Re: Round 26 - Storm vs Titans AAMI Park, 26th Aug

If the knights beat the sharks tomorrow there is nothing to play for next week. We could play Aaron pene at half back.

It's super early days but this bloke gets injured a lot.

You keep us updated better than the club does, is any of Jordan Grant, Nikorima or Anderson likely to play this week? They've been important for their clubs in QRL, they deserve to play finals.

Gotta be a bit embarrassing to think the highly rated King was dropped.
He wasn't dropped. Embarassing to think that he was.

Re: Papi is back!

I guess interesting to note that Paps was the only storm listed player to not average 10m+ per run. Olam, Sua, Lewis, Pene, howarth, vaalepu, even wishart all achieved it and most did it easily. Paps just 7.5

Re: Official thread and signing news

Would love to know about the Storm offer that was put to Tino to come back. Staying at the Titans on a $1.2m per year deal for 10 years, must have been a huge offer from us. Not that I’m entirely sure how we would have fit that deal in. Team clearly regrets letting him leave, even if at the time it...

Re: Dragons vs Storm, Sat 7.35pm at WIN Stadium

I wonder if they'll be tempted to give brick a week in QRL. Reimis had it the week prior. Seve and Young T are going OK, freshen brick up for a run at finals for his first year in first grade.

Re: R24 Sun - Melbourne v Canberra @ AAMI

Because a) he didn't play every game and b) he wasn't always playing at hooker when on the ground.

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...

Not really something to argue over but this just isn't true.
Of course it is. No idea what you were watching last year.

Re: R24 Sun - Melbourne v Canberra @ AAMI

Eh, Harry was an 80 minute hooker last season too. Not really sure I'm a fan of the tactic itself but managing his minutes is totally fine as he has played a lot of footy the last few months. I think there is probably more upside in taking him off before and after halftime for 10-15 minutes. He get...

Re: R24 Sun - Melbourne v Canberra @ AAMI

I'm personally OK with them using that tactic again with Harry. Easy to forget that this is his first year with us basically as the sole number 9. Not everyone is going be Cameron Smith and play every minute of every game plus SoO and internationals for 15 years.
