Melbourne Storm extends Lazarus Vaalepu's contract for two more seasons after his solid debut.
Aiming to go one step further next season, the Melbourne Storm have extended the contract of an off-contract forward, while another one will soon follow.
Not one of the five departing players confirmed by the club earlier in the week, two-time Samoan international Lazarus Vaalepu, has agreed to a new deal which will see him remain in Storm colours for a couple more seasons.
Debuting in Round 20 last season, Vaalepu featured in 12 first-grade matches after arriving at the club from the Canberra Raiders on a train and trial contract.
