No one at the moment . I am just asking about the lad’s development.

Watched the tigers game …they ended up losing (again) no one was outstanding really
Jonah had a mixed bag for his debut defended well on his line and stopped at least 1 try which was really impressive but also his kicking basically lead to 1 or 2 try’s in the first half one which was kick straight into the hands of delouise hoiter who passed to David mead who then ran the length of the field for a try and I’m not sure he kicked much in the second half

Jordan Grant named in the QCUP team of the week and Jack Howarth gets a special mention for his contribution "who made 143 metres off 11 runs and four tackle breaks".

Young T, Johns, Howarth, Warbrick and Wishart (named at prop!) played today in a win for the Falcons. Interstingly, Howarth was named in the 2nd row for (maybe?) the first time in Q Cup.

He would have been playing the lock role I'd guess

Didn't see the game but the Storm boys all had tremendous games from a stats perspective. They read very well!

John bucahnan is quitting as Brisbane tigers coach …not sure if it’s immediately or end of year but say they will start looking now

Good. Some names for next week's Storm squad.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

I’d be buying faatape and toomega from the tigers …can’t do much worse then who we are playing now

Fair call Sallymay. Looks like either Young Tonumaipea back next week or Will Warbrick debut.

Still surprised we didn't promote Jonathon Reuben a few years back.

Or both, if Seve is injured. Some fair stats from both players in Qld Cup last week:
Will Warbrick 243 run metres, 80 post contact metres, 2 line breaks, 6 tackle breaks.

Young Tonumaipea 166 run metres, 66 post contact metres, 1 line break, 4 tackle breaks, 2 offloads, 1 try.

But if Munster is back and Seve is fit, dollars to donuts, he just moves Meaney to the wing and runs out the same backline

Faataape has some great highlights. Build very strong and low to the ground - similar build to Matt Utai just a bit taller. I agree cant be much worse than what we are putting out currently.

Cant see Bessies highlights but his stats look better than Faataape.
