intersting that hes named inglis.

i wonder who will make way and who will stay?

[steaming stormer]

no changes... but I guess with a Monday night game, that's not a real surprise to see the same side named

[Play the ball]

Bellamy hinted last night post match that there would be changes to the side and not just the obvious ones due to injury.

[Bourbon Rat]

Not sure if he meant attitude , positional or personnel changes but another dis-jointed & half arsed performance like Monday nights would see us in free fall on the ladder.

I wonder if the 14 thousand figure will put an end to the "Monday is a great night for RL in Melbourne" myth 

[steaming stormer]

why would 14k do that?  It's higher than our average crowd over the last few years...
And there's also a Monday game every week, so we have to expect one occasionally

[Surandy]

And 14k is a good crowd when you compare it to other Monday night crowds.

[CooperCronk]

And 14k is a good crowd when you compare it to other Monday night crowds.

Very good crowd and personally I love MNF...we had about 4 or 5 last year...of course not all at home.

[storm77]

Radical idea,

Move GI to lock.

Seriously he is sleepwalking out there and right now we don't really have a true starting 13.

Sure Hinchcliffe tackles and Lowrie..... well what does he do again.

The fact is it would force GI to up his involvement in the game and would also make us more dangerous offensively.

He could float around and open up our offense.

This also opens up a spot for Chase once he is ready to return.

[Michael :P]

No

How bout the the team just get him the damn lima lima lima duck ball in the spots he excels.

It happend once on Monday and Cooper nearly scored.



PS. I do see him as a 2nd rower in the last few years of his career

[Play the ball]

The word is , bellamy is very dissapointed in lima's work rate and efforts,

and he could be the shock axeing  to make way for White if he  is declared fit.

Alarm bells ring at Melbourne Storm as 2010 draws parallels with 2009
Russell Gould From: Herald Sun April 22, 2010 12:00AM

THE smell of something familiar is coming out of Melbourne Storm, and even the players feel it.

The premier's season is tracking in an eerily similar fashion to the start of last year, right down to the need for some aggression.............
...........................


Bellamy did exactly that after Monday's match and in several one-on-one chats with players during and after yesterday's session.

Young centres Willie Isa and Matt Duffie, who could fill the spots of injured pair Greg Inglis and Dane Nielsen, received individual attention.

Belllamy had hinted at several personnel changes for Sunday's game and there was an air of tension around the team yesterday.

But White said harsh words from the boss were part of the daily business.

"Whatever has happened and is said won't affect them as much as their opinion of themselves does," he said.

And skipper Cameron Smith said the recipe for success was simple.

"You need your whole team playing well to beat anyone these days," Smith said.

"We didn't play as a team (against Manly) and there are a couple of areas we need to address quickly."

Hopefully he goes with Duffie on the wing, he played against Tupou last year and put 4 tries on him. And would give him confidence to look up and see some-one he dominated in NYC

[I love Cooper]

Anyone still interested in this game...

I hear Duffie is debuting, good luck to him. Brilliant player for the 20's last year. Whitey may be back too.

I can't wait for this game, especially cause it's against the Warriors and more especially on ANZAC Day. Go Storm!

[1999]

im assuming GI is out then? I hear he trained strongly today, would love to see a fired up GI tommorow but equally it will be good to see how duffman goes in 1st grade

[I love Cooper]

Or maybe Nielsen, dislocated finger or something like that in Mondays game.
