PREMIERS Melbourne have missed out on their main target for 2021 - English Test prop Robbie Mulhern.
WWOS reported back in March that the Storm and several other NRL clubs were keen to sign the 26-year-old from Hull KR.
A rugged, tough-tackling forward, Mulhern was seen as a possible replacement for Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, who has signed with the Titans.
But Mulhern will announce tomorrow that he has decided to stay in England, signing with the Warrington club.
The Storm have only signed two 'name' players for 2021 - George Jennings (Warriors), and Reimis Smith (Bulldogs) - and both are outside backs.
Having lost Fa'asuamaleaui and Albert Vete and possibly Cameron Smith, they are on the lookout for a couple of experienced forwards to bolster their ranks.

So Storm are still looking for a prop, guess they don't want to spend too much though. You'd think Mulhern would have jumped on that opportunity.
