News Storm after Meaney

[Doggiezbrah]

I know people are going to think Bellamy will work his magic on Meaney and turn him into another Papenhuysen but I don't see it happening.

We thought the same with Kasiano.

 

[Brian Boru]

Meaney will grow into a v good player. He just needs to get around a high performing group.
His pace alone is a huge plus that all gems need.
I hope he stays with us.

Very much agree.
Has a ton of pace, very good under a high ball, can tackle.

While he has been here, we have seen a backline that never gives a winger a chance to run.
For 3 years all he has had to do is run the ball out from our line.

He is 23 and will be a star at the Storm.

I am astounded at what some people here see when they watch a game.

He’s not at Papenhuyzens level in terms of raw talent but in my opinion he’s a very good first grader and has a bright future and can take his own game to another level, still only 23.

He’s been our best outside back this year by a country mile. Rock solid. We’ll see more of his attacking capabilities when he’s got some better players around him. He’s barely seen any space or clean ball since he’s been here.

Bellamy’s licking his lips. And if Bellamy’s interested then that’s a fair indication that holding onto him should be a priority.

 

[Bull Terrier]

I hope he stays, we haven't really seen his potential with other good players around him.
Has always tried for the dogs. Storm will get the best from him

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Fuck you all that doubted him, watch him improve in a better system

 

[Kempsey Dog]

@Kempsey Dog you ok brother? Not many had an appreciation for Meaney like yourself

I've died a little inside... Said in a thread ages ago I hope that Storm sign him so everyone can see that we were the problem in hindering his development

 

[mikey]

I have said this before, under Bellamy he could become another Papenhuyzen .
If it makes it easier to get Smith they can have him now !!!

Bellamy will turn him into a super star.I like him.always gives 100%

 

[Grechy21]

Spoke to him today at the members training session. He was coy when I asked him if he was going. I get the feeling he has already signed

I think he’s worth keeping but collateral damage to our clean out.

 

[chisdog]

I was joking lol

I'm not!

 

[Chris Harding]

What do you think Melbourne would offer him?

A Grand Final win?

 

[Kempsey Dog]

What he does at the Storm is pretty irrelevant next year from Bulldog point of view. I think we have seen pretty close to his ceiling of what he can achieve at the Dogs.

No way has he reached his ceiling, it's sad that we've hindered his development. As a club we have wasted so many years with DWZ and Hopoate at fullback and now their all going to be gone and we haven't developed a fullback in reserves either... Sad state of affairs

 

[Grechy21]

DWZ said that he loves the club and wants to retire here but the club is looking at shipping him around

 

[Papa Joe]

I will spew if we lose him as his best years are definitely ahead.
Far and away our back constantly showing gradual improvement with every game.

Meany should be way more of a priority to us than DWZ & Okunbor coming off an ACL.

Meany > DWZ or Okunbor.

I'm already spewing they f@cked up trading Dallin out, now this.

GIVE US SOMETHING FFS.

I think he has reached his ceiling at the Dogs I wouldn’t be surprised if he improved at another club though.

 

[silva]

As I’ve stated before, hands down our best back and probably our best player of the past two seasons. The morons putting shit on him over the years know way more than the best coach the game has ever seen. Just fucken lol.

PS people wanna talk about him getting rag dolled, we’ll to me that reflects more poorly on the team than him. One of the few shining lights over the past two years. If he does go (hope he doesn’t) I hope he has a stellar career.

DWZ and cotric have both been better then him this year easily

 

[silva]

People getting fomo here lol

 

[Blueandwhiteblood1968]

Yeah he is, but might get some sympathy having been out all year with injury. Same as Crichton, though I don’t expect we’ll keep both in ‘22.

Surely we won't re-sign Crichton the fucking useless midget!!

 

[silva]

1. Averillo/Allen
2. Addocarr
3. Naden
4. DWZ
5. Cotric
6. Burton
7.
8. Thompson
9.
10.
11. Elliott
12. Rfm
13. Jackson

We clearly need to unload Meaney andsign a halfback hooker and 2 props

 

[TAS]

I would let go of Katoa and Crichton and keep Meaney.
