Re: R24 Sun - Melbourne v Canberra @ AAMI

I think Papenhuyzen plays another 80 in Qld Cup next week and if he gets through that is number 14 v Titans the week after. Imagine the crowd reaction when he comes on. Yep, this is what I am thinking too. Looking at his stats (didn't see the game) he made plenty of runs but only made 6-7metres per...

Re: Papi is back!

Without knowing what Meaney earns, you would imagine he outplays his contract in terms of value added. Good sides are built on players outperforming their contracts. With that said it’s too late in the season to try reintroducing Paps to full back. We made that mistake a couple years ago when Nicho ...

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

Amazing first 30 minutes. Best I’ve seen of any team all year.

Last 50 minutes absolute garbage.

Utter garbage.

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

If Meaney is injured (I have no idea), it might be one of those Munster at FB games with Pezet retaining his spot.

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

Tough choice to fight Welch’s charge or not.

Wasn’t your stereotypical hip drop as he really didn’t fall on the back of the legs. But the potential to miss two games might be too risky to challenge.

Re: BREAKING: Dragons disaster as Ryles reportedly rejects coaching job to join Storm

# called it Here is your quote from the Craig Bellamy coaching thread; "Purely speculative - if Ryles isn’t at the Dragons next year, I think he will be back in Melbourne. With that said - I’d be shocked if he wasn’t at the Dragons next year." Are you shocked? Really, you had a foot in bo...

Re: Origin squads

I enjoy the media commentary around Pongas omission at full back and loyalty. Ponga has been average overall this season playing as a 5/8th in a team sitting 12th on the ladder. Reece Walsh is playing really well as a FB in a top 4 side. Does it not pick itself? I like Wayne Bennetts approach with C...

Re: Bellyache to Coach in 2024!

Purely speculative - if Ryles isn’t at the Dragons next year, I think he will be back in Melbourne.

With that said - I’d be shocked if he wasn’t at the Dragons next year.

Re: Official Injury Updates Thread

I find myself thinking more and more about Paps lately.

Gee I hope he gets healthy and gets a good run at it.

Re: 2024 Squad

I actually don’t mind Jack Johns for a bargain buy. Got an error in him, but runs hard and off contract at end of the year. Someone’s also got to be squeezed out at the Bunnies for Wighton - Liam Knight is off contract could be a good fit, probably doesn’t bend enough backs on his runs though. Matt ...

Re: Round 4 Storm v Tigers at AAMI Park

Shit game. We were the better side, but really didn’t play well. Then again - we were missing 3 of our best 6 players. I hope Paps comes back and can get a clean run at it. We just miss his X Factor around the ruck and polish in set plays. The attack is just so eh without him. We do need another rel...
