Round 9 - Storm vs Eels - MAGIC ROUND

[yourhero]

Saturday 11th May 2019
Kick-off 7:35pm
Suncorp Stadium

Teams name at 4pm today. We'll see if Bellamy makes any changes of the back of another poor performance. An injection of enthusiasm is definitely needed.

Same squad as last week. Like I said after his post game rant. I'll need to see it before I believe in regards to him actually dropping players.

[Storm Spirit]

at least its a relatively full strength Eels team.

I reckon some of the battle for this Storm team is the mental side of things when they let their guard down against weakened opposition.

[Insomniac]

Well, Bellamy did say that he'd be tapping a few blokes on the shoulder this week to let them know they'll need to improve, he never said he'd actually be dropping anyone this week.

[Mattpoet]

Good start, keep it going now.

[Scooter]

How good is this? Hope Jahrome is alright. Should have been a send off not a sin bin.

What about Papenhuyzen since he has been on? Wow.

[Scooter]

Scott injured too unfortunately.

Petition to move all our games to Suncorp? We play such a great brand of footy on this field.

Blazza18 was thinking a similar thing (not about moving all our games to Suncorp but how well we play there).

The only bad result I can remember in recent years is when we let a big lead slip to lose late v the Titans.

[blazza18]

I did not know Papenhuyzen was that quick. Hell of a performance from him.

[Mattpoet]

Is he as quick as Addo-Carr? Anyone know?

Greetings all from Croatia! My wife and I are on a holiday to catch up with her relatives in this part of the world. We were wandering around the streets of Dubrovnik today whilst I kept an eye on the Storm scores on my phone. She spotted an Irish pub and suggested we have some lunch. It was not very Irish, but they were showing the Storm game live !! When we arrived the Storm led 18-6. The next 40 minutes of League were the Storm at their brilliant best. It was amazing to watch.

So sad to see Curtis go down. Hopefully he can return at the back end of the season. Presumably Marion Seve gets the spot, or maybe the new lad they just signed ?

Craig said Jahrome will miss this week with the short turnaround , but of course Ryan P is a ready made replacement .

[Lucas]

Cannot wait to see what Paps can produce over 80 minutes. Assume he'll definitely take the 1 jersey next week, with Seve returning to centre.

They might even give Grant a crack from the bench.
