Hampton should wear purple for the rest of his life... working at maccas... as grimace If by that you mean he played well above his weight on Monday, then I agree...! :P But seriously, I thought he did pretty well especially when he was defending in the middle against their bigger guys. He showed a...

- Bromwich brothers were AMAZING - Green is impressing me more and more each game - Hampton tried really hard and put in a lot of work and I think will only get better with more games under his belt and adjusting to the utility/impact position - Highly recommend watching the replay of the Loloheia t...

The tackle on Munster was probably legal but it didn`t look good at the time and it could have seriously injured Munster. Last season Manu Fattyguys tackle on Billy was legal and it destroyed Billy`s shoulder.(plus the other tackle on Billy later in the same game) can`t remember the other player. l...

Where would you see him playing? He had some amazing games when he was the Warriors fullback but I don't remember how he went playing in other positions.

I would be devastated if that was Billy's last game. He deserves a real tribute from the supporters and a proper lap of honour. To many melbourne people who don't follow league very closely, Billy IS Melbourne Storm. He's done so much for the club both on and off the field I feel we owe it to him to...

Good thing we have Matt White on our roster...

Young was a bit sketchy under the high ball. I think he fumbled one just as the siren went off. Can't remember if it was full or half time. I hope he fields a million at training this week. I thought Cronk running on the 4th tackle was a good show of confidence in Green's kicking ability even though...

The fact that Bellamy wastes half the bench is somewhat annoying when you look at how impactful they can be. Both NAS and even Hampton could have more impact in 12 minutes than what Welch ever will. I think this is a very good point. Either make proper use of the big forwards and get them punching ...

I'm not sure what Young offers the team. At least when Koro does something stupid he makes up for it in attack. I think he carries the ball well in attack and is pretty reliable to get back to his feet quickly for a speedy play of the ball. Not exactly qualities you would base a first-grade selecti...

Very exciting to see a nearly full strength line-up. Blair is missing but for the sake of Vic RL I hope Young performs really well and manages to keep his spot for as long as he can.

Maybe Hampton to FB if Billy pulls up less than perfect after the warm-ups? Otherwise I don't think we'd need him on the bench. I don't mind seeing Young back in the starting lineup. I know his defence was suspect but he always brought a bit of fire with his ball carries. Our second row rotation loo...

Jokes aside, I'm sure CB would have served them an earful. Best to get any rust out of the way before the season begins.

Bellyache is just one-upping Dessie and wants to be sure we're flying lower under the radar than the doggies (you know, for when the real games begin)!

I don't think we need a utility player with Tohu in the starting side. I'd rather have another big fella coming off the bench to punch holes through the middle. We've got some spark in our backs with Billy, Koro, Munster and Chambers who are more than capable of taking advantage of any tired opposit...

Thanks for the update. I missed the nines completely so it's good to hear the feedback and thoughts on here.
