Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3425767, member: 1769"] it's being reported that the Storm are pushing very hard to get Walsh for the remainder of the season. but the Warriors won't budge and come to the negotiating table. They say because of the reason for Walsh's release request. the other player they're trying hard to get is Adam Doueihi from the Tigpies ... probably the only team in the comp that "might" owe the Storm a favour. [B] Michelle Bishop told SEN 1170[/B] “I can reveal that this is a massive push from the Melbourne Storm so they’re not whispers, it’s actually happening,” she said on SEN 1170. “They’re pushing hard. They want the Warriors obviously to release Reese Walsh early. He’s obviously signed with the Brisbane Broncos for the next three seasons, starting next year, but he would be the perfect candidate to fill the void left by Ryan Papenhuyzen who, of course, has had absolutely no luck with injuries. “This will also take a bit of pressure off them to allow the Melbourne Storm to leave Nick Meaney there, who is a capable replacement, but leave him and freeing him up on the wing.” [B][I]Bishop though added the Warriors will not “budge” and come to the negotiating table.[/I][/B] “That’s despite still benching Reece Walsh for Chanel Harris-Tavita, who is not going to be at the club next year either,” she said. “But they don’t see it as a good fit. They said that Reece wanted to be back home in Brisbane to be close to his family... but shifting from New Zealand via Melbourne to Brisbane is just not a good look. “I can’t see the Warriors relenting with seven weeks to go. But as I say, the Melbourne Storm are pushing hard behind the scenes for it to happen.” [/QUOTE]
