Mid-season signing targets

Before we go on a shopping spree .... I suspect the following players are going to be looking for upgrades .... depending on their performances in '18 ...

All of the following players would be on low to minimum contracts .... a solid year by any of them (even in reggies) will lift their asking price ..

Parker
Kelly
Crocker
Hastings
GoJetSki
Lane
Kelepi
T. Wright
Fainu
Anderson
Moses Suli
Loko
Paseka

Any others? The greater their success the less chance we will have to keep them all ... we will need to choose wisely ....
Our priority is a 5/8 and we need to choose wisely .
 
If Lussick leaves can we fill his spot in the 30?
We only have 28 spots filled now.
Moses Suli could be added, meaning that we still have one/two positions to fill.
 
I have heard some rumblings that the because we have appealed the NRL will not register any more players until resolved.

Wonder were that puts us with regard to the extensions on the player lists and 30th June - we have to have 30 players but we can't register anyone more?

Of those listed I would currently have doubts over
Froggy Crocker
Penny Lane
Loco(motive)
Moses
Of course, all have the rest of the season to shine

Parker and T wright are still contracted for next season . Siro and A P I are in the process of being upgraded . I am sure that the club would certainly like to retain guys like Kelly . Jet ski . Lane . Suli . Andersen Fainu . Fanu , not sure about Kelpi. Croker and Hastings , who knows . Darcy , Brown and maybe Uate to depart , maybe Myles "s payment is also off the cap next season and to accommodate retentions and upgrades . Certainly some careful and tactful planning by relevant club officials required in due course .
 
Is Cliffy still playing park footie. I'd snare him even at his age compared with Croker's efforts so far. Mind you without Taufua and Walker for a while, and then TT out, little wonder we've been struggling in the backs. Gutho anyone? Has he been consdiered?
 
As Woodsie suggested some weeks ago timing is very pertinent with Footy player "s allegiances and the time for Gutho in returning to Manly will not be happening any time soon it would seem .
 
Wisely.....never heard of him....lol

Sorry, couldn't resist. lol

No mid season signings for us! No soup for you!
 
What about Riley Jacks from Melb?
I’ve been saying it for some weeks now we should sign this kid for next year as we already sounded him out preseason but storm wouldn’t release him. At this stage I presume Hastings will be let go. I’d let Croker go as well. Sign jacks and bring in cust/Fainu/metcalf into the top 30 for cover. Riley jacks is a footballer and in the little nrl games he has played he fits in seemlessly at this level. Will be a player of the future. I just hope it’s with us

Jacks has played well tonight. How can Storm retain Jacks and Croft.
And Slater and Smith and the two wingers and Munster and Bromwich all under the salary cap.?

Perhaps we sign Croft then?
