  • Massive news, he was one of our best. Good on him though and it will allow us to keep Nuikore

    • RCG is more crucial than Niukore. RCG provided so much when returning from injury. He led the defensive line and provided great carries. When RCG was injured we struggled to replace him. Whereas we have abundant of backrowers in Carty, Papa, Matto, etc

      • He'll be 30 at the end of 2022, Niukore will be 25. We can expect continued improvement from Kaufusi & Stone next year and blooding of Hollis & Rodwell, plus a full season from Makhatoa & Gregg.

        My first reaction was, "oh hell no", but this might actually work well for us. 

        Letting him walk is exactly what the Storm would do.

          • Especially middle forwards

  • I wonder what sort of money his contract in 2023 was going to be? I wonder if he is chasing more money and hoping the eels will pay more 

    • He'll be chasing one more long term deal. 

  • Source ?

    • Daily Telegraph has the article 

      • That explains it

  • Is this actually a rumour or " your " rumour? 

    because I'd let 3/4s of our squad go before I let this happen. It doesn't make a lot of sense actually. Old Benny doesn't pay big contracts to boppers, so he's not going to get the huge payday. And he's got more chance of winning a comp with us at this stage. 

    I say dumb rumour,

"I can't recall seeing a flag in recent times after the Brett incident. Now I know why, thanks Super.
Geez, Brett used it as a genius trolling weapon though. The consequences are still being felt.

"No. He was the only one who refused after I gave him 4 months to swap it. He said he wasn't changing and he'd cop the ban.
I've gone back 8 years and 1,000 members and Brett was the only one with an Israeli or Palestinian flag. He'd also been warned…"

"Yes, Super & mods were probably naive at one point in allowing flag avatars. That was then.
Brett showed we need the Brett Rule.
He showed, even despite being gone, how powerful a trolling weapon a flag can be. A genius trolling strategy. It creates…"
