30 tries in 49 games. I don't see any other Storm player with a better ratio.

I don't get how O'Neil was left off the team :S unless the writer thought he was leaving or something.

Yea he just needs to learn how to defend. Rest of the team seems fine by me. I wonder how much we use Ryles next year. Would rather him have some kind of rotation and play no more than 3 games in a row. Make sure he is fit and ready come finals time. Also I would love a few more youngsters get some games.

Duffie is the best leaper in the game. He offers a genuine scoring chance on attacking bombs and is a speed machine. Only downside is his dummy half running and innefective tackling lol

Funny I have never seen his speed used. Never seen him beat a defence due to sheer speed.
Hasn't got the greatest accelleration, understandable due to his height but once he winds up his top end speed is impressive.

He needs to sort out his defence and stop running and stopping before he hits the line...

My first choice wingers would be Sisa and Mahe...then Duffie as cover...

I'd prefer Duffie over both of them. Better under the high ball and makes less errors, also better finisher. His defence will get better when his shoulders are better. I know who Bellamy would pick if all are fully fit.

Granted I frequent LU more than here buy Fonua on the centres ahead of O'Neill? Whoever wrote that hasbeen snorting fairy dust.

My backline for next year is Slater, Waqa, chambers, O'Neill, duffy, widdop, cronk. The make up of our forward pack will be very interesting indeed.
