Melbourne Storm

[LP]

Still no news on Cameron Smith? It's been very quiet there. I do hope he plays on (if he wants to) and we keep Harry Grant and Brandon Smith, but where do you play them all in 2021?

I have thought Cameron Smith could play half even if we lose Jarrome Hughes, or further back in the pack if we lose someone else.

Hope we end up keeping Cooper Johns, I think he will be a good player long term. There is quite a queue at the Storm for positions.

I'd heard that Hughes is gone, it's a done deal. he'll be missed but the Storm are happy to let him go for a better offer they cannot match.

It's hard to see Storm retaining all the talent, they want Harry Grant back in and I think a season besides Cam would be perfect. I suppose they must also consider the future money needed to retain Pap, Munster, Hynes, etc., etc..  If at the end of 2021 they lose Cam as well as Josh that'll go a long way to secure the kids, as long as they can keep the wolves at bay until then!

Some rumours also that Brandon Smith is being courted for a 2022 move, apparently he has agreed to 1 year more despite having a get out clause if Cam plays on.

I suppose I can imagine Brandon leaving or being forced out which delivers Harry a spot besides Cameron.
