Re: Official thread and signing news
I call complete BS … I read a very good article by Brent Read ( who is one of the few journos who give us a fair go ) , who did indeed call BS on it. He reckons it was a plant by another club who was trying to elicit a stern denial by the Storm which in turn would unsettle Sua ! Pleasingly he also ...

Re: Queensland Cup
Jonah very cool under pressure. 5 from 5 and directed them well.
Great for Ryley Jacks and Corey Thompson- two whole-hearted veterans of the game.
Great also for the Storm players , who get to play in Sydney in 2 weeks.

Re: Round 27 - Rest and Blood players
Yes, we are so lucky as fans to have a team that represents us so well each week and each season. This final round has fallen well for us, but due primarily to the reserve players stepping up superbly .Unlike last season when we limped into the finals, we can head back to Brisbane with key players r...

Re: Round 27 - Rest and Blood players
Wonder why we even bothered to name Katoa? Not sure if sitting him was the original plan since we only announced two debuts originally? Anyway, good to see another younger guy given a shot. Not sure if anyone outside of Sua has really earnt it but I am excited nonetheless. Craig at the post match p...

Re: R24 Sun - Melbourne v Canberra @ AAMI
Just going off point a bit. I am back watching NRL 360. It is a FAR better show than it used to be. Braith Anasta ( Munster’s manager ) gives us a fair go. That terrible Paul Kent has been banished as co-host due to his personal issues, replaced by Gorden Tallis who again is fair to us ; and another...

Re: R24 Sun - Melbourne v Canberra @ AAMI
Was Tui hurt? He didn't come back after his first stint I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully it just reflected that they wanted to give Tepai and Bronson bigger minutes. I hope Will Warbrick is ok for next week. Craig said Paps unlikely next week , so we need Will to wing and Reimis to centre .

Re: Papi is back!
Looking at the QRL website, I see that Paps played the full 80 today, made 5 conversions and a penalty goal AND scored a try in the last minute ! I expect that will give him huge confidence .

Re: Vegas
I see the Roosters are one of the teams. How do you think the Cheese will go over there ? I think he might be MVP at the after-parties !!

Re: Papi is back!
Fantastic news. Just in case Nick Meaney or his friends read this forum, I think it is worth saying that he has been a wonderful acquisition to the Storm. He came as an outside back , at what I assume is a relatively modest salary and has had to cover in the halves and at fullback , as well as takin...

Re: Round 22 vs Eels
With Young presumably out with a hammy next week, instead of bringing Justin Olam back after one week, what about Tom Eisenhuth at left centre, Ellie Katoa back into the starting line up in the second row ? In Olam’s current form I would be worried that Stephen Crichton would carve him up. Tom will ...

Re: Newcastle Knights vs Melbourne Storm at McDonald Jones Stadium, 5.30pm AEST
Katoa said in his interview this week that he has started training again, but has to build up his fitness so is 2-3 weeks away from playing. Presumably with the sensitivity of the eye injury he had to remain quite still, so has lost his fitness edge. Given Craig likes his second rowers to play the f...
