We all bleed the same color blood...purple....Inglis#3....we all want Storm to prosper....
there's differences of opinion for sure...that's life...but we all want the same thing.
Success.
Let's hope CB and FP have made some inspired choices. GO STORM

Buying experience to help guide the development of our young forwards seems like a good strategy to me. There are pros and cons to any player transfer and to pretend that it's all one or the other is naive.
Bad players???
Kasiano is devastating and the chinks in his armour are relatively easy to fix. Not a bad player at all IMO.
Myles is being compared to his best days, not what he currently offers from a value for money perspective. If Myles can find some form, he will prove a handy pick-up for likely not a big price tag. Far more likely to be successful than Norrie when we picked him up but that turned out alright.
Myles comes with pedigree and a proven track record for success at the highest level. If he can get back to half as good as his best days, he would still prove worthwhile (at the right price).

I fully get why people like the Kasiano signing. Bellamy could fix him. I've just always hated the way he plays footy. I'm not into players who think they're top shit but back down when the going gets tough.
Yes, Nate Myles is a bad player. If his name wasn't Nate Myles he wouldn't be playing first grade. Manly are in a forward crisis much like us and might be ok with letting him leave early. Just 18 months after giving naming him captain. He hasn't been good since his early Titans' days.

short term stop gap measure while the big recruitment game is played
