Storm line-up named by the NRL...

Melbourne Storm: 1.Curtis Scott, 2.Young Tonumaipea, 3.Richie Kennar, 4.Cameron Munster, 5.Marika Koriobete, 6.Blake Green (c), 7.Brodie Croft, 8.Nelson Asofa-Solomona, 9.Ben Hampton, 10.Mark Nicholls, 11.Kenny Bromwich, 12.Tohu Harris, 13.Dale Funicane, 14.Nafe Seluini, 15.Jeremy Hawkins, 16.Dean Britt, 17.Joe Stimson, 18.Tony Tumusa.

There was so much hype that Slater would be playing. He was quite involved in the promoting and spoke about playing numerous times. Has anyone from the club mentioned the exclusion?

Apparently he is still a couple of weeks away from playing due to his shoulder

Can't play if you still injured

He is still going to the 9s though as a assistant

Fair enough. I wasn't aware that the shoulder was still an issue... 8 months since going under the knife. Extraordinarily long recovery.

Few new names there. I wonder which ones (if any) will be making their storm debuts in first grade this year.

Blake Green has been superb in the two games so far. Controlled the game really well for us.

It's actually nice to see us have an actual game plan this year. Also good to see our young kids actually do something.

Missed the first game but caught the second. Seems like we turned up this year to win.

That Roosters game was an abomination. I think we'll bow out in the quarters.

Hopefully nothing serious for Munster. Looked nasty.

The NRL said the play of the ball would be the area they will be policing hard this season. I knew we would be the first team to be penalized for it.
But it was a bad play of the ball

Whoops.

I've not watched it but apparently the refs doing everything to make sure the Warriors are in the grand final to ensure a full stadium.

Did anyone else notice that at least twice, they didn't show the Storm line up before a game but did show the other team? What was up with that?
