Re: RD 3 vs Knights

On the front page of the Daily Telegraph today a inclusive interview entitled "Alex McKinnon 10 years on: Life, love and forging a future after tragedy".

NSW media they are a one of a kind. This is really not what I a think the are.

Re: Official thread and signing news

James Hooper from Fox Sports STORM’S $800K ENFORCER AT CROSSROADS Big, bad Nelson Asofa-Solomona was widely regarded as the most damaging front row forward in the game a couple of seasons ago. A giant of a man with an equally big motor and an underrated soft pair of hands, big Nelson, James Fisher H...

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park

From what I remember Luai pushes the touch judge out of the way deliberately to get to one of his players.

How about Pezet in the seven, Paps in the six and Sua in the one. I would like that

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park

Last year, Penrith five-eighth Jarome Luai escaped a ban for shoving touch judge Chris Sutton in the back. At the time Luai said it was an innocent mistake. Like Hughes, Luai was charged with contrary conduct but was hit with a $1,800 fine rather than a suspension over the incident in May. Onto the ...

I do't think Munster will be back until the round after the bye.

SHOOSH

Which highly paid Storm star is off-side with Melbourne powerbrokers to such an extent that coach Craig Bellamy would probably not stand in his way if he were to look for an opportunity elsewhere.

This is in Sunday's Daily Telegraph.

Re: Trials 2024

There is a rumour going around the Munster is not playing round one. That could be why Pezet played so many minutes in both games. I can’t remember where I heard/read it but it was just a rumour.

Re: 2024 Season

Went to the open training in Officer today. It was long (3 hours) and they worked hard. I noticed a few things. A lot of the top grade are not doing contact work yet, obviously because of post operations they are in rehab mode. Paps do the whole trainging session with the rehab group. When the fit p...
