Apparently they are over by 1.5 Greg Inglis' according to the reports. (700,000 Aussie dollars). I think the 'average' NRL salary was estimated to be $160,000 so it's either cut a star ($500,000 ish) or several lesser players, therefore weakening your squad strength. |

More worryingly the new Union startup in Melbourne is rumoured to be looking at them all and there are questions about the future of the Storm as all their sponsors and backers are jumping ship.

it won't happen for a few seasons when the new tv deal comes in.
Reports have Lima to Canberra, Tolman to Canterbury and Finch to Newcastle. |

Yeah only Inglis and Slater.
Heard of Chambers?
He seems to be going OK for the Deads...
About to do another Jim Lisle reversal.
They would have no interest in the likes of Blair or Smith to name two at random...

......... I just thought Ganson and the video ref were incompetent, thanks for the heads up.
As for the original thread question, depending on who has room under the cap, it's more likely players will go to other NRL clubs. |

There is only one reason RU would want a Melbourne player and that is profile. Slater and Inglis both have massive national profiles. None of the others do. Cam Smith is the best player out of the lot of them but outside RL nobody would know who he is. We have seen countless times that unless you have a background in RU it is very unlikely a RL forward will make any splash in their game so they would only throw money at backs, and at high profile ones at that. Still laugh all you like Gijou, your ignorance makes us laugh along too. |

Finch was in talks with Warrington not so long ago.
We've resigned Briers this week though so I don't think it will be happening.

My ignorance.
I am the only one of you who knew who Jim Lisle was and why the actual evidence destroys your post before you even finish hammering it out.
Union would take any player in the Storm squad they could get because they are all athletes who can play football. Check out the Turds v Brumbies thriller last night for why they are so desperate...

As for Melbourne, they will keep most of their stars and lose maybe a few around the edges.
Slater. No.
Smith. No.
Cronk. No.
Blair. No.
Lima. No.
Inglis? Don't think so. But he is most likely to go. And end up in Vegas.
