NAS in for Welch preferably but the look on Bellamy's face when Nelson gave away a stupid penalty during the Knights game makes me wonder if he will be back (I hope I am wrong).

Kennar is also unlucky to miss out after a solid game last week.

How many stupid things can Koroibete do this week?

If he can the crap from his game I think he could be the best winger in the league.

[blazza18]

Nah, plenty better, even if he got the rubbish out of his game.

[Chip]

I think he's playing broken (haven't you noticed the heavy bandaging on his arm & something niggling in his foot/ leg too?). Has been for a while I reckon. Can't afford not having him there I suppose, hits up like a forward from the back(giving them a rest from time to time as the backs do), get him in space & he can finish - although I reckon his pace is a bit off on occasion due to niggling injuries.
I reckon too his brain snaps are frustration from under-performing & its a shame a late start wasn't risked so he could be 100% for the season.
And managing the cap means you can't debut every next best thing in one season!!!

I reckon Kennar will play centre inside Koroibete anyway

Interesting fact, nobody named in number 4 has started a game in the centres for the Storm this year:

Rd1 - Kennar named - Munster played
Rd2 - Munster named - Scott played
Rd3 - Scott named - Harris played
Rd4 - Harris named - Scott played
Rd5 - Hamtpon named - Harris played

[The Mauritian]

Nah, plenty better, even if he got the rubbish out of his game.

If our useless 5/8 could throw cut out passes, and our centers actually pass to him on the wing, he would be devastating. He never gets the ball on the wing. Maybe twice a game.

[blazza18]

He gets the ball no less than any of the other wingers in the comp.

We do give him and the outside backs little room to work with sometimes though. Gotta love our attacking structure.

I'm thinking Rd6 - Harris named - Kennar played (Welch to sit the game out)

[yourhero]

My brain tells me to tip the Dogs but (perhaps partly through blind faith), I expect our boys to come out firing this week. They have been embarrassed over the opening rounds and in desperate need to show some fight - if for nothing else, personal pride.

Also based on Cam's recent comments, I expect us to go back (partly) to what has worked for us in the past, with more structure and a direct style of play.

And if there is a Koroibete brain snap, I hope it is him dropping Josh Reynolds like a sack of spuds.

+1 (Although I think they're mates and go to the same judo classes for tripping!)

[Mattpoet]

I'd say Reynolds needs a good kick up the a *@!, but I worry it'd give him a concussion.
