according to big league this is storms strongest line-up:

1.slater
2.Duffie
3.Neilson
4. Blair
5.quinn
6. Widdop
7.cronk
8. Bromwich
9.smith
10. Ryles
11. Manu
12.Hoffman
13. Lowrie

14. Hinchy
15.Proctor
16. Lowe
17. Norrie

For starters. Just a few changes.
Oneil should be in the Backline, quinn I don't think should be on the wing, would rather Waqa, fonua, chambers ect..
Proctor should be starting and should be deffintally ahead of Lowrie! don't think lowe should be on the bench, he hasn't had much pre season training. Been injured . greenfield or vave should take that spot.
The rest is all good I think. ?

1.Slater
2.Duffie
3.Neilson
4. O'Neill
5.Quinn
6. Widdop
7.Cronk
8. Bromwich
9. Smith
10. Norrie
11. Proctor
12. Hoffman
13. Hinchy

14. Blair
15. Manu
16. Greenfield/Garbutt/Vave
17. Ryles

I'd be happy with the above, but whatever team Bellyache puts out there I'm happy to trust his judgement, favourites or non-favourites, I believe he picks the team to do the job.

Reading the big league today why does the storm put mahe height at 185cm unless they measured him wearing manolo blahnik stilettos. If he's a bees dick over 180 I'm not here.

The last Canberra game I went to, most of our guys were sitting in the lower tier of the grandstand side.
But yeah I don't really know.

In the nrl magizine that came in the sunday herald today it also showed storms strongest line-up,
same backline:
1.slater
2.duffie
3.neilson
4.blair
5.quiin

the forwards the same:
8.bromwich
9.smith
10.ryles
11.manu
12.hoffman
13.proctor

bench, is nothing like it will be:
14.hinchy
15.norrie
16.kostjayson
17. lowrie

now that bench has no size what so ever. you dont need 3 backrowers which also have not much impact. who ever wrote this obviously doesnt know what their doing.

bench i'd go with:
14. hinchy
15.norrie( or ryles depending on who starts)
16.garbutt
17. greenfield/vave/tohu harris

i'd like to see a big bench this year. manly ,warriors ect have 3 big forwards on their bench and seems to work will for them. thats the main reason we lost it against the warriors, we lacked size.

the main reason we lost against the warriors was because cronk had a shocker. We got down their end enough but his kicking game was terrible

His kicking game has always been just above average despite his reputation imo.

The only way Ryles will start is through injury/rep duties. As for Cronk and his kicking game hopefully Gaz has a bit more confidence to take over the kicking options (besides his usual bombs) this year. Need an option outside of Cronk...
