Finals Week 1
All 5 tries came down the Hoffman/Roberts/Fonua corridor, has been a major concern for a long time and it has finally cost us in a big game, with Hoffman and Roberts leaving we definatly need to rebuild that side for 2015, Hopefully Green & Harris can tighten us right up and slowly push Fonua to the backrow where he belongs.

Can't argue with any of that.

Absolutely, he used to be a link man, he either tapped on a quick pass or took the line on directly, now he tends to drift across holding the ball up for way too long then forcing a pass that isnt on, he needs to get back to what he does best, he is not a 5/8.nacho wrote:Slater with some brain farts today throwing a few useless passes.

No matter how hard people want him to be, O'Neill is not a centre. He also hasn't lived up to his potential so I don't agree with him just being put in the team round 1. Kenner, Mann, Munster and Hunt will all push for outside back spots. Mann and Munster should both be in the team no matter what. They need grooming in FG. Mahe is an average first grader, moving him to the bench wont improve us. Hinchy starting again...he's better used off the bench. We also have some younger forwards coming up from the 20s to keep the forward pack on it's heels.tugga wrote:Argue it then.blazza18 wrote:Well....One probably could.tugga wrote:Can't argue with any of that.

I was talking for myself.
After failing the last 2 seasons it would be nice to see Bellamy think outside the box with his selections.

Out enthused. Rugby League is a simple game. Whoever turns up ready to smash usually does.
Can't see a heap of improvement next year. Mclean ran hard today & will be more consistent next year. O'neill & Hampton need to lift their games. Munster & Mann will get a few games but still developing. Garbutt & Moors should have had more shots over the past two years. Bellamy really wasted them. Hate to say it but Bellamy needs to work on his game too. See you guys next year.

Storm need to rethink and regroup etc agree. But
I really believe the coach and main group of players have relaxed alot after winning our last grand final.
Our coach used to explode if we put in a performance like that at half time. I mean these guys have been at the top for so long. And with us being one of the only teams under the cap makes it tough.
I love my Melbourn storm no matter what and all good runs come to an end. But I have some great memories of the past 9 years from these guys. Against all odds we dominated.
Have a great break to all my fellow storm army of supporters
I will continue to enjoy reading all the posts in the
Off season.
Take care

These two points are spot on. We should have chalked these lessons up in 2013 but persisted this year.blazza18 wrote:No matter how hard people want him to be, O'Neill is not a centre.

Wasn't able to watch the game, looks like I saved myself from a bit of embarrassment. I've been pretty positive this whole season but gee it would have been hard for even me to spin something good from a 24-0 first half. Sums up our season I suppose. When we've been presented with golden opportunities we haven't taken them.
Should have a good representation in the 4 Nations teams so I guess that is something to look forward to. Good luck to all of the players who played their last game for us today. Hope they move on to bigger and better things with their new clubs.
