Round 23 - Storm vs Eels

[Bullucked]

Start Kenny and let him absorb the early sting, bring Nelson on when some of the sting has gone. B Smith for Cheese is a no brainer (IMO) but who doesn't say Craig is stubborn?

[Mattpoet]

I'd like Brandon for Cheese, but I'll take Kamikamica or Vete instead, just please don't carry an outside back on the bench for no benefit.

[SunshineCoastStormer]

Deary me no Brandon again?

[yourhero]

Swap Blair out for Smith and replace one of the others for Vete on the bench and I’ll be happy

Ditto. Unfortunately we may not get either of recent selections are anything to go by

I don't know whether there's any stats on this but when Suli comes out of the line to put a shot on someone, how many times has that been successful compared to how many tries he's let in because of the hole in the line.

I'm sure the club would have a stat on it but nothing public. He had a good game defensively against the Warriors in NZ if I recall correctly but outside of that he's pretty swing and miss. JAC on the other hand makes the right decision more often than not.

Article from Bellamy today about Brandon being in the sore player group on his way back from injury still.

No way we run out 1-17 anyway.

Also, anyone thought we might have gone down the path of a huge training load, mini pre-season set up like we did in 2012 (I am pretty sure it was 2012), which then lightens off heading in to finals and seeing the spike in performance?

Apparently Hughes picked up some sort of injury against the Sharks and is in doubt for tomorrow

[blazza18]

Bellamy using injuries as a public excuse to drop players? Hmmm....

Paranoid much?

[blazza18]

Speculation not allowed now either?

[blazza18]

Hughes confirmed out. Vete out too. Looks like no real changes then.
