Wasn't that announced ages ago? Why was there any confusion?

There you go. I thought it was officially announced. But the post I was thinking of was from BroncosHQ.

Is the Club at the point of needing to look for a backline top up player ? Is there a spot left in the top 30 anyway ?

Re you talking about Israel Ogden ….i agree but I don’t think that’s how storm works they just promote from with it ….coby is back playing this week apparently they pulled Mitchell Jennings mid game of the 21s …he was hurt but I was told after that he could’ve kept playing and most likely will play this week (Proberly in the 21s but you never know

And by the looks of Suas pic on Insta yesterday Nick and Will a back soon

Plenty of spots left. The question is whether or not there's any $$$. I'd be surprised/disappointed if the Welch retirement money has been spent solely on retaining King/Loeiro etc. I'd like to think they have some left to make another decent signing to finish the year off strong.

I was thinking of Komalafe actually. Hadn't noticed Ogden.

Bronson Garlick signed with South Sydney Rabbitohs for 26 and 27

Saw the rumour about 6 weeks ago so it’s not really a surprise tbh

Good luck to him

Yeah disappointing for our Club .......but the Sydney family pull and definitely more opportunities with the Bunnies when his FG opportunities at Melbourne are infrequent, is understandable
