The Melbourne Storm have made a definitive call on the future of powerhouse prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona.
Speculation has been rife in recent weeks about Asofa-Solomona's intentions, with whispers of a potential departure from the club swirling around like a kick-off in the wind.
Reports have surfaced of the big man's eagerness to spread his wings after recovering from injury, only to find himself relegated to the reserve grade.
To add to the drama, it seems Asofa-Solomona has fallen out of favor with the legendary coach Craig Bellamy, causing a storm in the locker room.
The plot thickened on Sunday as Asofa-Solomona, donning the colors of the North Sydney Bears, found himself in hot water after being placed on report not once, but multiple times.
A sin-binning for a fiery shot on Brent Naden only added fuel to the fire.
But just like in a tense final minutes of a high-stakes game, the Storm have now put all speculation to rest by confirming their stance on Asofa-Solomona's future.
Will he stay and fight on with the club, or will he pack his bags and look for greener pastures? Only time will tell as this Rugby League saga continues to unfold.
