Melbourne's Josh Addo-Carr is set to request a release from the club on Monday, according to The Daily Telegraph and Channel Nine.

The winger will meet with Storm coach Craig Bellamy on Monday and make his request away official.

The 24-year old has long been linked with a move to Sydney this off-season for family reasons.

It is believed that Addo-Carr has split from his manager and is now handling negotiations himself, with the Wests Tigers reportedly at the forefront to secure his signature.

However, Nine is reporting that Bellamy will refuse his request to depart the club, with two years running on his current.

The supercoach told media on Friday: “We expect that he’ll fulfil his contract, so until something happens other than that, that’s what we’re expecting.

“I think he’s having some issues with his manager at the moment or they’re having issues with each other, so as I said, he’s got another two years to run on his contract and we’ll be expecting him to see out those two years.”

  1. Should grant him permission to talk to other clubs but not release him.

    With the loses of Will Chambers, Curtis Scott and now Addo-Carr your backs numbers are definitely down. I’d try swap Josh for Alex Johnson.
    Rabbits have been trying to get rid of him for ages and JAC would be great for them. Since JAC is by far the better player get the bunnies to pay for JAC and pay 200k of AJs remaining deal.

    Storm get Johnson who at 24 has good experience and was the comps leading try scorer a few years back. He’s a good back to bring in to replace Carr. Bunnies get an upgrade on the wing and another star to that team.

  2. Melbourne are in self destruct mode after Bellamy derailed the team spirit with two rounds remaining last season.

    What coach in his right mind changes the main man in halfback Croft after leading the team around all season with a 6 point minor premiership victory then dumps him on the eve of the big game semi finals.

    Others want out also besides the players who have already departed in Chambers, Blair, Croft, Drinkwater, Kata, Scott & Stimpson. There is a revolt going on in Melbourne. Bellamy has been there to long and his master plans cost him last seasons premiership.

    Any wonder why Ado-Carr wants out also under the excuse of family, which is always a winner.

    Poor little AlicksRectonalman is going to be the next penso the sookie clown alias BrisbaneBunny or better known as Punny. Hahahaha.

  3. …….……..NEWS FLASH…………..
    From the Turner artice…..

    Penso is indeed the BrisbaneBunny…..lets look at his two separate logins and notice the exact same words used in this story by the same penso the clown individual.

    “F.. off…..Turner is a solid player and I wish he was still there, but he is not”

    “Turner is solid player who can cover a number of positions”

    The evidence is overwhelming that penso is still in love with his sacked hero Turner both as penso and as his other login name the BrisbaneBunny. Hahahaha.

    Your busted big time Shadow/penso/brizyrabbit!!!! Haha
    Hahaha…hahahaha…..hahahaaa!!!!!
    Penso+Bunny=Punny. Ahahahahaha
    I like that new name for penso, Chookstir.

  4. Great pick up for Wests, if they get him?
    Wouldn’t blame Melbourne for not letting him go, with two years left on the contract though.
    If they don’t want to serve out the contract, don’t sign it.

  5. EastOfDivide, his family situation could have changed after his contract was finalised. Also, there hasn’t been any mention in any potential future clubs either.

  6. As I mentioned last week, the Souths grass roots junior wants to come home and link up with his mate Latrell.
    Sorry, chookstain and co, a few more long necks might ease the trauma you are going through. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  7. Sad to see this bandied about again.

    Bellamy was right to dump Croft when he did. There was a rift there and he was weak in defence. He needed to find a place for young Pappy and Croft was the weakest link. We definitely need a good no.7 and we need Josh. I hope Bellamy can work something out with the lad.

    Either way, it looks like Melbourne will be in for a bumpy ride this season. We might not make the top 4 at this rate.

  8. Could be worse Rucky. The sombreros are now that desperate they’re resorting to resigning the dud Friend, the Damien Cook wannabe.

  9. swa9amuff1n would Johnson go to another club to play wing ? We all know he wants to play fullback and while he has improved he’s a winger first and foremost. I believe he is most likely to be moved on depending on the latest offseason game of musical chairs but I’d say he’s waiting for an offer the Melbourne won’t supply.

  10. Still trying to convince people that your not the only one who has more than one identity hey adamh, I actually know who brisbane bunny is and it’s not me, I don’t play those games, I man up as myself, unlike yourself who also goes by chooksti mark. and others , your gutless antics are that of a person who needs special care in a mental unit.

  11. Hahaha very funny Penso alias brisbanebunny, we all know Turner is a “solid player” you told us with both your logins. Nice attempt to avoid the deadset obvious. You can not possibly think you can get out of this one you twofaced twerp penso. Hahaha caught out good and proper this time mate.

    “I actually know who brisbane bunny is”
    (with a space between brisbane and bunny) hahahahaha. in an obvious attempt to divert the fact that if he was brisbanebunny he would write it differently. We know it is you penso. Haha

    Tell us all another one penso you porky pie fibbing clown. How do you actually know the Brusbane Rabbit clown???? Ive been on this site for almost 3 1/2 years and he just popped up from no where just the other night.

    Just tell the truth penso, you know him because you are the brisbane bunny, sorry the brisbanebunny. CLOWN. Hahahaha caught out you clown. Penso is caught out!!!! Hahahahaha.

    Thats made my year, hahahahahahaha

  12. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.penso is brisbanebunny Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

  13. TwentyOne Friend is a superior compeditor to Souths Cook.

    Friends Four grand finals for three premierships, throw in Two probably three world club championships and an Aussie test jumper to Damien 666 Cooks nothing trophies proves beyond any doubt that just because a player is quick out of dummy half dosent make him a better player.

    Friend is a two time Premiership winning co-captain.
    Cook is a back to back choker who is Easily bottled up in the big games against the great defensive teams like Sydney Roosters. Hahaha

  14. Ado-Carr if on the move certainly will not end up at Souths. They have more wingers than centerpedes have legs. Tigers are chasing quality, Souths chase cheap nobodies.

  15. Some of these guys need to think for a moment about where their current success came from.

    JOC only blossomed into a representative player under Bellamy and the Storm system and Mitchell owes a large part of his success to the Roosters structure and the players who line up inside him.

    A change of clubs may just lead to unhappy consequences.

  16. Good point Barry but greed usually wins out over common sense unless there is more going on which wouldn’t surprise me.
