Melbourne Storm Best 17
1. Slater
2. Duffie
3. Chambers (will win the centre spot over injury prone Maurice Blair)
4. Nielsen (needs to score a lot more tries)
5. Quinn (has become a club stalwart and deserves his spot back on the wing, O'Neill had an inconsistant 2011 and has become injury prone)
6. Widdop
7. Cronk
8. Bromwich
9. Smith (C)
10. Norrie (will keep his spot in the starting front row)
11. Manu
12. Proctor
13. Hinchcliffe (deserves a starting spot at lock)

14. Hoffman (unfortunately I doubt he will find a spot in the starting line-up)
15. Kostjasyn (will probably get more game time)
16. Ryles
17. Lowe

[waveydavey]

1.Slater
2.Duffie
3.Blair
4.Neilsen
5.O'Neill (would love to see Quinny here, but think that O'Neill is the future and needs games under his belt)
6.Widdop
7.Cronk
8.Bromwich
9.Smith
10.Norrie
11.Proctor
12.Hoffman (I still believe that Hoffy can do the job)
13.Hinchcliffe (earnt his spot in 2011)

14.Manu (will make big metres coming on after 20 mins)
15.Ryles
16.Kostjasyn
17.Lowe (I think he earnt his bench spot towards the end of 2011)

Sika, Ryles and Vave on the bench gives us some really good size and go forward. I'm looking forward to seeing how Vave goes this year. I only saw him once last year but I thought he was really hard to handle and put down. I have to admit I'm starting to get really excited about how we're looking for this year. Roll on round 1
