I agree that looks awesome!,We need to sign Adam Blair tho,he's tough and got heaps of agression,I don't see Luke O'Donnell signing with us so Blair is the man we should be Chasing if the Storm let him go.

If the Storm can't keep Brett White, looks like he will become the 101st member of the Raiders forward pack:

Article also mentions that if White goes, they are very confident of keeping both Manu and Blair. Not good new for us.
However, stay tuned for the auditers press conference today at 11am - apparently it is going to be big news. Storm could be losing a lot more players than they think...

I reckon Cronk is the spine aswell. Slater wouldn't be as good as he is without Cronk putting him through holes. Don't get me wrong, Slater is a great player but I think Cronk makes him look a little bit better than he is by putting him in holes.

Manu's played the majority of his footy in the backrow for Melbourne IIRC, where as Blair initially started out as a front rower and has now shifted to the backrow.
I also rate Blair higher than Manu. If not for Manu missing the majority of last season though, who knows? Thought that might've been his breakout season. That was a big set back for him IMO.
I want Johnathan Thurston too but that's just not gonna happen. Storm aren't gonna let Cronk go and if they do he'll more than likely take that ridiculous offer from Parramatta that was rumoured to be up around the $600k a season mark. There's no way we could contend with that, and for that amount of money, there's no way I'd want to either.

I agree that Cronk's key to Melbourne's success and pretty much runs the show up there, but it works both ways. They both make each other look better. If one of them were to leave, there's no doubt the other ones football would suffer.

NRL.com says the possible 2011 Melbourne line-up is this:
Billy Slater, Matt Duffie, Greg Inglis, Chase Stanley, Justin O'Neill, Gareth Widdop, Cooper Cronk, Brett White, Cameron Smith, Bryan Norrie, Kevin Proctor, Robbie Rachow, Adam Blair. Interchange: Luke Kelly, Billy Rogers, Jesse Bromwich, Hep Cahill

Love for the knights to play that team come State Of Origin time
The Storm have to drop atleast one if not two of those players. Forget LOD get Cooper Cronk.

Forget signing someone who's actually off contract and we're in contention for to focus on someone who's still on contract and has no desire to join the Newcastle Knights? We have about as much chance signing Jonah Lomu as we do Cooper Cronk. Not gonna happen.

As much as I hate to agree. Sadly I must admit that you are right. Cronk will no way join the Newcastle Knights. We can dare to dream but realistically it's not my Rugby League 3 franchise where I have
1.Gidley
6.Cambell
7.Cronk.
Besides. We already have:
1. Ben Rodges
2. Jarrod Mullen
3. Beau Henry
4. Kurt Gidley.
Do we really need anymore halves?

Lets try and sign Inglis, I am sure he will be keen after hearing that Joey Johns is a specialist coach up here.

Agreeeee I am so sick of hearing every name in the book including Cronk who:
a) Has attracted interest from Parra and strongly came out and denied going there... how do the Knights stand a chance?
b) Is the Storms NO.1 'not going anywhere' player.
Would Inglis come to Andrew Johns' hometown and play for the Knights with pride after all that happened this year, be realistic... dreaming. He knocked back a Broncos offer, why are the Knights any better as a recruiting club?
As for if we will sign any Storm players, highly doubt that too.
