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.
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.
"How does everyone think the Pezet/Moses combo is going? I know it's early days but to be honest from what I saw in the trials I'd say there's a fair bit of work to do. Hopefully they gel quickly as it could cause the difference between win and loss"
"In theory it makes sense and it works for us, but does it work for Lomax or the Warriors?
I did hear that Lomax was only interested in joining the NRL because it was with The Storm, so i'm not sure his position has changed on this? He has a big…"
"Jamie Lyon (right centre), edging out Timana Tahu (right centre)
Michael Jennings (left centre), edging out Michael Buettner and a smokey in Krisnan Inu
I've only just seen that the selection criteria is post-2000. Every single one of these…"
"Was there any player swap included? Or was it just Matterson and the 💰💰? Can't see how that would help Parra except finally getting rid of Matterson but the the Storm get Lomax a current rep and state of origin player. So what benefit is that? Don't…"

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.
