STOP SALLY STOP.

Always with the jinxing negative talk.

Believe. We are a great Club
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time

I feel privileged to have grown up watching Billy play. He's the player that first consolidated my passion for the Storm as a child, and I can only imagine that this was because of the sheer excitement that would come when he touched the ball. Exceptionally proud of what he has achieved.

Not being negative or wasn't trying to be just pointing out that we lost in his 200th (I think) his 250th and his 300th :cry:

Smith and Croft named for QRL but not Tui and Blair. Might indicate the final 19

I saw that Lucas... but surely not ! Even without Cam's issues, Brandon just HAS to be in the 19..and in the 17. If he does not get a game for the Storm on Sunday, this forum will explode.

Blair should be nowhere near the side after his effort last week against the Rabbits

Our last few games against the drug cheats;

Round 4 2018 - Sharks win 14-4 (Sharks Home)
Round 14 2017 - Storm win 18-13 (Sharks Home)
Round 6 2017 - Sharks win 11-2 (Storm Home)
GF 2016 - Sharks win 14-12 (Neutral)
Round 26 2016 - Storm win 26-6 (Storm home)
Round 4 2016 - Sharks win 14-6 (Sharks home)

We are only 2 from 6 in recent meetings and have really struggled to score points. Hopefully we can turn that around on Sunday.

Our blokes have not been interested in the result the last few times we've played each other.

That was the least 'neutral' game I've ever been to!

Billy announced his retirement, but this is not a milestone game of any sort... his last game is the milestone (of sorts), we'll be out to make amends for last week. Big game needed, and a rare day game in Melbourne - get around it!

I never thought I'd thank the Roosters but they've done us a big favour tonight. Not only did they beat the Rabbits they only did so by a small margin. If we do the job on the Sharks on Sunday we'll get back to the penthouse and put our destiny back in our hands

Smith and Croft no longer in the QRL teams. Could be Slater out, Hughes to fullback and Croft to 7 with Smith on the bench
