Wishart should've rated a mention.

Re: Round 23 V Panthers Friday

What's embarrassing is how much you're throwing your toys out of the cot. The second half has been a pretty good effort all things considered Ignore them.

Re: Round 23 V Panthers Friday

Just when we think it can’t get any worse, we just had how much ball in the red zone and absolutely embarrassed ourselves. EMBARASSING!

Selling Hughes would work. Pezet will be ready for NRL by 2025.

Re: Official thread and signing news

Reimis Smith(27) and Meaney(27) are probably next 2 that we look at re extensions. OOC end of next year. Reimis looks happy enough to stay. I sure hope he does. I think NM will attract a bit of interest given how well he's playing and might leave for a spot in a starting 13. Long term here he probab...

Re: Papi is back!

Nice interview with Paps on the Johns/Fittler show last week. He said they were trying to target a return in 8 weeks, but was subject to change basically on a weekly basis. I think the best case scenario now is for him to play a bench role similar to what he did when Jahrome was fullback. I'd rather...

Re: RD 11 - Storm v Broncos @ AAMI Park (Thur 11 May)

Moeroa is good enough to play 10 different positions the way he's talked about Comment of the season, gold, I had a massive laugh when I read this. Only good game Tepai had was when he was pushing off the back fence against a demoralised Warriors on Anzac day last year. I wouldn't say consistency i...

Do you mean have a Storm team in the NSW or Qld Cups?

Re: RD 11 - Storm v Broncos @ AAMI Park (Thur 11 May)

Sims is the one that needs to aim up, he played SOO last year and was basically bought to replace Jesse and play in the middle. Maybe an edge if required, but at the moment I'm not sure he's even plan B there. Moeroa got game time because of injuries and did little until a couple of games before he ...

Can Ieremia be “de-activated” due to his season ending ACL ? Won’t be back in 2023. I don’t know the answer Mattpoet ….but geeez Noafa looked solid on a wing for Storm last year. Storm wouldn’t do that they don’t cut injured players they back them to come back and play their best Agreed Sally....bu...

Re: Official thread and signing news

It'll be interesting to see what approach we take in regards to recruitment vs retention. We have a fair bit of size in the forwards off contract: NAS, Grant, Sims, Moeroa, King, Eisenhuth (CO) Then we have a few off-contract backs too with some question marks: Ieremia (ACL), Jennings (ACL previous...
