Re: Official thread and signing news

No surprises that Foxsports are reporting that Olam just has pass a medical and he's off the Tigers. I'm surprised it's taken this long! https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2024-luke-garner-zac-hosking-transfer-whispers-salary-cap-jarome-luai-where-will-they-go-canberra-raiders-wwos...

Is Kame Bradley an option for Coates' position?

If there is a better defensive effort on the Anderson/Coates side of the field than there has been with Olam/Coates than I'll be happier

Re: Round 14 Cowboys v Storm Sun 4 June

It seems to me we still haven't got that forward momentum form the front rowers that we used to have allowing Hughes ( who is also having an outperforming year) to best T use his skills. When Grant has some space, he can perform but I saw no examples of that. The other thing is that Coates seems to ...

Re: Round 14 Cowboys v Storm Sun 4 June

So after so much "robust" discussion after the dismal match, including lots of "people have to be dropped" comments, just who faces the chop. I can't see 1,6,7 and 9 being dropped nor NAS, Welch and Tui. Katoa didn't really have such a bad game nor did Warbrick. I'm not sure whet...

Re: Storm re join NSW cup …North Sydney Bears

I'm wondering if the connection to North Sydney means there's a possible disconnection coming up with the Tigers due to their desire to be the 18th NRL team.

Possible things in the Tigers back rooms that we, as fans, are not privy too?

Maybe I'm missing something but but what does Anderson actually add to the team?

Re: 2024 Squad

Just before Lodge left Storm there was a rumour of an unnamed forward offering to take an issue outside with one of the coaches - his exit of the club and the spiralling behavioural issues may be more than a coincidence. The rumour I heard was that Lodge was unhappy about not being picked in first ...

Re: An honest assessment

Totally agree about Olam as under the new interpretations combined with his reputation and his kamikaze tackling style he could easily become more of a liability then asset. The issues with Hughes and Grant are very dependant on whether the forwards are bending the line and the reffing interpretatio...

When Paps is back, How does it change the Team Structure

As now there is talk of a Paps return, I was wondering what other Storm fans think on how that will affect the backline.

Does Meaney go to the wing meaning Warbrick drops out.

Do you play Meaney at 14 as a just in case measure?

Jennings spend winter in Queensland?
