Round 10 - Melbourne v Souths

[nacho]

Storm paying $2.85 for the win when i checked last night. Could be a great punt

[Michael :P]

Tbh South's will have to be down for us to win this game.

Craig will have detected some weakness though. Rush up on Sutton and force Reynolds inside, he struggles to pass under minimal pressure and they can struggle especailly with no roll on.

Few positional changes from Craig. Stoked to see Tohu starting, hopefully he can perform strongly and cement a starting position. Will be interesting to see the dynamic between Smith, Hinchy and Romelo.

1. Billy Slater
2. Sisa Waqa
3. Will Chambers
4. Kurt Mann
5. Young Tonumaipea
9. Cameron Smith (c)
7. Cooper Cronk
8. Jesse Bromwich
13. Ryan Hinchcliffe
10. Bryan Norrie
11. Kevin Proctor
12. Ryan Hoffman
15. Tohu Harris

Interchange

6. Joel Romelo
14. Kenny Bromwich
16. Dayne Weston
17. George Rose

Moving Smith from hooker weakens us severely.

[Inglis#3]

This is somewhat shocking but in our last eight games when Smith has played in the halves we've won 6 of them.

[Insomniac]

With Romelo left on the bench, I'm guessing Craig will revert to the original plan after the first 15-20 minutes or so - I'd be very surprised if we play the entire 80 minutes with Smith at 6.

I don't really like the look of that bench against $outh$ either - this could be tough to watch.

[Inglis#3]

Looks like Travis Robinson and Junior Moors are our 18th and 19th men tonight.

Aw wow last minute shuffles and my confidence has dropped dammit

[Ice]

Well this is a decent start.........

[blazza18]

A dream first half. Loved everything we did. Hope the boys can continue on in the second half.

[Storm Spirit]

win lose or draw...best footy of the year by far.... so far

[Storm Spirit]

As much as i love GI for everything he did for Melbourne...that was a shoulder charge and he should be on report.

One rule for some....

[Inglis#3]

Knew having Tohu Harris in the run on side would make a substantial difference.

[cayal]

Does Inglis ever play well against us?

[storm_rhinos]

Just like the storm we know and have missed. How good was Billy. Dont think we had a passenger all night except Romelo who did stuff all. very happy , fast play going forward, great defending and playing with some confidence.
