Re: Anthony Milford

I'd be happy to give Croft first crack next season if all the reports on him are correct. lets spread the spare cap money around a the squad to hold onto some of our good youngsters and sign a few more. the big three era is nearly over so time to rebuild the entire squad around the remaining core st...

Re: Round 3 Storm v Broncos

I don't think Slaters shoulder is the biggest worry with him coming back, I think the contact and physicality of playing first grade is the biggest hurdle. Like others have said, at least 1 game in for Sunny coast/East would have been beneficial. I hope Slater comes back firing Jacks on the bench wo...

Re: Billy Slater

Seriously how can Slater not be ready to play??. He has had 12 months to recover I am with you there. If it's not ready now, I'm not sure an extra week or two is going to help at all. However, reading between the lines from what has been said by our staff, Slater's shoulder is good to go from a rec...

Re: Billy Slater

Maybe with the rise of Croft, Bellamy thinks that having Munster back at full back and croft in the halves, this is our strongest team. if Slater is not 100% then Bellamy might actually be leaving him out in preference to others

Re: Tohu Harris to the Warriors

Sorry fellow storm supporters but I don't get the hype over Tohu!! There is no doubt that he is very good member of the team and his work-rate and commitment can never be questioned ( I don't mean that statement in a patronising way) but I don't feel he is the player others think he is. He is a hard...

Re: 2017 NRL fixture

Does anybody know if Storm will be selling tickets for our 'home' game at Suncorp and will there be a Storm section, as I assume they are not included in our membership

Re: PRELIMINARY FINAL - Storm vs Raiders

One of my sons lives in Canberra ( but still a Storm supporter ) , and I have already warned him to expect a heap of whinging from Stuart and the whole Canberra team. Cecchin can polarise opinion, and I think he made some errors against us, BUT he is one referee who has the courage to make his own ...

Re: PRELIMINARY FINAL - Storm vs Raiders

Do we as a club even remember how good we were playing with four big guys on the bench? 14. Kenny Bromwich 15. Tim Glasby 16. Christian Welch 21. Felise Kaufusi That is what I hope for... That the way I would go. Felise and Glasby could fill in for second row and Kenny can fill the utility spot pla...

Re: Rd 22 vs rabbitohs

Sometimes you have to give credit to the other team. The bunnies came to be physical and slow the game down (every time they got a penalty or restart they took an age to get going). We tend to struggle against physical teams, not that I am saying we are week, but teams who dominate tend to have bett...

Cronk Signs!!

https://www.melbournestorm.com.au/news/2016/08/05/cronk_commits_to_sto.html Pleased about this but not super excited, Cronk is a legend of a player and would rather have him in out team then anywhere else, but I am cautious about what will happen when the 'big three' end it all. I may upset a few h...

Re: Marika Korobiete

Bellamy made reference in a press conference to teams getting players from RU and not having their first year count towards the salary cap, unless I heard it wrong. who was this in reference to, I would guess either burgess or SBW???

Re: Did Vunivalu Do Enough?

I think he did enough but Young T has been our best back this season so far for me so its a big call. Thats why Bellamy get paid the big bucks!!!

Re: Round 6 - Storm vs Bulldogs

I think our attack is about 10% of clicking together, the last pass, timing off, knock on we could and should have had 3 or 4 more tries last night. People are bagging Hampton, who I thought defended well last night for a guy playing 'out of position', but he does seem to have lost a bit of pace, a ...

Re: Rd 3 vs Warriors

Thankfully we were tougher at the end then they were. Glad we were able to get back in front. Some observations regarding the referees apparently the crack down on correct play the balls has gone out the window. And it is ok to tackle high, both sides laid a few high tackles and got away with them ...
