Storm<\/a> chief executive Justin Rodski has given the biggest indication yet his club will pursue Tino Fa'asuamaleaui\ufeff<\/a> with the prop available to speak to rivals from November 1.<\/p>\n

Despite a long-term contract with the Titans, Fa'asuamaleaui\ufeff has a clause that lets him explore the market and a return to Melbourne has been speculated upon heavily.<\/p>\n

On SEN, Rodski was careful with his words but said enough to suggest the club will go hard.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"I couldn't answer that right now other than to say we'll explore every single option to strengthen \ufeffour squad and our list," he said.<\/p>\n

"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.<\/p>\n

"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.<\/p>\n

"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."<\/p>\n

Fa'asuamaleaui\ufeff has understandably grown frustrated at the Titans after arriving in 2021.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Speaking from Kangaroos camp, \ufeffFa'asuamaleaui\ufeff listed what his simple demand is from the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

"Obviously I really want to be at the Titans \ufeffand I think I've said this before, I want to see improvement there and want to start winning there," he said.<\/p>\n

"That's what I want to see."<\/p>\n
