We're not going to win a competition with Duffie & Quinn as our two wingers. The absence of Will Chambers is hurting us more than I initally thought it would. He was key to our great first half of the season, the media never think to mention that he's missing for us, do they.

As I have ALWAYS SAID.....after smith, slater and cronk....chambers is our most important player IMHO

Sorry, I meant moving Widdop back into the front-line. I guess with Sisa Waqa on the extended bench there, it could mean their will be some late positional changes.

The updated email from Storm doesn't have Waqa on the extended bench but at least one other site I've seen has so who knows what's true. You'd like to think the Storm's release is but not after the first team they sent out....

Gotta say I'm a little nervous about this one - but I'm sure Craig will have them fired up

Mr B likes last minute changes . I think Sisa will start on wing for Duffy maybe and JLowe for Vave but really the whole team needed a kick up the arse.

Chill out people, one bad loss dose not brake a season. I will only worry when we have had two or three with a group of players that have trained together eg the complete team with our spine all back we have not had CS, CC or BS training with the boys properly for six plus weeks add the loss of Will and I am surprised we did not have a second bad loss during this time. It must be remember its the same team that was three games ahead before orgin and with Will and Billys problems well.
The boys that are left had to step up a long way to make up those losses and they did in the begining and you can see its hard on the younger players to maintain that but I am confident that given that our spine will soon be training with the boys and hopefuly Will gets back say about round 23 we will look much better. Just having the likes of Billy, Cam and Coops training full time will give the team a lift. We realy only just lost a few of those games with bad prep. We will be Ok i think come Sep and that when it will count north of the border realy care who wins the MP only the comp and thats what I want this year. In the Storm Spirit I trust.

I've heard a rumour that Batman will be a last minute inclusion in the starting side.

I wonder what position he'll be playing.

Slater & Chambers were both training with the team today - I'm starting too hear that Will may be back this season.

^^^^^ Please, Please Please

I always figure that whatever happens whoever gets a crack will give it their best shot but I must admit I`ll be a lot happier when the team starts to regain the format it did in the first few rounds. I will be really happy to get Bill and Chambers back into the squad
