7 cronk
8 j brom
9 smith
10 (Maclean) garbutt
11 proctor

We don't drive 2 hours for each home game to suffer a longer 2 hour drive home after a loss.

I'm working on maintaining my unswerving (and I mean unswerving) support of the side by considering the fact that if a couple of decisions had gone our way, we could be sitting 4-5 on the ladder.

Yes, some changes will be required due to injury, but the bulk of the side has carried us through in the past and I believe it will do so again.

You can lose and regain form, but you can't lose talent. We have the talent and we can regain the form.

God help the rest of the N(ew south wales)RL when we do click and put it all together.

I wonder what our backline will look like vs Manly. Does anyone know if Roberts will be available for selection then?

I can see a few possibilities:

1.Slater - Obviously
2.Fonua/Robinson
3.Chambers - Will definitely come back in
4.Fonua/Mann/Robinson/Hunt/Munster
5.Tonumaipeia
6.Hampton/Roberts
7.Cronk

My guess is Robinson comes in for Sisa and Chambers returns in the centres.

Roberts is a potential option at centre as well, if fit.

Wonder if Chambers will be shifted to the left again. Probably... Otherwise it would be new winger, Fonua, Hampton and Hoffman on the left. Manly will slice through that like a warm knife through butter.

Lol, just trying to tell the storm staff that we really want to see him get some game time before we loose him to another team! I think he will stand up and be a real force for us! GAMEBREAKER

Why would we want to play him if he's going to leave ?

We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

He's in a one year second tier deal. He knew what the circumstances were when he signed.
