Finchy has enormous enthusiasm as displayed by his kick chase. Something I noticed last night was he was the first or second Storm player to that scrum with a minute 21 left, showing the enthusiasm to try and stop the click as quickly as possible.

Despite Finchy and Blair being in the NRL team last night, the Sharks NSW Cup team still won v Vulcans 48 - 10.

Tries: P Politoni 2, T Peachey 2, T Sopoaga, C Townsend, M Wright, T Gigot
Conversions: C Townsend 8

8 wins from 8 matches. Good work.

Would you people eat your young so fast if they made a mistake? probably by the goings on in this thread,a half made a dumb mistake at an awful time,but so did Cronk seconds earlier,his kick was raiders Orford-esque,but he is allowed to do that because his not leavin yeah? I seen a certain someone ...

No way I'd drop Fonua. I love his strong runs, and his courage. He set up a try last night and scored another and ran for over 100m. Yes he dropped a sitter, but you can't blame him for the Widdop pass at his toes. It's one loss folks...no need to over-react. How the players respond to a bad showin...

I am not sure what the right thing to do is either but bringing Finchy on with only 2 mins and 45 seconds left is a waste and Widdop is probably more of a utility than Finchy is. I was always a bit sceptical with our bench last night we went from having four forwards all year to two forwards and two...

Burleigh Bears 28 defeated Easts Tigers 26. A disappointing result.

Sa'u, Hampton, Garbutt, Glasby and K Bromwich all played.

just turned on the tv to see ryan pooley score a brilliant diving dry, getting pushed over the sideline in the air and got it down. but easts are behind early 8-12 just before half time That was a ripping try by Pooley. Unfortunately the Tigers came up just short (3 points) in a ripping match. Dave...

Cam is pretty much spot on. At half time I sent a text to a friend that said:

"Storm seem a bit anxious, not as calm as normal. Not playing normal style, we are playing too much like the Warriors."

The missed tackles by Fonua, O'Neill and Widdop are a concern. Will had a pretty good game, although he did make 3 handling errors and there was another ball that he almost dropped it went through his hands, hit his head and he regathered it. Hoffy, Billy and Sisa were good as were Jesse and Tohu. T...

Source telling me Dayne Weston That would be a good pick up. He is a 26 or 27 year old prop who has 60-odd games of NRL experience under his belt. I remember him being a star for Burleigh in the 2010 Qld Cup and he was quite good for the Panthers in 2011 and 2012. I emailed Frank Ponnissi in 2010 a...

Probably not a big enough effort for a Storm player to earn a spot in the NSW team though

I think there is a fair chance Hoffy will be in the NSW team, Laurie Daley is a big fan of Hoffy.

Congrats to Mahe on his two tries for Tonga. It was good to see a mid-season test between a couple of Pacific Island nations. It sounds like it is something that will be happening for the next four or five years from what the commentators were saying. They should make it a triple header Under 20's O...

The Sharks v Manly NSW Cup game yesterday was postponed due to wet weather / the condition of Henson Park.

I remember his goal. Wasn't it our last game for 2010 at AAMI Park V Newcastle? And he toe-poked it from directly in front? It certainly was. I like how in our last home game of the season, particularly if we are winning well, we give departing players (who wouldn't normally goal kick) the chance t...

Disappointed that Gaz is leaving. He is the first of the 2009 Under 20s crop who has cemented himself in first grade to leave. I don't hold any grudges towards Gaz and wish him all the best. I would have loved him to stay but glad we didn't pay $550 or 600k to keep him. This wont affect the Storm th...
