Re: Melbourne vs Souths Finals Week1 Saturday 8/09 5:45pm

Will Chambers and Todd Lowrie are to huge losses but nothing we can't replace by any means. Our bench this week is probably the biggest, strongest and most inform it has been in a couple of months. Vave is a big plus and Fa'aoso had a good game last week. Despite Bunnies having one of the biggest fo...

Re: Melbourne vs Souths Finals Week1 Saturday 8/09 5:45pm

I'll say this here since its apart of the game. What a joke the press conference was today. Whoever came up with the questions for Bill should be...... Alls Ken Sutcliffe would ask was GI this GI that. But right at the end said. Oh do you think you can win. Pfffffft. Looks like we are under the rad...

Re: Melbourne vs Souths Finals Week1 Saturday 8/09 5:45pm

The media guru for the club last night said via twitter that Vave is fit to play this week, pending whether or not Craig picks him. If this is so I'd definitely put him in

Re: Storm Player of the Year

If you think our props are great you must be watching a different game mate, they have been good in patches but not great. Considering two of them were on the edge of retiring before coming to club and injury plagued, and the other is still young, they have been pretty close to being great througho...

Re: Storm Player of the Year

Norrie is my dark-horse. You have to be kidding if you think Bryan Norrie is any chance at winning the Player of the Year Award. He has had a rather average year (by far his worst since he first came to the club in 2010) and has made little to no impact up front and looks old, tired and past his us...

Re: Storm Player of the Year

Cooper is my pick for Dally M, even though many are saying Barba is a certainty. When voting closed he was a whole 6 or 7 votes ahead of Barba and that was only 10 rounds ago. However, often the Storm Player of the Year award does not reflect on the Dally M votes as such (i.e Billy winning Dally M l...

Re: Finals

Versing Manly week 1 of the finals has it's benefits. Versing them in week 1 means that if we are to verse them again in the finals it will only be the GF. It also means that if we beat them week 1, we will most likely verse either Rabbitohs or Cowbys in Melbourne in the Prelim. We have a 75% win re...

Re: NRL finals system changed

I'm excited, but extremely nervous/not confident at all, I can still see us losing possibly one, or two of our remaining games against the Broncos and Tigers. So potentially finishing fourth behind Souths and Manly (who have easier games) [ Post made via iPhone ] http://www.thebaistand.com/images/m...

Re: 2012 Official Thread + Signing news

With the abundant of junior plays we have re-signed, does anyone have the feeling that Bellamy and the gang are entering a rebuilding stage? If so I bloody hope not because we have so much potential, and we're 2nd on the ladder for god sake! Plus, the big 3 won't be around forever...

Re: NRL finals system changed

My prediction for finals (fingers crossed/touchwood) Storm vs Rabbitohs @AAMI Park on the Sunday - Storm win make it through to the Prelim Storm vs Manly @AAMI Park on the Saturday night 23rd I think - Would be an absolute cracker, win in this would almost be the greatest win ever. GF Dogs vs Storm ...

Re: Round 20 - Melbourne Storm v Parramatta Eels

Great news with Dane back, and also Billy as I can't understand why we'd risk him against the eels. Nonetheless we shouldn't underestimate them as they have beaten Manly and Cronulla. Not a fan of Rory Kostjasyn at 5/8 tho, I think he's more of a utility who comes into the game late, but Maurice Bla...
