Re: The Annual "Wrestling" Media Attack on the Storm

Found this headline in the Daily Telegraph
Panthers fear Sutton can’t contain Storm
behind a paywall. I'm shocked that Sydney media has stooped to this level. (Sarcasm Filter off ) Who's surprised , absolutely no one.

Scary that you don't remember the last time Cleary played against us, he was beaten or don't you remember last years Grand Final?

Re: Official thread and signing news

There was an article in the Herald Sun about the homegrown Victorian players that the storm was looking at. Unfortunately it's behind a paywall but might make an interesting read.

Re: Qualifying Final - Storm vs Sea Eagles

For me both Lumelume and Ieremia have issues e.g. Lumelume has speed but very unconvinced about defence and Ieremia massacred at least a couple of tries by dropping the ball and an issue with the bouncing ball. They should be able to improve but at the moment their side is ripe for opposition tries.

For those interested, Mavrik Geyer, son of Mark (foolishly) signed with Penrith.

Tepai Moeroa signs until 2023. Still not really sold on him.

Re: RD 24 Storm vs Parramatta

The current outcry about dropping Paps and reorganizing the back line fails to acknowledge one fact and any backline is as good as the time they have. I thought that the forwards were very well beaten which led to no time for any fluid backline movement on the edges or middle. I'm not sure you can m...

Re: The Annual "Wrestling" Media Attack on the Storm

Anyone else finding the lack of foxsport anti-Melbourne bias (at the moment) rather discomfiting. I'm used to a regular diet of storm bashing but it seems to be a bit quiet at the moment but that will no doubt change come finals time . Was it a major reaction to C Smith or something else. Even the l...

Re: NRL Fan Forum

I did a photo shoot through the outback (SA,NT, QLD and NSW) wearing my trusty storm cap a couple of years ago and found nothing but positive comments from places like Marla to Townsville and Lightning Ridge so I would say there are a lot of people who like the storm but a significantly less who wou...

Anyone else find much humour in the fact that according to the NRL fan poll, Storm is the most popular team? Also Cheese was voted the best hooker as well as Olam and Foxx in their positions. No real surprises for the other voted positions.

Re: Big Hits (tackles)

Dredging up a seriously old thread I know but I'm trying to show my 9 year old the famous tackle where Robbie Ross cleaned up Adrian Lam. Anyone point me to the appropriate youtube clip please? (Also, whilst you're feeling generous, Crocker on Stewart would please me no end) I think surely you coul...

Re: Official thread and signing news

Apparently we are in the running for Mark Geyer's son as well although Penrith are as well.
