for Feeney would actually be a stint in England. He has shown on the occassions he has cracked first gade that the still has plenty to offer and with a young family the Super League could provide the most in terms of finances.

 

[RMGs]

there wouldnt be a place for him in the squad as US mentioned...
im sure roosters would want him though..they will sign anyone!

 

[CMP]

Good PL player!

Average First Grade player!

If he comes cheap I would take him back for depth incase of injury - But very Cheap!
