Nah 2012 was very special given what we'd gone through in 2010.

I can't wait for JWH to be out of this league. Absolute thug.

Did he leave due to the breaches? Or did he leave because he was Ryan Tandy?

I will never pick Lodge in one of these sides. He can GAGF.

Been a while since we done one of these, since then Jesse, Proctor, Cronk, Finucane, Tolman, Guerra, Widdop and O'Neil have retired. 1 drinky 2 JAC 3 Olam 4 CNK 5 Arthars 6 walker 7 hynes 8 McLean 9 Smith 10 Max king 11 kaufusi 12 Kenny 13 Tino 14 Mann 15 Eisenhuth 16 Fermor 17 Harris 18 Trindall 19...

I'm bullish about our 2nd rowers, Blore will go to another level next year. Add Stefano to NAS, Loeiro, King, Tui, Macdonald, Welch. I think Jack might have to stay where he is for a while. And nothing wrong with that!

Interesting. Not as tall as Coates and Warbrick, more an Anderson/Meaney in dimensions. I'm assuming he hasn't been brought over to play halves and we seem to like these big wingers. So he'd be eyeing off the non-Howarth centre position. Good luck,bit of competition in the backs atm.

The Paps criticism is pretty unfair imo. He did absolutely nothing wrong in that game and didn’t overplay his hand (which is good when the rest of the spine are firing). I don’t buy that his running game has completely fallen off, you only have to think back to earlier in the year when he scored th...

Because Harry has got himself a reputation now with the refs - he does not get penalties. I don't know how he digs himself out of this mess he got himself in.

I reckon Blore has another gear in him. Hasn't done a full Storm pre-season yet. He'll be even better next year.

Did it look like everyone got through the full session? How was pap moving? Yep everyone got though fine paps looked good Only Sua Chris and Maz were in the rehab group and Young left early Bit of concern with one of our forward wearing the red no contact shirt but he did the whole session and did ...

Cecchin was the best of recent times.

Ok, NOW we are full strength for the first time all year. Yeah maybe. I'm not convinced that Sua isn't in our best 17 in place of one of the props. Especially with doubts lingering over Paps' fitness and form. But Sua is out with a hammy. We just have to hope that Paps gets through this game, and w...

Don't mean to be an expert in hindsight, but this was always likely. Being away from the Sydney bubble and being under CB was the best thing for JAC, like Curtis Scott before him. Actually there's probably a lot of examples of players falling apart upon leaving the Storm.
