Realistically there can't be anything in this Bromwich rumour can there?

He's nearing 30. He would almost definitely be marquee. Storm need to shed any cap money?

I don't see why not.

Bromwhich would be a hell of a signing.

Cameron Smith? well that would certainly help shift some season tickets! Id be over the moon for him to come play for us for a year, Can he shift to 13 when needs be rather than at 9 - I realise he's one of the greatest ever hookers but just wondered if he could start at 9 then shift if Parcell came of the bench, all pie in the sky I know.

On great players, its a shame SL can't really offer big money anymore because it would have been great to see a club be able to get someone like Thurston to come over for a final year.

Smith apparently has an offer of$1mill(aus) so way out of our league!

Cameron Smith and Jesse Bromwich... please, someone is on the wind up... neither are a cat in hells chance of leaving the Storm, let alone the NRL. Both up there with the best in their positions in the world, both fundamental to the Storm and both far too good to drop from NRL to SL - fanciful thinking.

Kenny Bromwich could be a possibility, but I doubt even he would leave the Storm.

Fensom would be ok if we're losing JJB, Delaney and Ablett, but he's not going to change our fortunes.

Lots of 'in the know' people just throwing random names around me thinks, particularly ex-Cowboys who've just been released.

A saints fan says Janes Graham may be heading back home for family reasons, but saints don’t have cap space.
Be a good addition IF we could get him.

Graham only just signed with St George, be amazed if he came back to England.

Bromwich, Smith it's silly season already is it!

The Brit we are linked with is probably Mark Flanaghan

The genius of Smith is that he doesn't seem to do much physically. I can't see him being too happy about working in his final year's nuts off at a modern day 13.

The genius of Smith is that he his probably in the top ten all time best Rugby League players and very near the top of that list!

It does appear to be silly season with the transfer speculation regarding our proposed new signings for 2019

Cameron Smith has apparently just agreed to a new deal at the Storm for 2019 worth $1 million,I can't see us gazumping that offer

Jesse Bromwich would be a fantastic signing, but as he's still one of the best props in the NRL it also ain't gonna happen unless mega money is offered

James Graham to Leeds would be a mega signing but again IF he comes home under his terms and preferred choice of clubs then he will only be ever going back to Saints for a grand finale season or two

The rumours about one of our proposed signings being a big name is intriguing,but IMO we need far too many new players adding to our squad before we ever look at signing one on Marquee money

We're gonna be shopping below marquee level IMO but if we shop wisely then we could come up with some very shrewd signings
