We must have employed warrington's accountant if we're signing chase, holdsworth, 2 NRL players and 6-8 others for the cost of the players leaving

Neither do I. And he's starting to get into some great form. A real good run on the back of a good pass for his try on Sunday and his passion for the team is brilliant.

westerman's played the full 80 for the last 2 games hasn't he?

not too sure about these 2 NRL players unless we are including Gareth Ellis as one

it probably means that most of the '6-8 others' won't be big name players and are on small salaries

can't imagine Aspinwall is on a big pay considering we brought him in so late

I do wonder who "the six" are, after being described as mostly future young internationals you could classify Crookes and Arundal in that category, even though we don't thing Arundal is in "the six". Looking at OOC British players I can't see any others that fit that bill other than O'Loughlin but I can't imagine him signing for us and we don't need a 13.

So we are either paying a fee or we might be disappointed with the names. I'm setting my exceptions low to not be disappointed! If we get Chase and Holdsworth + 1 decent prop, with Ellis, Arundal and Crooks we will be massively better than this year.

I think you're right and it won't be someone of Stewart's class, but the thing is if it was a first team fullback from any but a couple of NRL sides he'd be one of the top 5 in SL straight away IMO.

Beat me to it.

it just goes with what AP PG are saying.. young english and he's in the nrl

I think the main thing regarding westerman is that we signed him as a promising youngster and paid a hefty fee for him aswel.

But from then (me personally) even though he possesses the quality, he rarely shows it playing for us. He's had good matches but still to this day, he wasn't worth the amount we paid for him

He is a promising young player. One who captained the England Knights last season and missed out this year through a bad injury. It's not his fault we paid a hefty fee for him! He's coming into some good form now and I am confident he will prove to be an excellent player.

think Widdop is way too high a target for us, we can't afford him and doubt he'd want to leave the NRL, nevermind leave the storm

Widdop? Why on earth would we have a chance at getting one of Melbourne's young halfbacks to come here? Melbourne are a top team and Widdop plays a big role in that team.

They "staying till 12" is questionable.

However the "fan" who got into the players lounge should get a life ban, it's mentioned, but will it happen?
