Melbourne are set to improve their depleted backline following the signing of former Raider, Bulldog and Titan Brenko Lee.
Lee, the cousin of Newcastle winger Edrick, has been on a train and trial deal over summer and has now officially signed for the 2020 season.
The outside backโs signature is crucial for Melbourne who lost the likes of Will Chambers, Curtis Scott and Solomone Kata at the end of 2018, and will lose Suliasi Vunivalu and potentially Josh Addo-Carr at the end of this season.
It leaves the likes of Justin Olam, Marion Seve and Sandor Earl to cover the centre/winger spots, however, the club will likely receive an outside back in exchange for Addo-Carr.
With Olam all but locked into the left centre role after a strong second half of the season that kept Scott in reserve grade, that leaves Lee to battle Seve for the right centre role.
With 53 NRL games to his name, Lee will suddenly be the most experienced centre in the Stormโs Top 30.
Lee was previously signed for 2020 by Melbourne feeder club Eastern Tigers, however, he has now been upgraded to help fill the clubโs six vacant roster spots.
Brenko Lee is actually a really talent outside back. He can play winger on centre and has some X factor he just needs to improve his defence and consistency. Nice cheap signing for the Storm
Have to agree, swa. Lee has talent and Bellamy has a particular ability for bringing out performance in underachievers. Would not be at all surprised if he turns out to be a smart buy.
Not really a buy as he was with the Storm anyway, its just that he has been upgraded to the NRL squad. Hope he has learned something in the off season and finally realises that talent.
Lane when did you become so miserable. Have a look at some positives mate ๐.
Get you hand off it brennan, this post is about the Storm, men your a jealous bastard just can’t handle the fact players would rather play with souths than your beloved rooters.
Hey ZERO TACKLE only four posts and this article is turned into a ”I hate Souths story”. Can’t you get this idiot off this site. He is ruining it for everybody, including you.
Completely agree.
Can we please not dribble on about Souffs and a transit lounge or any of that garbage anymore.
Itโs just ruining the website for everyone here that wants to have a really discussion or simply just say what they want about the articles. Every day thereโs some rubbish coming from some people
Agree Chalky, Penso & SWA.
At this rate the only people on this site will be a hand full of Souths and Roosters nutters and their repetitive, negative and boring posts.
I don’t agree – I enjoy watching fools waste their time, pointlessly feuding with each other.
I also agree Chalky, Penso, SWA & BB. This would be a good footy site if it weren’t for some of the rubbish that gets posted.
Zero tackle, please get rid of those Easts guys , it is not fun to argue or say terrible things about a club, all want to have a site that has constuctive comments.
What we need to take into consideration here is that Brennan.Lane must love seeing his name on the big internet screen so often. He has 6 posts on this topic already, and it kind of reminds me of when I was in primary school I got excited if my teacher held up one of my drawings first for the whole class to see.
The difference is that back then I was only a little boy.
Attacking the rabbits? Cause I stated a played thatโs rumoured to be out of favour and looking at the Knights
Blyth… Didnโt you mean that those players left Melbourne, at the end of 2019?
Congratulations Brenan.Lane, you’ve learned how to copy & paste. I might be small, but I can manage just fine.
