'We will': Storm boss' big hint on impending Tino pursuit
Moderated by Tomas Kauer 
Storm chief executive Justin Rodski has given the biggest indication yet his club will pursue Tino Fa'asuamaleaui with the prop available to speak to rivals from November 1.
Despite a long-term contract with the Titans, Fa'asuamaleaui has a clause that lets him explore the market and a return to Melbourne has been speculated upon heavily.
On SEN, Rodski was careful with his words but said enough to suggest the club will go hard.

"I couldn't answer that right now other than to say we'll explore every single option to strengthen our squad and our list," he said.
"Whether or not it's someone like Tino - I reckon Tino might come with a hefty price tag on him - we'd love to have him at our club again but we'll work through all that, we'll explore every option.
"This is a competitive market, the landscape's only going to get more difficult with expansion teams coming in, obviously Perth Bears can start to sign players from November 1 so it's going to be a really interesting period.
"We'll make sure we're in there and discussing every single player that can add value to our list and club. Clearly Tino would be a wonderful asset to any club and we'd love to explore that, we will. But clearly that's going to be a challenge for us with our squad and our salary cap but we'll have a look at it and see where it lands."
Fa'asuamaleaui has understandably grown frustrated at the Titans after arriving in 2021.
The Maroons prop is set to play under his third coach at the club in Josh Hannay after Justin Holbrook and Des Hasler were both sacked.

Speaking from Kangaroos camp, Fa'asuamaleaui listed what his simple demand is from the Gold Coast.
"Obviously I really want to be at the Titans and I think I've said this before, I want to see improvement there and want to start winning there," he said.
"That's what I want to see."
