Re: Storm v Sea Eagles classic match from 99

Kearney was magnificent. I agree re: Ross as well. It is too easy to remember how his career was cut short by injury but he was a wonderful full back in his prime. I loved the comment (from Blocker I think) when Ross scored from Kearney's offload that "he lives in Kearney's pocket". Also t...

Re: 2010 NRL Draw

Surandy, in a selfish way I would prefer no Storm games were on Channel None because at least we know they are live on Fox. Although, based on None's form the Good Friday game will be live because it is in Melbourne (and when TV ratings are down they can say it doesn't rate) and it there is no AFL o...

Re: Team for next year

The Mail understands Melbourne Storm's Ryan Tandy, who helped Rovers survive their first season in Super League, could be another possible target. Tandy joined the Robins in May 2007 and played 12 games as the club fought for survival. Last Sunday, Tandy helped the Storm win their second Grand Fina...

Re: Anthony Watmough for Whom?

I wont be overly impressed if DJ leaves. He is the heart and soul of our team. As for Watmough, Danny Weidler was sprouting this story (aka rubbish) on the Footy Show a couple of months ago. Unless he comes down here on a cut priced deal like Finch, there is no chance we will pick him up. I couldn't...

Re: we signed another player!

is he the one we signed up 2 years ago but he messed up his knee and was out the whole season? No that was Ben, who had played with us in 2004. Luke is Adam and Ben's younger brother. Luke came back from injury mid-season and couldn't get a run from (or a word out of) Brian Smith at the Knights and...

Re: Channel 9 - worst yet

I spoke to programming at Channel None. This is what they said in response to my queries: - Why was Under 20s not on instead of 1953 movie Mogambo? Not commercially viable, better ratings for Mogambo than the Under 20s. I replied by saying the ratings at 2pm on one Sunday afternoon wasn't going to b...

Re: Channel 9 - worst yet

Channel "None" are a disgrace. Not only no presentations after our win but had Mogambo, a 1953 movie starring Ava Gardner and Clark Gable on instead of our Under 20s. Great effort Thunderbolts as well. Thank goodness for Fox Sports. How biased were the None commentators throughout the game...

Re: Wayne Bennett's Logic

I did not hear any complaints from Bennett last year when the Storm finished first, lost to the Warriors and then had to play the Broncos at Suncorp.

Re: Was the Ryan Tandy report thrown out ?

Good to see Tandy, not being charged. How good was his first half in particular on Friday night? Got his head through the line a couple of times and drew a couple of penalties. Particularly funny when big George Rose belly flopped on him. I have been a fan of Tandy since seeing him play for Balmain ...

Re: Who do we play in the semi?

Dogs finished second so probably fair enough to be in a tougher group them then.

Still way better than the alternative of playing next week. We have a week off and then play in Melbourne, as opposed to having to win next week and then heading to Sydney for prelim final.

**paging Mr. Robbie Kearns, paging Mr. Robbie Kearns, you are required in the No.8 jersey** Do we still have Clifford Manua on our books?  Most likely have to get either Hep Cahill or Jesse Bromwich into the team.  Yet to see JB run around. No, we don't have Clifford Manua on our books. We released...

Re: Quinn takes mighty steps

I hope Quinny gets back to full health. We have missed his dummy half runs and his toughness. Amazing that he has played 162 NRL games and is only 26.

He was one of the players who signed a long term contract last year after his 3 Origin games.

Re: ryan tandy?

I am a big fan of Ryan Tandy. I saw him play a number of games for Balmain Ryde Tigers in NSW Cup and for Ireland at RLWC last year. He just continually puts his hand up for work (the kind of player Craig Bellamy likes)and can put a dent in the opposition's defensive line. He should also be voted ou...

Re: Round 23 v Knights Lineups

I think Nielsen is quite a solid player and hope we have (or do) re-signed him for next year. I, like Super Cronk, am pretty happy to see Ryan Tandy get a game. He has been carving it up for CC Storm and I was impressed with the games I saw him play last year with Balmain-Ryde Tigers in NSW Cup and ...
