Citing a need to "do other things" Woolnough, then 27, set off with his wife Bec, backpacking through South America, South Africa and Britain. It was in England that Woolnough ran into Newton, and when talk turned to football - and Storm's need for front-rowers - the wheels were set in motion for the veteran to join Melbourne. "Clint Newton talked him into it. He was the driving force," Storm football manager Frank Ponissi said. "Adam then rang (Storm coach Craig Bellamy) and asked him if he would be interested and he said, 'Absolutely'. Now he's ended up on our doorstep. "He still had a year to go on his contract at Penrith, but he needed a year off and rediscovered his hunger. "Newto gave (Storm) a massive wrap and I've never heard a bloke so enthusiastic to get here. Adam wrote me an email, which was impressive. "He's seen what has happened here to other players. He's come with no guarantees, but the right attitude. "I think he has looked after himself conditioning wise, but he needs a big pre-season. He's going to be behind the eight-ball. "But if his attitude is anything to go by, he'll be good for us."
