Re: Should the Storm Recruit a Few Parramatta Rejects?

I honestly think Ben Roberts is the worst first grade player in the NRL!!!!
My pick would be Ben Smith, think he could be good given the right direction from Bellyache

Re: R10 - Melbourne vs Manly Mon 20/05 7:00pm @ AAMI Park

I don't think Ryles had a bad game last night, yeah he made the mistake near the end but had a couple of good runs prior to that. Agree with the majority on here re: Fonua switch with O'neil. after that performance Bobby Blair cannot be dropped so a bit of a switch in the backs to bring Chambers bac...

Re: Widdop or Finchy?? Something Needs To Be Done at 5/8th

Neilson was dropped to NSW cup last year after 2 or 3 below par performances and came back better and more focused. Same could happen with Gareth.

Re: Widdop or Finchy?? Something Needs To Be Done at 5/8th

Well heres my 2 cents. I think Widdop should get a couple of weeks in NSW cup, bring in Finchy and give him a couple of weeks, If finchy is not up to it bring back a refreshed and hopfully rejuvinated Widdop. I think from what players have said they enjoyed playing with Finch a couple of years ago s...

Re: Round 7 - ANZAC Day Clash Storm vs Warriors - 25/04 @ 7:

Why move the best hooker in the world to lock??? Slater plays like a 5/8 when were attacking but would he be moved if Widdop was injured?? Slade is a Hinchcliff clone. Tough running, hard tackling workhorse and would fit straight in. I don't think Cam would be running the ball out from our own 20m f...

Re: Widdop signs with Dragons.

While i think Hodkinson would go well under Bellyache and besides Coops i'd much rather look to within the club and give one of the young blokes a start and use the money saved on Widdop to strengthen elsewhere. If McGahan/Hampton are capable of filling the breach as we all think is possible, it co...

Some fair, some not so. Exactly Davey. I was a big fan of Quinny, i don't think anybody could doubt his effort whilst ...

Re: Round 1 vs St George/Illawarra Dragons

Whatever the length of Jessie's contract it need extending now! I believe he is / will be the most complete front rower in the comp. Has a good work rate, makes dents in the defensive line, great footwork, off load and a fair turn of pace. Also watch the game live and a couple of times in replay and...
