Reimis Smith released by the Storm.
I knew Vegas was going to be a distraction, you could see the players were just treating it as a free holiday with some mates rather than the start of the season. I have no doubt their minds definitely weren't on the job in the off season leading up to the trip.
Despite some ok wins early on it...
I reckon there is a chance he'll re-sign on a new and extended but 'discounted' contract.......he'll also acquire some new property in Townsville in the process.
One of those losses with be the Storm........they're a bogey team for us and live permanently in this teams head, we'd have to be at our best and for 80 minutes and then the bastards would still pull out some miracle try in the last few minutes to win.
Roster changes at this point sort of just feel like moving around or buying some new deck chairs on the Titanic.
There seems to be a fundamental lacking throughout the club that means we are not finding the right players, optimising their fitness, developing basic skills, structures., tactics...
I don't think Kevvie will be sacked by the club this year, the assistants have taken the fall for this year but next year is crunch time for Kev, another poor year and he will be gone.
Choosing to risk it all on the back of Teo and Barrett will be a brave choice.
I dunno.......the boys will be up for that challenge when they go out on town partying on their week off, they should be good for at least a couple of NRL suspensions or fines when they get into scuffles, I'm sure the NRL might even see fit to make an example of them with a points deduction.
