Re: Who is no be kept from the 2023 squad

Everybody is perfectly entitled to their own opinion , but I expect if we can survive at least the next two games, this whole thread will be irrelevant

Re: 1st Semi Final vs Roosters @ AAMI Park

If a player was so hopelessly out of form and they just so happened to be a captain does this mean they are untouchable? Agree, it’s this ridiculous attitude in a results based sport that can and probably will be the difference between winning and being also-rans. Favourites, untouchables, whatever...

I completely agree. Not at this time but next year?

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium

Yes, there is absolutely no doubt it was a horror show but two things to consider. The season is not over and until the fat prop makes the final tackle, I will continue to have hope that we will be victorious. If not, then that's the time for post mortems.

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium

I watched until the end of the game and had to turn it off after it. Did anyone watch the press conference for Bellamy?

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium

I'm thinking that Storm will go for a suffocating game on the first half with Bronson or Tyran in at 9 tiring out the Broncos forwards and at about 30-40 mins Harry comes on and we raise the tempo of the game with the speed merchants with Papi playing a floating middle forward.

Re: Official thread and signing news

Why am I not surprised that only a couple of days after his debut, The Courier Mail is reporting that we will have a battle to keep Sua when he becomes a free agent in November.

I look forward to tonight's match between the Brisbane Norths Souths Seagulls and the Melbourne Sunshine Coast Tigers. Can't pick a winner however!

In the presser by CB, he said that Hughes wouldn't play due to the short turnaround.

The Standards Enforcer

Slightly on a different tack, I was watching Michael Ennis talk abound t the Mitchell issue and the issues it created. He said if that was Billy Slater on stage, he would have been having a conversation with CB and even more robust conversation with Cameron Smith. It lead me to thinking if a storm p...
