Na, I think he will prefer Coates ahead of Meaney lol.
If it was me I'd have Remis and Coates as wingers, but could see Bellamy just wanting a similar player in regards to speed to replace Addo-Carr.

Shame if we let him go. Can hold his own which you can’t say for many off contract at this club.

Meaney would be a decent player in a strong squad. He’s a typical Melbourne style signing to fill the gaps, not a superstar but will do ok. In our case we seem to field too many decent or average players with no top quality so if he goes all the best to him.

If he stays at The Dogs, there’s just as much chance he won’t be playing NRL, maybe more.

Melb are buying him to replace Hynes. So from his point of view if money is equal, he’d be thinking about getting the same chance as Hynes. Learn from the best, get a shot at NRL when he can, back himself full-time of course, but even if he fills in part time like Hynes, then impress to increase his value for the big contract next time.

Just like Hynes.

I bet Bellamy has given him the same blueprint.

If he ends up like Hynes In the Melbourne system or even half the player of Paps then he could be worth a look in the future to purchase back. Unlike Reimis , the kid is leaving on good terms and is seeking a way to improve his game.

I say good luck to him. He is never going to be a superstar but he gives 100% every game and he’s much better now than when he signed. Hopefully he goes well at the Storm if they pick him up

Anyone care to put a few grand on it that Meaney is more than just a ‘fill in’? I’m happy to put 5k up that he plays more than three games during origin. I’m very serious, we can organise it through one of the betting apps and put then post the screen shot on the Kennel. I’ve put similar bets up before but no one wants them even though they’re so sure and opinionated. Anyway offer is out there. If he signs with Storm he’ll play more than just origin time. 5k against 5k. Just a money where your mouth is type thing.

He probably takes that bench utility role

Meaney doesn't have a strong running game or a passing game. How is he playing 6 on any team. You can count the line breaks that Meaney has made since being in first grade on one hand. I cannot remember many try assists either. His attributes are that he is safe under the high ball and has a bit of speed. He would look better in the Melbourne system as most players do. He offers nothing to us except he is safe and rarely makes a mistake. We have JAC and Cotric on the wings next year and potentially Avo or Allen at Fullback.

What a ridiculous bet to take, what an even more ridiculous bet to offer.

I'd ask how much money you blow in stupid bets except I can't believe you're serious.

What I'd bet, no money (because I'm not stupid) just bragging rights, is that if there was somebody stupid enough to take you up on that bet and stump their stupid $5k, you wouldn't.

Or are you that stupid?
