Re: Round 23 - Raiders vs Storm

Terrible performance. I can't understand how Will Chambers has maintained a spot in first-grade. He's been atrocious. This felt a lot like the Bulldogs loss. The team had enough ball to win it but did nothing with possession but cough it up or make poor last-tackle options. That being said I can't r...

Re: Benji Marshal

I'd prefer to see someone younger who's played five-eighth through the grades.

Wouldn't mind the club looking at Ryan Matterson who's fallen out of favour at the Roosters.

Re: Round 13 - Melbourne Storm vs. Penrith Panthers

Jesse Bromwich is utterly ridiculous. He's already run for 105 metres, made 19 tackles, has a line break and a try.

Think it's frustrating to watch? Try being the one putting together a highlights package on it.

Re: Questions

I have a couple of questions and if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Are Melbourne Storm still sending out emails to their members, as I have not received one since January? Does our membership get us into the double header game in Brisbane in May or do we have to buy tickets? Has a...

Re: The Play Book

Kudos to you for starting an interesting discussion. Here's some set plays I've got off the top of my head. 1. Get Cronk on the right of the play the ball with Jesse Bromwich on the left. Instead of the dummy-half feeding Cronk the ball it goes left to Bromwich who feeds it inside to Hinchcliffe run...

Re: Round 24: Storm vs Knights

Honestly, excuse my language but what the *lima lima lima duck* was that?

16 missed tackles?

Absolutely disgusting. Why the *lima lima lima duck* does this side constantly drop off against the worst opponents?

It utterly confounds me. It has to be down to their attitude.

Slater to sign new deal, play in Nines next year

http://m.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/b ... 7490413493

To sum it up: Slater will sign on until the end of 2017 and use the Nines to get back to full health.

Re: 2014 Official thread and signing news

Feleti Mateo is going to be on the market apparently.

Would love to see him at the Storm if he was willing to come on a reduced contract.

Re: McKinnon could Sue

People need to realise no one is against Smith after what happened on 60 Minutes. That includes people in NSW. In fact, if anything people have shown support for him - not just his family. NSW players apparently texted him before the game telling him they respected him. It's 60 Minutes who are under...

Re: Rd 16 vs Bulldogs

Gutless, toothless effort.

No one coming off the line defensively, halves employing a poor kicking game, lazy work getting back onside to re-start the attack.

Dreadful.

Re: Round 5 v NZ Warriors

One of the things I really enjoyed was late in the second-half when the Storm were about 20 metres out on the attack. Smith was at dummy half with Cronk on his right barking orders to the backs but instead the ball went to the left for Green to set something up. It really showed he's getting a good ...

Re: Rd 4 @ North Queensland.

I don't think I've ever been more infuriated watching a game of football. That was just so gutless. The best sides put team's away - that penalty on their last set. That was the moment you knew the Storm had lost their grip on the contest. Where was the composure? Dreadful stuff. That's two games on...
