[The Warrior Waka]

Man heads will roll if he wants to leave and we don’t get him against the other 2 clubs lol

Would be crazy if we get him now

CHT, Walker, Marata, NAS

Barney & Afb to start. Nuikore & Nas off the bench?? Ooouweeeee! Lol

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

He comes this year!?

Doubt he leaves the storm, he chose them over us recently no? It's just craig putting a rocket up him. The storm need NAS as much as anyone.

Knowing the storm I don’t think they would make it an easy transaction. You would also think we would need to give up a player or two to fit him in the cap even if they pay a percentage of his remaining salary.

Bunty and Pompey

 

[CWC]

We can give them CHT who can play with busted balls

Sore groin? Pffff

Was thinking myself to get him this year would be insane. Reported in that article to be on $850k in his new contract so we’d be looking at $900k minimum to get I reckon? As a replacement for AFB he’s probably worth it on impact he can provide? For memory I think he signed that extension with the storm just before AFB’s announcement seeking a release? Would be a crazy set of circumstances if he was aggravating for a release to join us

Calm down aye!! Stop ruining my pipe dreams buddy!

I'm sure there is a article somewhere where Nas is offside with the big wigs at the storm and they may want him gone. Not bellyache. I'd have to look through the thread to find it.

After 750K BHU offer anything looks like a bargain now

SHOOSH

Which highly paid Storm star is off-side with Melbourne powerbrokers to such an extent that coach Craig Bellamy would probably not stand in his way if he were to look for an opportunity elsewhere.




I posted this I saw on the storm forum last Sunday presuming it was regarding Howarth since there was some noise there. I said then I hope it’s regarding NAS and looks like it could be?

Thanks bro. I assumed it was Howarth also. And hoping it was Nas lol.

Dream scenario if we got him and storm had to chip in

 

[CWC]

We can offset the blow to the Storm by trading them Jackson Ford, Webby’s prized possession

 

[Levonsnow😝]

This NAS talk can't be real . Im always on here trying to combat the slighty sombre takes we can get on this forum. But this sounds like disney channel type talk .

We can dream....You're to old to be watching disney anyway lol

What more do you need to believe than he has a hyphenated name? Its a no brainer we’ll be interested

It’s like it’s meant to be.

My only question is what has he done (if it’s actually him) to put him so far on the outer?

 

[Up the guttz]

Wonder what NAS done to piss the Storm off, prob just being himself haha

I would love to have him but don’t think he will leave the Storm. It will be another Storm redemption story. Even if he did leave he wouldn’t come here, isn’t he on record saying he hates the Warriors???

 

[Warriorsfan92]

I assume it’s howarth to cowboys, finefuiaki to dolphins. Probably nothing in it for us. Molo makes more sense.

I know its highly debated . But im sure you cant leave a club for more money at another club for duration of your remaining contract.
