Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park

Thought Reimis was a bit ... Meh... Tonight but maybe that's due to how electrifying Paps was all night and Meany was in the first half. Reimis needs to help out with a few more tough carries, but once again he made some excellent 1-1 tackles at crucial times. He also did very well in that try to g...

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park

We were physically dominated for probably 60 minutes. Definitely need more from our forwards.

Welch getting HIA didn’t help, but we were once again looking for the cheap/easy option far too often, rather than knuckling down and fighting out of it.

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park

Much like the game against the Sharks a few years ago, that second half was putrid and I was sure we were done. After the excellent defensive effort of last week, I was disappointed to find myself thinking this is going to be another one of those years. Perhaps premature, but it crossed my mind. Lov...

Re: Official thread and signing news

“Highly paid” sounds similar to when they say “star player”. Literally could be anyone.

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park

Unrelated to our centres…

One other thing that stood out to me in the replay - McDonald finds his front better than any of our forwards. Almost always. Even when two and three defenders are on him. He will be great for us this year.

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park

In terms of offence… Meaney 40th Minute - Meaney gets over but can’t get the ball down in time. Should have. 45th Minute - Meaney coughs it up 10m out from our try line. Lucky to not concede points from the ensuing set. Reimis 14th Minute - Reimis under pressure, quick pass the Coates who had to rea...

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park

In terms of defence… Meaney 12th Minute - Meaney comes in when he doesn’t need to and May breaks the line, running 30m. 60th Minute - Taylan May shrugs off Meaney. Cover defence tackles May. 71st Minute - Panthers overlap and Taylan May looks likely to score but trips over his own feet. For some rea...

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park

Watched the replay. Specifically wanted to take another look at our centres. I was skeptical of Meaney playing there this year and Reimis doesn’t get much love from Storm fans (I rate him though). Overall, I think both guys did an excellent job. Izack Tago and Taylan May look to be the most damaging...

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park

I think after last year with Trent on the edge, Bellamy knows we need more attacking effort on both edges. It can’t be all Eli again…

Joe looked strong early. But then he went quiet and his defence fell away and reading between the lines from Bellamy, I think he was disappointed with that.

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park

I would think that Sua could only play in the starting line as a 1. With time and experience, he might be able to be an effective ball running 6. Outside of fullback, the super sub approach seems his most likely route into first grade and then see how the season pans out with injuries and opportunit...

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park

No chance I would drop Warbrick for Sua - and I love Sua. Forget the metres stat alone, Warbrick took tough carries all night when we were parked on our try line, often the first carry off a turnover/slow play the ball when the defence were in our face. Those are the toughest carries in RL. As amazi...

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park

The obstruction was the correct call, regardless of Panther fans tears online.

Hughes may not have been impeded, however Meaney turns in on a man he otherwise wouldn’t have needed to. Panther player ran behind his own man. Stop crying and accept it.

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park

Yep, Coates was my MOTM. Excellent effort on both sides of the ball. Great defensive game from the boys. I will say that the Panthers blew a couple of tries, but so did we. If we can do that consistently this year, we win a lot more games than we lose. Proud of that one… The duck egg against the Pan...
