Round 1 Storm vs Dragons

[sallymay]

Sal/anyone else getting along to training this week?

I tried but couldnt

[sallymay]

both easts and falcons are playing sunday so it will be easy to find out who is playing in the nrl by who does and doesn't play qcup

[Mattpoet]

You can pretty much guarantee extra players will be held out then.

Not enough size on the bench for me. Really expected NAS in the side and dissapointed neither he or Kaufusi aren't in it.

[steaming stormer]

i think Hampton is only there as cover for Billy. Welch has the potential to be a future captain. NAS, wonder if the talk of him going back to Union is having any impact?

[blazza18]

What talk?

I fully expect him to play instead of Hampton.

[blazza18]

Or not. NAS, Kennar and Hampton playing Q cup.

[yourhero]

So with the Falcons line up, I would assume Munster is going to play (replacing Kennar in the centres) and our bench would be;

Kenny Bromwich
Tim Glasby
Christian Welch
Felise Kaufusi

[stormfan2010]

Really hope Munster and Bill play Monday , really hope NAS gets in the side soon as he adds mongrel and grunt !

[Mattpoet]

So it looks like we'll run out:

1.Slater
2.Young T
3.Chambers
20.Hawkins/Munster
5.MK5
6.Green
7.Cronk
8.J-Brom
9.Smith (c)
10.McLean
11.Proctor
12.Harris
13.Finucane
14.K-Brom
15.Glasby
17.Welch
18.Kaufusi

[blazza18]

Only round 1, both young players etc. But I really can't believe NAS and Scott aren't in the team.

[Insomniac]

NAS was a bit rusty today for the Falcons, so maybe Bellamy knew he needed a week (or so) in reserves. Scott looked good though...

[LESStar58]

Munster coming back would be a massive boost! Hope it is true+

[Danger D]

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.

[LESStar58]

I'd like to see Melbourne get cap exemptions for bringing local juniors in so we can keep the likes of Fonua et al.
