Re: Storm vs Eels

Not sure why all the focus on Coates. He's 21 and developing his game. The reason we are getting completely dominated in a first half yet again is not because a winger isnt playing well. If some of the forwards took some hit ups instead of doing link passes we might start getting field position and ...

Storm vs Eels

Chris Lewis replaces Tom on the bench.
Loiero remains on bench after pulling up ok in return.
No Tepai on the extended bench :( - not sure why if he's had two good hit outs in the last 2 weeks. We need some go forward in the pack.

The raiders roosters and eels have worked it out
Add panthers to that list. Pangai Jnr roughing up and verbally abusing our forwards to start that finals game last year was no accident.

Re: Storm vs Roosters

So with the sharks winning we cant finish top 2 now. Eels game is absolutely massive as winning the comp from outside top 4 almost impossible.

Re: Official thread and signing news

Well this was certainly a strange exercise. Whilst I'm really pleased that we've locked in these guys, I don't think any of them are in our first choice 17 next year. As others have said, in the past we would just have a statement on the website for this. Am getting a bit worried that we haven't hea...

Re: Official thread and signing news

Not that it was likely anyway, but looks like ftom the signings this far we wont be making an effort to sihn nofoluma. If munster stayed, I'm assuming the wingers would be Coates and Meaney. Signed backups would then be jennings, dean, anderson, etc. Cant really put more cash into the winger positio...

Re: Storm vs Roosters

Tui named on the bench so hopefully his back isnt too bad.

Young still in centres despite Seve back in reserves

Fus back on the edge.

Still no tepai from what i can see.

Lets go!

Amazing news. Could do with both on the bench for finals.

Re: Broncos v Storm

If cowboys hadnt been given that win at the end over tigers then we'd currently be second.

Unbelievable performance. Bellamy should win coach of the century if this team do some damage in the finals despite all the injuries.

Nelsons effort this season has also been superhuman.

Re: Official thread and signing news

You need to see the full contracts to form a view on how good they are. Lots of players are on unders for first few years then big last year to make up for it. Still dissapointed we didnt keep Tino - future qld captain. Gold coast signed him in 2019 after only 5 bench appearances but the potential w...

Re: Official thread and signing news

I cant see any way that munster stays. He will go for well over a million a year whether its dolphins or elsewhere, and we just cant fit that in the cap. We need to hope that Paps can hold up for a full season next year and maybe even get meaney in the halves. If its correct that we have offered Mu...

Re: Official thread and signing news

When jesse signed that deal 4.5 years ago he was arguably the best prop in the game - it just seems like a crazy amount this year likely as its back ended and given how his season has gone, but it sounds like the figure is correct.
