Billy Slater article in the Sun

Did anybody else read the article in yesterday's sun about Billy? Very good reading. Suggests that he is one of the best fullbacks of all time, if not the best. Big statement. Here is how he stacks up against some of the best: Billy Slater 186 NRL Games, 2 World Club Challenge Games, 14 Origins (Que...

May 6 Test

Just wondering if anyone knows when the squads are due to be named for this match? Hopefully a few of our boys get a run, Billy, Cam and Blairy are certs but, we may get Cooper, Duffie and Proctor in there too if we're lucky. Also wonder if Hinchcliffe is any chance of a Country cap. His form this y...

Re: Player ratings vs Panthers

Very happy to say to say I was wrong about the props and very wrong about how good Little G will go at 6. Be interesting to see how he goes come SOO when he will be the dominant half. I re-call a discussion last year where it was stated that we could be very good this year IF Bromwich, Proctor and K...

Kevin Proctor

Is it just me, or has he become the leader of our forward pack this year?

Again today, he was the one who led from the fron and took a lot of difficult runs and again he was the one diving on the loose balls to retain possession. Any chance a Kiwi jersey?

5.Stanley
6.Woolnough

9.Niko

Maybe when Sika gets back our forward pack should look like this:

8.Norrie
9.Smith
10.Manu
11.Blair
12.Proctor
13.Hinchcliffe

14.Vea
15.Thompson
16.Bromwich
17.Woolnough

Re: Storm eyes Hoffman

If he does come back, and he is one of our favourites, let's hope it's for what he's worth, not what he was worth. I would hate for us to lose Sika or one of our other forwards to accomodate someone who is probably past his best.

Re: Tallis: Only Storm can beat Melbourne

If you take out the Cowboys game, we haven't conceded more than 2 tries in any 1 week so I think we can lay claim to being better than 8/10 in defence their Gordie!

Re: Storm v Eels game thread *spoilers*

Let's be fair to Hayne, he did put a nice pass lace out on Billy's chest that ultimately led to a try (I think Quinn's). So it wasn't all bad. Did enjoy Quinny hitting Hayne too. Should get 3 votes in the Dally M's just for that!

Re: 2011 Official Thread + Signing news

I have to admit to not having been the biggest Proctor fan but, his early season form has me convinced that he can be something special. Really happy to see him re-sign, and ecstatic to see Hincliffe sign!!!
