Whiting should be playing every game. Vastly under rated. We dont need a nother back rower if Washys coming back imo. We need another hooker

you forgot that we also play too deep so by the time the player receives the ball he has to make six or seven metres before he gets back in line from where the ball was played which makes it easy to defend.

I don't think it's playing too deep (often not deep enough IMO), it's that a lot of our players don't run onto the ball hard enough.

Absolutely ridiculous to not be signing an out and out centre.

I'd imagine the likes of Whiting, Hadley and Turgut will be amongst the lowest earners at the club.

The top teams do have 3 very good 2nd rowers.

Leeds- JJB, Ablett, Delaney
Saints- Vea, Wilkin, Greenwood
Wigan- Farrel, Tomkins, Bateman
Hudds- Ferres, Hughes, Wardle

We have Mini, Pritchard, Westy and whiting.

Plus Ellis if out young props step up, that's as good as the ones named IMO.

I suppose the good thing about not signing another outside back is more chances for Logan, Lancaster and Naughton.

If we are to sign another forward it should be a youngish one who can long term replace the likes of Mini, Ellis and Whiting.

We desperately need a centre so we sign a winger, a stand off and a load of forwards.

So much for having better recruitment.

https://www.melbournestorm.com.au/conte ... n=Facebook Fonua is our centre, played a fair few times for one of the best teams in the world. Carlos is a gamble though.

Difficult for the club to recruit a hooker as he knows most weeks he won't play.

The club have done the right thing in signing a utility player to cover hooker, but IMO have signed the wrong player, someone like Godinet would have been better.

Should Houghton get injured we are in trouble and we need a new or loan signing.

Re: Rumours Rumours everywhere : Thu Jul 30, 2015 10:24 am  

Dont think we need any more 2nd rowers as we have plenty of possible 2nd liners particulary whiting and turgut who we should be giving plenty of gametime in the 8's. at a push we could use westerman in th2nd row with Jordan Abdul at losse forward. Very important in the 8's to give some of youngsters a chance. If we dont it would be a waste of time and money to have a 19'2 squad.

Re: Rumours Rumours everywhere : Thu Jul 30, 2015 11:07 am  

all I can think is that we have players moving out...such as westy who has had a whisper going around about he heading out for a while now. doesn't seem to go away.
personally id be surprised to see ellis play for us again, which I said from when he hit the deck. whiting will be a bit part player imo, filling in where ever we have to cover. michaels will likely get another year as will yeaman.
