TBF, half the run on squad are in the leadership groupMatt wrote:Croft straight into the Bronx leadership group. Ill add that, a half in the leadership group is a MUST. Its the Quarterback theory. They guy driving the car needs to be the leader. BUT, the guy wasnt even in the building before he got the leadership call up. Went to Tassie with Boyd, Glenn, Lodge, TPJ, Carrigan and Haas.

The storm have about 3 quarters of the Comp beaten on game day on effort alone let alone talent on the park. They will be top 4 at a minimum. You’re way ahead of yourself buddy.Matt wrote: ↑December 3, 2019, 6:49 pmStorm now down:
Drinkwater to Cows mid 2019
Croft to Bronx 2020, and in leadership group.
Stimson to Dogs.
Scott to Raiders.
Walters to Tigpies.
Kata to Rugby.
Chambers to Japanese Rugby.
Vunivalu to Rugby 2021.

Ryley Jack's returns from Titoons
Just about every player on that list played below expectations in 2019. Looks like Bellamy is happy to let players go who he doesn't see as part of the core group that will take them forward.Matt wrote: ↑December 3, 2019, 6:49 pmStorm now down:

That is possible, yes. However, they have also killed their depth in the process, which was one of their strengths.Northern Raider wrote: ↑December 4, 2019, 8:48 amJust about every player on that list played below expectations in 2019.

Quite a few of those were on a lot more than 'depth' money. Even more notable that none of them were established NRL players until they joined Melbourne. Bellamy has a real knack for turning nobodies into somebodies.Matt wrote: ↑December 4, 2019, 10:44 amThat is possible, yes.

Yes, but dont think those guys are nobodies. All the players they are losing will start at their new clubs - Walters is iffy, but only coz Tigpies have a dozen halves.Northern Raider wrote: ↑December 4, 2019, 2:51 pmQuite a few of those were on a lot more than 'depth' money.
