Re: Melbourne Storm vs Penrith Panthers - Round 18 - Friday 30/6/23 - Marvel Stadium - 8pm

Big big test. Forwards will need to show up for his one. Be surprised if we can score more than 16-18 points so the defence is going to need to tighten up a lot more than the last few weeks. Agreed this one’s going to won in the middle, I do think our defence has been much better the last few weeks...

Re: Melbourne Storm vs Penrith Panthers - Round 18 - Friday 30/6/23 - Marvel Stadium - 8pm

I think Tui starts for Tariq and I think Either Tyran or Tommy are a chance of making the bench too, surprised Katoa isn’t back yet this eye issue must be pretty severe, with the bye next week probably just playing it safe. Huge game leading into the last bye we really need to pump up for this one ⚡️

Melbourne Storm vs Penrith Panthers - Round 18 - Friday 30/6/23 - Marvel Stadium - 8pm

This is the big one, winner goes top on their own, a chance to lay down our marker to the back to back premiers and make a statement in front of a packed house down the docklands!! Easily our biggest game for the year so far and I cannot wait for kick off! Storm team: 1. Nick Meaney 2. William Warbr...

Re: RD 17 v Manly Sea Eagles JUNE 24 AAMI PARK

Anyone reckon Warbrick has the tools and build to play centre for us? I think he could be very good there.

Re: RD 17 v Manly Sea Eagles JUNE 24 AAMI PARK

Been impressed with Warbrick and Coates, far and away our best players and the only real threats so far, need to kick it up a notch in the second half we were definitely out-enthused particularly early in the half, we always seem to be so flat early on, I know we back our fitness and grind teams int...

Re: RD 17 v Manly Sea Eagles JUNE 24 AAMI PARK

Olam is getting a lot of good ball tonight. Be good to see him find some form and do something with it. Think he’s been very hesitant so far. Watch him he literally refuses to use his arm he broke in pre season, won’t hold the ball with it, won’t fend and won’t even get up using that arm to hold/pl...

Re: RD 16 17th June WestsTigers vs Storm

Great win by the boys, lot of troops missing and the guys hung tough and to hold them to a try off a lucky kick was pleasing, last few weeks have started to feel like the Storm of old again, really excited to see what we can do at the back end of the year with a full complement of players on deck, w...

Re: RD 16 17th June WestsTigers vs Storm

Bit of a strange one, but considering we are missing Papenhuyzen, Coates, Olam, Munster, Grant, Welch and Katoa from our top 13 it’s been a fair effort, tough grind and I think defence will win this one, can’t see many more points from us time to put the brick wall up let’s go lads! 💪

Re: RD 16 17th June WestsTigers vs Storm

From what I’ve seen of Howarth he definitely has the talent and the engine to play first grade, he has had quite a few injury set backs though and is still quite young, hopefully we see the best of him in the next few years there is definitely a decent player there.

Re: Round 15 v Sharks at AAMI Park Sun 11 June

Not surprised by this bounce back, last week was the darkest day for a long time, very happy with the effort so far, everyone’s been huge particularly Harry & Tui, keep it up lads!

Re: Papi is back!

Reckon the best hope is Paps can help the Falcons in the Qcup finals and hopefully be ready for first grade again for the Storm in 2024. I guess it all depends on how well he comes back, I mean if we are month out from finals and he is destroying the QLD Cup as much as I love what Meaney has given ...

Re: Papi is back!

Paps shared a story on Insta updating everyone, he said 4 weeks would be an absolute miracle and the aim is end of the season/just before finals, he is running and doing change of direction and skills work. He also said he will be nursed back via QLD cup, what a boost if we make it to the finals to ...

Re: Papi is back!

Edit

Seems Papenhuyzen himself has poured cold water over this story, denying it completely on Twitter. Very interesting, guess the wait continues 😔
