Dragons front-row rotation:
Are Griffin and the recruitment-retention committee trying to sabotage the team for another 5 years???
At times last season, the slowness of the team overall was really easy to see. Well, I thought it was easy to see. Obviously Hook doesn't agree.
He might step up and be a real find but doubtful.
With a bunch of rejects posing as first grade props, the answer is yes. Josh Coric and the Couchman brothers need to be given first grade debuts this year. Chances are this may happen when this dud lot are jettisoned along with the coach mid year.
The recruitment for last season was head scratching but Griffin thought he could get another good year or two out of journeyman props no other club wanted. He was wrong so this year, he doubles down on that strategy. It's beyond baffling!
From that, looks very impressive. He must have a much larger blooper reel or he'd already be a first grader somewhere.
I'm impressed by both! Thanks for sharing the videos. But remember it's just a highlights reel. Do you think if they were really good, Melbourne wouldn't ahve tried to keep them? Who are Melbourne's outside backs? Olam is good but not exactly Reg Gasnier. Who else? The hooker is Grant. Obviously he isn't going anywhere but who is the back up hooker for them now?
He has been in the Storm pathway for a while but found himself stuck behind Harry Grant. Felt that was a brickwall tp playing top grade so needed to leave to explore other options. The Dragons offer came and he jumped at it. Talk was the Storm wanted to keep both he and Sione. Haele is only on a T&T with us while Sione is on a DC, odd that.

Strage that.
Stuck behind Grant and Smith but I think Storm had a mini crisis a few games last year when Smith was injured or suspended and Grant was on rep duty. If he was close to as good as those highlights suggest, I think he would have been in.
Sione is the outside back, isn't he? I think he's only 19. Haele is in a position we are REALLY lacking in. At least for this year.
That's an easy one. He wasn't in the top 30 because he was behind Grant and Smith so wasn't available for first grade selection.
I hope he came to us because we offered more money, not because Melbourne rated 5 outside backs above him.This may explain why Sione followed his brother out the Storm door.Storm sign up backline quintet
Five members of Melbourne Storm’s 2022 backline have received contract extensions, highlighted by the elevation of two players to the club’s NRL top 30 squad.
Good point.
Seems he must be only 19 or 20 so better than 90% of recent imports. At least that much can be said. What position does he play?

Anyone heard of this guy. We have signed him. News to me.
Pics of him on our website training. By his build I'd say in the halves. Hello FO we have our own next gen halves in Wallace and Herring. Why arent they backing them over imports.
