Young has been good for us every chance he's got. Hope that continues into this round. Keen to see if Stimson takes the opportunity given and makes it hard for Hoffy to come back.

Wonder how much the Bellamy talk about being made a lucrative offer to go to Brisbane will affect the team this week?

It could do anything. Tbh, we have looked rattled and not focused for most of the season. I wonder if Bellamy's decision or lack of decision has affected us all year.

This is the least disciplined I have ever seen the Melbourne Storm.

This must be one of the least anticipated grand final rematches in NRL history... Both clubs are uninspiring and if I was a neutral supporter I don't think I'd bother watching this game.

Sometimes I wonder if last year was just a dream sequence.

You truly are a flog.

If this bloke isn't getting banned, can we bring back the ignore function we used to have?

I assume Cherry Poppins was banned so this was his new idea...

I am Cameron. I have only ever been Cameron.I am not Cherry Poppins. I come here to talk footy and my No 1 love which is Melbourne Storm.

I am just talking about the difference between this season and last.

Last season, we cruised through games and very rarely made a handling error. Everyone seemed focused on success.

Last week, we hardly finished a complete set; wanted to fight and there seems to be a million things that pop up to take our focus off playing whether it be contracts; injuries or suspensions.

Slater and Welch drop out of the squad. Slater with a hammy.

Probably not an entirely bad thing. Looking forward to Hughes getting another shot. I assume he will slot straight in at 1 and they won’t do a last minute tinker with the halves.

Doubt it's been affecting him that much as it was only a week and a bit ago but his son broke his leg so maybe he has been a little distracted but I think it's just a case of 2nd yr syndrome in his third yr
