"Pretty good compromise iamnot, though I can see the other NRL clubs pushing back on this. They don't want Melbourne to gain an unfair advantage, but they won't want us getting one either."
"Mediation with a gun to our head.
The NRL has leverage over all clubs. Unless ALL clubs other than the Storm stood against this together, I think mediation will be VLandys looking for this to go away, not for it to end fairly.

Lol whatever
When’s hock coming
hahahaha
Family issues idiot
I heard that brock is still coming
As the local newspaper reports , Lamb said he has played football and nothing else , never had a real job and so he says he wants to experience a normal sort of life without the strict regime of NRL training and commitments . He has been offfered an electician apprenticeship . Considering the stability including income from a lifetime trade qualification against a few more years of uncertain footy career , it sounds like Lamb has made the best decision ? https://www.maitlandmercury.com.au/story/6584586/brock-lamb-signs-w...
Only a mediocre back up, who cares.
Pops, I tend to agree, if he can get a job as an apprentice electrician, would set him up better for the future. Certainly moving back to his home ground of Maitland provides him with reconnection with family, and he can still play RL with prospects of once he gets the trade side of his life in order he could still play NRL if he was interested in chasing a club.
I would prefer us to use this opportunity to sign Baptiste or Levi as back up. Both would dirt cheap. We have only 25 spots in our top 30 atm too so im wondering how much money is left in the cap
I think we have 27 spots filled.
