Umm, not heard of a bloke called Munster?mattstormy wrote:

1. Matt Duffie (had no other options really since we’ve only had two fullbacks)
I guess he only played one and a half seasons there...
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately
For value to the club, Chris Walker and Willie Leyshon.Mattpoet wrote:You could do worse than Tomane, Moala and Evans surely.
Clifford Manua, Willie Isa and Joel Romelo all spring to mind.

Players who missed out in the B team were:
Aaron Moule (had to pick Quinny somewhere. Moule was a brilliant attacking player but that's about it. Quinny knew how to lay a tackle though and could score a try too).
Glen Turner (almost made a bench spot as a utility but Hampton was a better choice)
Tony Martin (good player, but just couldn't fit him in the team. The Fox and Suli were better options)
Blake Green (you can't say he doesn't deserve a spot, just Widdop was around longer and won a premiership in the #6)
Antonio Kaufusi (had potential for a spot on the bench, but was just too injury prone)
Matt Rua (just couldn't fit him in)
Kirk Reynoldson (Jeremy Smith was a better option on the bench)

I think starting 13 we should be on the money. Even in here where everyone has different opinions/views we are all pretty much in alignment. Lock may be contentious. Maybe Lazarus still jags a starting prop jersey due to helping us get on the map. Bench will be the really interesting area.

There are a few who will get in based on the people who vote and being favourites. You have longevity vrs short term success, you have got those who have overachieved against those who are superstars of the game that only played one or two seasons with the Storm. It is a fun game. But most of all; it is about us. For a Club born of perversity, in a foresight town, with all the hate from the Northern; yet we have prospered and grown and become the best team of our generation. It is a celebration of us. It is a celebration of what make the Melbourne Storm "special". And not Shane Watson special; we mean Shane Warne special. For all you Ashesloving cricketing buffs.
