As a one-off I don't mind Romelo at five eight. Effective tackler and punches above his weight. Nice short kicking game and can play off-the-cuff type footy.
Don't know what's happening with Garbutt but very dissapointing he's not a regular by now.

Really hope we can win this one and I know we can if our defense holds up we have the points.

Yep Romelo is a pocket battleship...

there's a reason the Club got him and I suppose this it...to cover injuries and suspensions.

I have come to the conclusion that Craig doesn't think Mitch Garbutt works hard enough on or off the field...either with or without the ball.

that is my logical deduction after eliminating every other possibility known to man...

I think Bellamy just doesn't like Garbutt's face. That is my logical deduction after eliminating every other possibility known to man...

It can't be laziness on the field. It just can't.

I suppose a life ban, 6 months in prison and a $7 million dollar fine would be "about fair" to those knuckledraggers ::)

You couldn't find a worse forum for balanced, rational RL discussion.

There is NOTHING for Cammy to be suspended for. He NEVER elbowed ballin in the face and video proves it beyond doubt he was only trying to get ballin to release his jersey.

Those merkins are always sooking about something to do with the Storm. I used to get pissed off big time but now i just find it funny that we get under their skin so much.

This will be my first Storm game I've been too since early 2012. Looking forward to seeing some of the young fellas in the NYC team

I hope you are right. We haven't played great all year. When we have won,the margins have been;

1, 1, 8, 4, 3 - Avg Margin - 3.4

I have no fingernails left. My throat is sore from screaming. My blood pressure must be through the roof.

A casual win by 40+ wouldn't go astray.
