Re: Round 5 vs Broncos
No Haas. No Walsh. Reynolds missing in the second half. Piakura out. Willison out. At AAMI Park. Almost back to complete full strength Storm. 32 points conceded and we barely scrape home… A bit worrying to be honest. This has gotta be the key information to be taken from this game. Reynolds going o...

Re: Round 5 vs Broncos
To be fair to NAS he was injured and his story on IG he was working overtime in the ring doing some sparring and cardio, hopefully a sign he has taken this seriously and he will earn his place back in the side, a fit and firing NAS is always going to be a great weapon for us, hope to see him back s...

Re: RD 3 vs Knights
. The only issue with Trent is his discipline To be fair, he commonly has his arm trapped between body and ball. If he pulls his arm out ball comes with it and he gets pinged. Leave his arm there and you see him looking pleadingly at the ref. It's obviously part of his technique that the coaching s...

Re: RD 3 vs Knights
Kane Bradley is obviously not a centre but geez that attempted tackle was, ordinary, The second Knights try, I think someone else said it, Katoa needed to make more of an effort to get up and defend, but, this seems to be an accepted Bellamy trait, King and Trent also commonly get left behind the pl...

Re: RD 3 vs Knights
Expecting a real ambush from the Knights in this one… They are 0 and 2 Playing at home After dropping their half back and getting unwanted media attention They will be up for a forward dogfight I reckon. With legit question marks still hanging over our pack, missing NAS, Welch and Chan (not to ment...

Re: RD 3 vs Knights
Yep, or at the worst case, repeat the Canberra game from a few years back and play Lewis as a running 5/8 That would've been effective against the monsters in green, the Knights? (It might help alleviate our lack of size though) I'm not in love with the idea of Wishart at 7 and anyone who know's me...

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
All due respect to Coates, his match winner was as spectacular a clutch play as you'll ever see, he wasn't the second best player over 80 minutes. I agree, leave the spectacular try out of and it and he had a really good game. The one dropped bomb when they threw an absolute Blitzkrieg at him was p...

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
The entire point of modern backline plays is to trap our FB close to the ruck on one side of the field, then inject your own fullback on the opposite side to create the overlap. Bellamy, from day dot has had the defensive philosophy to keep the middle tight and if the opposing backline play is good...

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
Reimis Smith gets it wrong every single time. Such a poor defender. I have an observation to make about posting during the game. Some of us read the comments post match and I'm sure, like me, some will wonder what the comment was in reference to, usually, but not always I can work them out. Maybe t...

I didn't realise this happened at the time, too busy looking at the huge overlap

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
Worrying how much stronger and faster the Warriors looked for a fair chunk of that game. We couldn’t go with them at all as they were churning out 60m sets over and over. I think our effort was there we just lack “something” as a squad. Don’t want to fret too much about it as it’s only week two but...

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
Warriors 66% completion rate in the first half flattered us We were shot whereas the Warriors were shot out of cannons in the second half. Needing three in every tackle when the big boppers are hurtling in to our line inevitably opens up the line with some passes. All our backs put their hands up in...
