Re: Official thread and signing news

TBH I’d take -

1.Paps/Meaney
6. Munster
7. Pezet
9. Grant

Along with Haas in the team.

Rather then -

1. Paps/Meaney
6. Munster
7. Hughes
9. Grant

With no Haas in the team.

Re: Official thread and signing news

Good signing if there’s a way to fit him under the cap, I don’t know how we could possibly fit him under the cap though.

Re: Roosters v Storm: Round 20

Paps been training with the team and back to practising goal kicking, and I’m assuming when he has his first game back they will want it to be a home game for the fans and to have the fans cheering behind him giving him confidence on his first game back after so long. So if he was to actually come b...

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

I wanted billy.

Another club will offer him big money in a few years when his ready and we will lose our champion unfortunately.

Re: 2024 Squad

Another top tier middle forward that continuously bends the line with aggression should be our number target.

I like the look of Lazarus Vaalepu so far, if he continues to develop his game he could be a great addition on the bench.

Re: RD 8 - ANZAC Round v Warriors (AAMI Park)

Now this performance is something to be proud of. I'll acknowledge that NZ are out on their feet, but in the arm wrestle of the game they had more troops available. Nelson filling in for Katoa is a better outcome than had Katoa played the full game. Nelson doesn't need to touch the ball and NZ are ...

Re: RD 8 - ANZAC Round v Warriors (AAMI Park)

Hughes kicking is super average. We really lack & miss having that organising halfback with a good on field kicking game. We didn’t notice it much with cam smith still in the team cause smith made up for it with his superb smart kicking, but we really do lack it from our halfback. Glad we got th...

Re: RD 8 - ANZAC Round v Warriors (AAMI Park)

We need another big aggressive forward like NAS.

With him on the field we are just much better, our other forwards just don’t really offer that aggression and grit that all the other top teams packs have.

Re: Round 5 Rabbitohs v Storm

We need the size and he picks Anderson over sims? Joking right!!??

How Anderson even gets picked over sims, pene & howarth is beyond me. We need the size and aggression on the bench especially with NAS out already..

Re: Queensland Cup

If someone is going to replace Trent it should be howarth. It’s not like his playing bad either.. on the weekend 144m, 74 post contact metres, 2 tackle breaks, 4 offloads, 18 tackles

How Trent is picked in front of him again after two bad performances is mind boggling.

Full strength besides Munster, NAS, Paps.

Good to see we are getting back 4 of our top 17 players!

Re: Round 2 v Bulldogs at AAMI Park

Sim’s, Fa'alogo, Howarth, Pezet & Vaalepu need to be given a crack now/when fit. Better early in the season then later.
For all we know these are the type of players that will make a difference when we are full strength/need fill ins for injuries.

Re: Round 2 v Bulldogs at AAMI Park

Nothing against Anderson, but IMO just don’t see much in him and don’t see any real potential. Doesn’t offer much speed & strength & isn’t a strong ball carrier either. In this age of the nrl you have to have at least one of those attributes in the backline. It’s why Penrith have been so dom...

Re: Storm Vs Eels Commbank stadium

Was just looking through the stats of the eels game & dam MacDonald is a gun!

Only played 34 minutes & managed 28 tackles & 90 run metres, he has to be on the bench every week.

Re: Storm Vs Eels Commbank stadium

Again. My big concern is Howarth, on 500k per year but can’t seem to crack the top 17 with so many injuries to the backs & forwards.. if he can’t now he never will.. And if the current back rowers cement their spot, we have a 500k per year player that’s ment to be the next big thing playing benc...
