With the Storm based at Optus there is really going to be a hungry and competitive culture surounding the young Carlton boys. Rugby League players are tough hombres. Many in the Sydney boxing scene model their conditioning on rugby league training, the Swans also incorporated league practices.

Handled professionally, the relationship will be a great two years for developing our young players leadership qualities, work rate in the gym and general toughness of the young playing group.

Be nice if they get the on-field discipline and toughness of the RL players, and some of the training toughness and discipline, but hopefully they'll stay away from some of the off-field antics and attitudes of the RL players.

Storm coach bellamy runs a tight ship - Storm players are never in the news for doing anything wrong.

Absolutely…not a huge RL fan but gotta like the way they have far less whinging & backchatting umpires than AFL

Storm boys have been up on sexual misconduct in the last two years. Overshadowed by Canterbury's poolside gang bang.

I would love for Campo to turn up, and for the Storm to use him as tackling practise.

Why do you think he left...?
