Re: the curious case of jack howarth
When he was contracted was he viewed as a forward or a back? Over the years we seem to have given the younger forwards much longer to progress to first grade. NAS, Tino, and others that I can't readily name spent plenty of years in the ressies as young fellas before slowly being blooded in to first ...

Re: Round 5 vs Broncos
Papenhuyzen23 you keep complaining about Warbrick shooting in this is the style of our defence. For years people have been complaining about our wingers shooting in - there were heaps of similar complaints about Suliasi Vunivalu. I take your point re: Sua, but he has been out injured. I don't think...

Re: Round 5 vs Broncos
Can someone explain to me why on earth forward passes are not reviewed by the bunker when scored from! This is a tricky one and as far as I'm concerned, until they have NFL style cameras all along the side lines the rule can stay as it is. The ONLY time you get a true idea is if the pass is thrown ...

Re: Round 5 vs Broncos
While on the please explains: Can someone tell me why on Thursday night the Broncos kicked it out on the full from a restart and it was a play the ball from where the ball went out, not a plenty from halfway, "because the rule had changed". But last night the Bulldogs kicked the ball out ...

Re: Round 5 vs Broncos
We have had some rough refereed games over the years (06GF definitely one), but nobody, NOBODY, compares to Klein. His consistency to screw us is unmatched. Never ever forget who was the video referee in that game. I can forgive on field refereeing but the video ref should never get it that badly w...

Re: Round 5 vs Broncos
Brisbane ..... and early kicks which caused a lot of trouble. I think that’s why the wingers got caught out a bit as it’s against what they typically face. Why oh why don't we do this, and, thank God more teams don't do it against us. Put yourself on the wing, and your inside man from there, do you...

Re: Round 5 vs Broncos
No Haas. No Walsh. Reynolds missing in the second half. Piakura out. Willison out. At AAMI Park. Almost back to complete full strength Storm. 32 points conceded and we barely scrape home… A bit worrying to be honest. This has gotta be the key information to be taken from this game. Reynolds going o...

Re: Round 5 vs Broncos
To be fair to NAS he was injured and his story on IG he was working overtime in the ring doing some sparring and cardio, hopefully a sign he has taken this seriously and he will earn his place back in the side, a fit and firing NAS is always going to be a great weapon for us, hope to see him back s...

Re: RD 3 vs Knights
. The only issue with Trent is his discipline To be fair, he commonly has his arm trapped between body and ball. If he pulls his arm out ball comes with it and he gets pinged. Leave his arm there and you see him looking pleadingly at the ref. It's obviously part of his technique that the coaching s...

Re: RD 3 vs Knights
Kane Bradley is obviously not a centre but geez that attempted tackle was, ordinary, The second Knights try, I think someone else said it, Katoa needed to make more of an effort to get up and defend, but, this seems to be an accepted Bellamy trait, King and Trent also commonly get left behind the pl...

Re: RD 3 vs Knights
Expecting a real ambush from the Knights in this one… They are 0 and 2 Playing at home After dropping their half back and getting unwanted media attention They will be up for a forward dogfight I reckon. With legit question marks still hanging over our pack, missing NAS, Welch and Chan (not to ment...

Re: RD 3 vs Knights
Yep, or at the worst case, repeat the Canberra game from a few years back and play Lewis as a running 5/8 That would've been effective against the monsters in green, the Knights? (It might help alleviate our lack of size though) I'm not in love with the idea of Wishart at 7 and anyone who know's me...
