Re: 2014 Official thread and signing news

I think we should be looking for a fairly young player who actually has experience in the halves. Not a fullback who we want to convert but a genuine half. Someone who is about 23 or 24 and can be groomed to take over once the big three are gone. You mean kinda like Cody Walker? Seems to fit that d...

Re: R18 - Melbourne vs Canterbury-Bankstown

Agreed RE Harris. We look much better when he plays the 80.

Re: 2014 Official thread and signing news

Roberts is at the Storm on a two year deal though, isn't he? I understand it to be, if he is going at the end of this year, it is the clubs decision. Happy for someone to correct me if I am wrong?

Damn, was hoping we would be able to hold onto Roberts.

Re: what do wehave to do to make finals

I hope with the return of Cronk, we will see some return to normalcy... at least from an attacking point of view. We have clearly lacked direction and execution without him. Cronk to steer the ship and dominate possession, Roberts to support and focus on his running game. Our defence still needs to ...

Re: what do wehave to do to make finals

Teams currently on the ladder in positions 5 - 10 are all on 20 points; Roosters (+104) Warriors (+77) Broncos (+22) Storm (-32) Eeels (-34) Tigers (-48) Because our for and against isn't great, every win will be critical. I would hazard a guess that 28 points will be the cut-off for the top 8 with ...

Re: Your honest opinion...

Spot on STORM FAN. Our ruck domination is nowhere near what it has been in previous years. No doubt partly because of the change in rules which have sped up the ruck. In other years I believe we could have coped and managed things a bit better but our squad is just not up to it this year. Our forwar...

Re: Ben Hampton signs with Cronulla

I have wanted Ben to kill it all year but he has been disappointing. Playing in the halves, it takes time to develop a smooth attack but defence needs to be first grade standard which unfortunately Ben has struggled with. Best of luck to him at Cronulla. I hope he reaches his potential there. Takes...

Re: Chambers assault investigation??

So apparently some skank walked past Ben Te'o, grabbed his hat off of his head, walked away to the next table and started wearing it. Chambers took the hat back and gave it to Te'o. "Hero looking for 5mins of fame" got in Chambers face because it wasn't "his" hat to take back. Pu...

Re: Ben Hampton signs with Cronulla

The writing was on the wall when we signed Green. Cronulla, whilst a complete rabble, is his best shot at a regular first grade spot. More first grade would obviously be a priority for him, so in that regard it makes sense.

I was wondering how long it would take before some people came on here defending the inexcusable! It seems that as storm fans we aren't allowed to criticise anyone in purple.. Yes but some people go too far...not you just some fans And IMO some Storm fans refuse to accept any criticism of a players...

Re: Rd 16 v St George Illawarra Dragons

As has already been discussed at length, Sisa had a night to forget… 3 errors, out of position on kicks, out of position in defence a number of times, 1 dangerous offload, 8 tackles, 6 missed tackles. He rarely hits the line with any speed/force anymore. Fingers crossed he can bounce back. He needs ...
