  • 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,
