Re: HUGE SURGE IN NRL CROWDS

Refers to the data in the State of the gAme release by the NRL... wonder when they collated the data?  Maybe at that stage we were below still? Membership numbers are as at 19 April, 2010. You would think with them releasing the data a month later than 19 April that the data would be more up to date.

Re: Aiden Tolman gone to the Bulldogs

I am disappointed that Aiden is leaving, but as others said it was almost inevitable, particularly after the scandal. Aiden was playing well this year, and if he didn't get injured he would have played in the Country side and probably be in the NSW side. Thanks Aiden for your efforts with the Storm ...

Re: What's up with that CRAP ch NEIN sports report

40-0 Grapple that!!! Not a choker by any means I always said to a mate of mine that is a Manly fan that Orford choked under "scoreboard pressure." When behind Orford always had a tendency to want to score off the next play instead of building a set of six and back to back sets of six. Unf...

Re: Storm ready for court battle to recover their premierships

Hi all, Long time reader first time poster, Storm fan since 99 (First game I ever seen involved Nikau and Joe Vagna squaring up at olympic park! love at first sight!)

Re: Storm vs Raiders

Anthony Quinn – suffered a ligament avulsion (torn from the bone) in Sunday’s game. Thus requires surgical re-attachment and he will unfortunately miss 4 weeks. http://www.melbournestorm.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=323 If that is the case why have we named Quin in the team. So will Sta...

Noa I would assume that Rory would be utility bench player considering Hinchcliffe will take over the hooking role in Cam's absence.

Re: NYC 2010

source: www.melbournestorm.com.au A brilliant second half comeback wasn't enough for a gallant Melbourne to snatch victory in an entertaining under-20's clash with North Queensland, going down 34-30 at Dairy Farmers Stadium on Saturday. Trailing 34-10 with just over 20 minutes left, the young Storm...

Australia V New Zealand

I see from the Foxtel EPG and from the TV Guide in the Herald Sun that Channel None is televising the test match live on Friday night. This I suppose is not unusual considering they like televising matches live against the gate. In this instance it shouldn't effect the crowd much because most people...

Re: Storm v Cowboys....

Another great win. I think Craig has said to the boys as long as you keep with our usual defensive structure, I am happy for you to have some fun in attack. It is a bit like Parra at the end of last year they thought they couldn't make the finals so they threw the ball around a bit. I agree with oth...

Re: NRL must not rip into Melbourne Storm roster

Good work, Karl. It just goes to show that News Ltd can ship northern journalists in and out of Melbourne. But even with Karl back in Qld he still has first hand knowledge of what the Storm have done in the past recruitment wise and can write an informative article. I think a lot of people including...

Re: Who might go ???

Foxsports website mid tier players Lima Finch Hoffy White are likely These players make sense plus you would expect Tolman to leave. Noa I can't see there's much sense in offloading Norrie and Tandy because we would be picking someone up on the same or at least similar value. These guys are solid p...

Re: Cronk, Inglis, Smith, Slater - which one can we afford to lose?

I would hope if Lima, Tolman, Finch and one or two others on mid-$ contracts leave that we would be able to keep the fab four. Assuming Mr Gallop allows it. I don;t want Tolman to leave but think it is inevitable unfortunately. If one of them has to leave, as much as I love him, I would have to say ...
