Storm vs Broncos

[Mattpoet]

Assuming the big 3 get through origin unscathed and considering Hoffy and Proctor are out injured, here is my predicted team for Friday:

1.Slater
2.Duffie
3.Nielsen
4.Chambers
5.O'Niell
6.Widdop
7.Cronk
8.J.Bromwich
9.Smith (c)
10.Norrie
11.Hinchcliffe
12.Kostjasyn
13.Lowrie
14.K.Bromwich
15.Quinn
16.Vave
17.Ryles

I think we need more size in the back row but, this is what I predict Bellamy will go with.

[mattstormy]

Hinchy's OK in the back row, but Rory joining him there must be some sort of joke . Why not put Kenny Bromwich in there or at a last resort Quinny (who's been doing well as a utility forward), but not Rory who is one of (if not) the smallest player on the field.

[blazza18]

I think we need to blood some of our youngsters. Our forward pack needs more go forward. Last week it was reported one of them will make their debut (forgot the name ).

[Lucas]

Garbutt and/or Greenfield surely into that side.

[Mattpoet]

Just saying what i think will happen, would like to see kenny get a go personally

[storming]

what i would like to see

1.Slater
2.Duffie
3.Nielsen
4.Chambers
5.O'Niell
6.Widdop
7.Cronk
8.J.Bromwich
9.Smith (c)
10.Ryles
11.Lowrie
12.K.Bromwich
13.Hinchcliffe
14.Kostjasyn
15.Garbutt - has been killing it in qld cup
16.Vave
17.Norrie

I think Kenny will get a game probably from the bench and I would love Garbutt or Greenfield to also get a game. Not sure if Mitch or Michael will get picked though.

Milestones this week:
Will Chambers plays his 50th NRL game (and 50th game for the Storm)
Todd Lowrie plays his 50th game for the Storm

Congratulations to Will and Todd.

[storm boy !]

i dont know why we need hinchy kostjayson and quinn all in the same team. Loosing alot of size

In the photos that are on the storm site from training yesterday i noticed that KP and vave were not in any of the pictures so doubt they'll be playing..
Also kenny garbutt and greenfield were all training with the squad so maybe garbutt or greenfield will get a go for the other fowrad on th bench instead of lowe this week hmm.

Agree with you storm boy. hinchy imo is one of the 1st pick each week besides the usual suspects, and I wouldn't name Quinn in the team at all I think his days are done and Kostjayson is a solid back up that shouldn't be in the first 17. And I'm not surprised about Brisbane's team at all, still looks very strong.

Melbourne Storm just tweeted - Couple of potential debuts this Friday night against the Brisbane Broncos, teams about to be announced, stay tuned.

Norrie in the backrow? i guess bellamy knows we need more size in the backrow so he put norrie there.

Im suprised garbutt isnt there, thought he'd be ahead of lowe.

[Bourbon Rat]

18.kelly
19.m.blair
20.k.bromwich

Origin cover ?

And I'm guessing Greenfield this week - Garbutt next week ?

Throwing in at the deep end one at a time right.

[blazza18]

12-15 are pretty much the same player. And Norrie to 2nd row. Hope Bellyache knows what he is doing this week.

[Mattpoet]

Would think Jesse Bromwich would be more likely to play wide than Norrie - a bit more mobile.
