Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
I thought the club would plead guilty but contest the grading. I assume there is a reason they didn’t go down that path.

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
It is very rough for Jahrome to cop a charge because the ref decided to stand in the middle of the play. What is Hughes supposed to do? Let him score untouched and rely on the bunker calling it back? The quality of the bunker calls makes that option not a great one. Not even sure Jahrome knew it was...

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
The entire point of modern backline plays is to trap our FB close to the ruck on one side of the field, then inject your own fullback on the opposite side to create the overlap. Bellamy, from day dot has had the defensive philosophy to keep the middle tight and if the opposing backline play is good ...

Reimis a poor defender? That’ll do me

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
Yep, I was very critical of Loiero last year and the lack of attacking option he presented on an edge. Lock is definitely more suited to his game.
Loiero 155m
Katoa 100m
No other Storm forward made over 90m. That’s (still) a problem…

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
Thought Reimis was a bit ... Meh... Tonight but maybe that's due to how electrifying Paps was all night and Meany was in the first half. Reimis needs to help out with a few more tough carries, but once again he made some excellent 1-1 tackles at crucial times. He also did very well in that try to g...

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
We were physically dominated for probably 60 minutes. Definitely need more from our forwards.
Welch getting HIA didn’t help, but we were once again looking for the cheap/easy option far too often, rather than knuckling down and fighting out of it.

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
Much like the game against the Sharks a few years ago, that second half was putrid and I was sure we were done. After the excellent defensive effort of last week, I was disappointed to find myself thinking this is going to be another one of those years. Perhaps premature, but it crossed my mind. Lov...

Re: Official thread and signing news
“Highly paid” sounds similar to when they say “star player”. Literally could be anyone.

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park
Unrelated to our centres…
One other thing that stood out to me in the replay - McDonald finds his front better than any of our forwards. Almost always. Even when two and three defenders are on him. He will be great for us this year.

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park
In terms of offence… Meaney 40th Minute - Meaney gets over but can’t get the ball down in time. Should have. 45th Minute - Meaney coughs it up 10m out from our try line. Lucky to not concede points from the ensuing set. Reimis 14th Minute - Reimis under pressure, quick pass the Coates who had to rea...

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park
In terms of defence… Meaney 12th Minute - Meaney comes in when he doesn’t need to and May breaks the line, running 30m. 60th Minute - Taylan May shrugs off Meaney. Cover defence tackles May. 71st Minute - Panthers overlap and Taylan May looks likely to score but trips over his own feet. For some rea...

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park
Watched the replay. Specifically wanted to take another look at our centres. I was skeptical of Meaney playing there this year and Reimis doesn’t get much love from Storm fans (I rate him though). Overall, I think both guys did an excellent job. Izack Tago and Taylan May look to be the most damaging...
