"Leon Panapa was able to salvage some scoreboard pride for the Tigers but it was a day to forget for Easts, with the Tigers also losing Melbourne Storm contracted winger Elijah Niko to a knee problem midway through the second half."

this on the storm website, anyone know how bad it is?

As far as I know it's nothing too serious and he'll be right to play against Mackay. Chisholm, Niko and Jaiman Lowe lining up for Easts.

Maybe Thommo will be back next week?? Or maybe he just needs to improve his match fitness.

All three Storm chaps were really good today.

Lowe carried defenders in each carry. Niko ran with more purpose than I've seen from him this season - he had this incredible 60m run off a scrum where he got through the first line of defence and then stepped around and barged his way past about 5 others, got dragged down just before the line though.

Chisholm played five-eighth, was a mixed bag considering it was his first game there for the club. Looked a bit lost at times but came up with some good stepping runs and long kicks. The coaches are keen to persist with him in that spot.

Sharks lost 20-10 against lowly Manly, dissapointing. Gee Niko sounds the goods, can't be far off a debut.

He'll get better, was good very good there at NYC level and had some decent games at 7 last year in NSW Cup.

Hopefully the wife's ok with that.. :P

Just the two Storm guys named for Round 10, Niko on the wing and Chisholm at five-eighth. Not exactly sure what the story is with the likes of Kelly, Johnson and Lowe at the moment.
