Just awesome news. Congrats Hinchy... You will struggle to find another Storm player in history that gives more in every game.

Looking forward to seeing Ben debut this week.

Glad he is doing it with Finchy to. Cronk would over-call him too much whereas I reckon Brett will let him get a bit more ball.

Excited to see Hampton get a run at 6 - give us a look at what our 5/8 for next year does in the top side.

I think Fonua might get a run at some stage in the second row. With his size and playing style, this is where he will be in the next couple of years anyway so might be an option, whilst providing coverage for the outside backs if something was to happen to the halves and Widdop is moved back up
Its mildly annoying to me the cs have been playing him as a winger and center since he finished playing SG Ball.

It was obvious to me where his future was and when they do move him it will take another 6 months for him to get comfortable in the role. So thats basically 2 and a half years of development wasted.

We are $3.30 outsiders in this one... Might be my purple goggles blinding me with bias, but that looks like exceptional value.

I know we have a horrible record when missing our Origin boys - Sterlo highlighted it at 30-odd percent - but for some reason I'm feeling good about this game.

Strangely I am too :lol:

I'm confident in having 2 proper halves controlling things that we'll be able to post enough points to win.

We have options within the team if things aren't working too, I'm guessing that's the reason for Mahe's selection. We can move Hampton or one of the wingers to fullback and Fonua into the outside backs with either Widdop or Blair (although hopefully not as he's a centre not a 5/8) going into the halves and we can put either hinchy or griffin at hooker. I like the versatile look we have.

Mattpoet according to team named earlier in the week and changes noted on Twitter: Sa'u, Setu, K Bromwich, Glasby and Fonua are all playing for Easts Tigers. Not sure who played for Sharks.
