If Robbo gets a run, this is going to be a huge game for the Storm faithful... as we get to farewell 2 of our favourite sons
Storming our way to glory!

First time since your last game of last year ... but found a very intirguing statsistic going all the way back to 2000 the only times you have lost under him have been against the Bulldogs (5 times) and Parramatta (twice)storm007 wrote:Hope Robbo gets a run if fully fit.
Also is this the first time we have had Simpkins as a ref??

Dump Kaufusi, play Robbo.
Paul Simpkins.....I think I've heard that name before. Isn't he the guy that we've never had while they've thrown us Clark and Archer (nothing against Archer) half a dozen times each this year.

GT has been one of the best and most consistent forwards all season!Anyway, I'm looking forward to this game because I'll be locked in my padded cell at Fox Studios again calling the game for the Fox Fan Booth again!
Glory, Glory to South Sydney!

lets hope he just plays crap
yep than u only got Prince/Hodgson/Whatuira/Farah/Richards/Galea/Lafranchi/O'Neil/Fulton/Harrison/Cashmere/Payton/Henington/Fithenry and halatau too worry about
one thing about the tigers is if one player doesnt play well theres always another 3 that will step up we have a new hero each week
lol never happen but i bet he will make some of the storm players look sillyHopefully Benji Marshall will do his little side-step thing and split in half.

As much as I hate to admit it, that's pretty much the difference between the Tigers and the Storm - both teams have relatively small forward packs and were tipped to struggle against the bigger teams, but the Tigers work together as a team and seem to all be enjoying themselves. Our Storm team varies in intensity from week to week, and some games just look like they are going through the motions without any teamwork or passion.
If we turn up lacking passion and intensity, then we are going to be rolled this week. Our defensive line needs to be at its best and needs to work as a cohesive unit to prevent the Tigers' line breaks that could tear the game wide open.
As for the halves, the worst thing anyone could do at this point is hype this game up to a halfback shoot-out - whenever Orford comes up against a quality halfback and there is any mention of the "battle of the halves", he always seems to lose out!
