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...

Re: Bellyache to Coach in 2024!

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.

Re: Official Injury Updates Thread

I find myself thinking more and more about Paps lately.

Gee I hope he gets healthy and gets a good run at it.

Re: 2024 Squad

I actually don’t mind Jack Johns for a bargain buy. Got an error in him, but runs hard and off contract at end of the year. Someone’s also got to be squeezed out at the Bunnies for Wighton - Liam Knight is off contract could be a good fit, probably doesn’t bend enough backs on his runs though. Matt ...

Re: Round 4 Storm v Tigers at AAMI Park

Shit game. We were the better side, but really didn’t play well. Then again - we were missing 3 of our best 6 players. I hope Paps comes back and can get a clean run at it. We just miss his X Factor around the ruck and polish in set plays. The attack is just so eh without him. We do need another rel...

Re: Storm @ Gold Coast Titans Cbus Super Stadium, 3.00pm AEDT

Stale, error riddled, unwatchable the Storm. In back to back games.

Personally - I think Carrigan would be silly to leave. But I think you would be looking at $900k to be in the ballpark

Re: Storm Vs Eels Commbank stadium

Kenny was the only one I was actually sad about losing. Jesse and Fus are past their best and Brandon's attitude was simply untenable in the end. 100% agree I thought it was interesting that Smith was at the game taking selfies with Welch. I'd always thought he was more focussed on playing with his...

Re: Official thread and signing news

I was a bit sour with the amount of outs this season. Some good, some bad. But I’ve arrived at the conclusion that I think our signings combined with the return of injured players completely trumps the losses. A lot of next season will depend on the forward pack, but I think it can work. The back se...

Re: Official thread and signing news

Tend to agree, although both Brandon and Cam have secured massive deals since. Yeah that’s the cost of not being a Star when you do the wrong thing! Star or no star it didn't hurt Jesse. Or was it not that similar? Jesse got a two game suspension, gave up NZ captaincy and stood down from the Storm ...
