We want somewhere between two to four and I can guarantee you everyone of those games will be a massive blockbuster. I’ll emphasise the word, we will de-risk the 18th franchise.” “But other than that point us in the direction and we will move. “We are pragmatic and we understand our place in the game.

It’s kind of an example of the reverse where does anyone really believe that the Storm think that he’s only worth $750,000 on the open market? “But for us as a club, that’s just not the value that we can afford to pay him right now. They may just need that person to boost the profile of the club and to entice some commercial opportunities to come in. “It’s like a house. To the Wests Tigers he might be worth $1.3 million,” Smith said on the show. “Why’s he not worth a million dollars?

Pole thriving after taking the path less travelled to NRL (NRL.COM)

As a New Zealand-born Tongan who was raised in Melbourne and previously played Australian rules, Fonua Pole is a pretty unique prospect in the NRL.

I haven’t [met him properly] yet, he came around training and told me I had a good game recently. He seems like a cool bloke who is always having a laugh with the boys.” “Knowing what they did for the club, all three of them, they obviously know what it takes to win, so I am real keen to learn off them and hopefully we can turn the club around,” Pole said. “We are only just starting to see the tip of the iceberg, and it’s not guaranteed they’ll all go on to play NRL. But I do think the long-term benefits of that the club will see over the next few years. “I really do think that is the case [that we have a great generation coming through], and it hasn’t been by luck, the whole club has really focussed on development in the last few years,” Betsey told NRL.com. “Originally mum just wanted to get me out of the house and took me to training for AFL,” Pole said.

'It'll get really messy': NRL great Smith fears Kangaroos-Origin divide amid eligibility debate.
