Re: Round 27 - Rest and Blood players

It might seem weird, but that was the most exciting play I’ve seen this year.

Only called high because Brisbane lost the ball.

Re: Round 27 - Rest and Blood players

Of course Anderson scores after I slag him off lol, still stand by what I said! I agree so far no one is putting their hand up, looking sloppy and disjointed in general, nice little kick by Nikorima there though. His left foot helped you out there! Olam needs some big runs tonight for confidence. Y...

Re: Round 27 - Rest and Blood players

Looking really Bleh so far.

No one is playing their way into next week at this rate.

With all the love floating around for Paps does anyone honestly think he stops the Dragons tonight scoring 28 points? I don't think so.
I think Paps wears out teams more defending him, creating more opposition fatigue and better field position for us to defend from.

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

That was a whole lot of yuck combined with the odd moment of brilliance.

Let’s take it and run. Look forward to seeing Paps coming off the bench next week.

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: 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...

Re: Papi is back!

Without knowing what Meaney earns, you would imagine he outplays his contract in terms of value added. Good sides are built on players outperforming their contracts. With that said it’s too late in the season to try reintroducing Paps to full back. We made that mistake a couple years ago when Nicho ...

Re: Melbourne Storm vs Penrith Panthers - Round 18 - Friday 30/6/23 - Marvel Stadium - 8pm

Amazing first 30 minutes. Best I’ve seen of any team all year.

Last 50 minutes absolute garbage.

Utter garbage.

Re: RD 17 v Manly Sea Eagles JUNE 24 AAMI PARK

If Meaney is injured (I have no idea), it might be one of those Munster at FB games with Pezet retaining his spot.

Re: Round 15 v Sharks at AAMI Park Sun 11 June

Tough choice to fight Welch’s charge or not.

Wasn’t your stereotypical hip drop as he really didn’t fall on the back of the legs. But the potential to miss two games might be too risky to challenge.

Re: BREAKING: Dragons disaster as Ryles reportedly rejects coaching job to join Storm

# called it Here is your quote from the Craig Bellamy coaching thread; "Purely speculative - if Ryles isn’t at the Dragons next year, I think he will be back in Melbourne. With that said - I’d be shocked if he wasn’t at the Dragons next year." Are you shocked? Really, you had a foot in bo...

Re: Origin squads

I enjoy the media commentary around Pongas omission at full back and loyalty. Ponga has been average overall this season playing as a 5/8th in a team sitting 12th on the ladder. Reece Walsh is playing really well as a FB in a top 4 side. Does it not pick itself? I like Wayne Bennetts approach with C...
