Storm are really missing Norrie and Vave atm in my opinion

Those 2 guys would have been useful against the Worriers...although it is possible that Mr Bellmay may have tried a smaller and more mobile team with Quinn and Kostjaysn to run the Worriers off their feet even if the those big boys had been available.

Great side. As I said last time we played the Warriors a couple of weeks ago, Quinn and Kostjaysn will be used to target the Warriors fringe defence. They may have the biggest pack so muscling them up front isn't the answer. Go wide and hit the edges, keep their forwards constantly on the move and you will wear down their pack. They only know one way and that's straight up the middle.

We dont need to win the forwards battle. Ryles and Lowe just need to maintain a steady presence and keep the younger boys like Bromwich from being dominated and physically out muscled and we win.

Prett simple.

For me the players to watch this week are:

Quinn
Lowe
Ryles
Greenfield

If they do their role then we get the points.

I'm sure sika trained on monday, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if manu runs out on sunday.

I'd expect quinn or kostjayson to drop off the bench.

And vave isn't on the injured list on the melbourne site?

Need to stop Shaun Johnson running across the defence as we have been caught short on the fringes a few times lately

Todd Lowrie plays his 150th NRL game this week. Congratulations Todd. I hope he plays as well as he did in his 50th Storm game v the Broncos on Friday.

I don't want to hate on Quinn, but what does he actually do for us off the bench, even at wing he costs us games but off the bench. If we only wanna carry 3 forwards surely there is another utility with more value.
