Re: RD 24 Storm vs Parramatta

This is great news with j brom back for finals and grant and smith not missing games! It’s just JAC now, hopefully it’s not too bad. I think one change that will definitely be made is b Smith to start at hooker for the first 30 then grant comes on to terrorise the middle with his energy, that has wo...

Re: RD 24 Storm vs Parramatta

I feel like we did need a loss and this was coming. I think Bellamy has no choice now with only one week to go till finals but to go back to how the team was during the middle of the year, Hynes to fullback b Smith to start the game for the first 30 minutes then bring grants energy on to terrorise t...

Re: Official Injury Updates Thread

He will be back for preliminary finals if we make it.

Huge loss especially with Jennings going down as well, both our first choice wingers gone.

Re: RD 24 Storm vs Parramatta

We lose next week we verse south’s without latrell. ( Assuming Penrith win ) We win next week we verse our biggest rival at full strength, manly. Having two new players on each wing ( Assuming addo Carr is out ) that have barely played any footy this year against manly or south’s scares me. We need ...

Re: RD 24 Storm vs Parramatta

Attack looks so disjointed.

If it was manly or Penrith we would be down by 12 right now.

I’m expecting a much better second half, assuming we rest some stars next week this was our last game with near full strength to put a big performance on and it’s far the opposite which isn’t good.

Re: RD 24 Storm vs Parramatta

Isaac Lumelume comes in for his first NRL game of the year. Harry Grant will start at hooker just like I was saying earlier in the week he should & Brandon Smith moves to lock.

Bench will be Tom, Tepai, Nicho, and Tui.

Chris Lewis is 18th man.

Re: RD 24 Storm vs Parramatta

Yes cheese deserves the spot obviously but that doesn’t mean that’s what’s best for the team. What’s best for the team is grant starting and getting more minutes cause of him missing so much footy this year, we need him fully fit and firing on all fronts as well if we want to go back to back. I thin...

Re: RD 24 Storm vs Parramatta

Cheese has to start too Grant needs the minutes. His missed way to much game time. No room for smith to start with Fus dale & Kenny in the back row. Smith on the bench worked great for us last year coming on he provides so much impact and energy through the middle when we need it, I’m happy wit...

Re: Round 23 - Titans vs Storm

For next week: In- Brandon, Hughes, NAS/Tui, Dale, Olam Out - Johns, Jennings, Moeroa, Pene, Seve Tough on the big boys, who did so well last night. But we have to keep Lewis in now, he has earnt his spot in our best side. A 9 day break comes at a good time for anyone with a niggle. Lewis won’t be ...

Re: Round 23 - Titans vs Storm

From what we’ve seen, losing Pene is very disappointing. Great pickup from NZ. I’d have Pene over Grant - hell - I’d have Pene in front of JBrom if I’m honest. Completely 100% agree. Pene over grant & Jbrom. Imagine a prop rotation of Welch, Pene, Tui & NAS ! That’s some impact.. So disappo...

Re: Round 23 - Titans vs Storm

Not surprised j grant is out at all. Pene will be coming in. Provides much more punch and impact then grant does. Still a top quality side, Titans missing brimson and Fotuaika arguably their best forward this year makes it a bit easier considering the players we have missing, I think we should have ...

Re: Round 23 - Titans vs Storm

Honestly still have a better team them even with those handful of guys missing. Still confident we can win this, considering Titans are missing Brimson as well which is a big loss to them. I think NAS was good to go and if it was a final game he could of played, he was running around in training wit...

Re: Round 23 - Titans vs Storm

Hughes out is a blow but paps at fullback and Hynes into the halves is still a great spine that can pile on the points.

Hopefully getting Jennings, NAS & Pene back which will be a huge boost as well.

Pretty confident we match that record next week.

Re: Ryan Papenhuyzen

Paps is the 1st choice - by a mile. He should have been on tonight 10mins before HT, not 19 after. Nicho has done great, way better than anyone could have imagined this year. He’s taken his game up 2/3 levels and deserved his call up to NSW origin squad. But Nicho: Doesn’t show the urgency in defen...

Re: Round 22 - Storm vs Raiders

Bellamy has been saying is his press conferences that they are slowly giving paps more time but that’s far from the truth. This is his 4th game back playing the same minutes. We only have 3 more games to go, paps needs more minutes to get more confidence his not gunna get there bringing him on in t...
