Team is starting to look pretty normal finally.

Let's hope that the outcome wont be dependant on Goal Kicking.

Dean Hawkins to play at Half Back for the Rabbits in only his second game. Dean say hello to Nelson.

One-game rookie Dean Hawkins will play in the halves, pushing Cody Walker back to fullback and Alex Johnston to the wing, with Taane Milne the likely casualty of that switch. Hawkins made his NRL debut against Brisbane in Round 5. At training on Wednesday, Hawkins was running in the halves alongside Benji Marshall, with Walker at the back and Johnston on a wing. Coach Wayne Bennett later confirmed Hawkins will play. It comes after the injury to halfback Adam Reynolds, while Latrell Mitchell remains out suspended.

Wow... Besides the big blokes running at Hawkins (which should definitely happen all night), we need to put up some high balls for Walker and make it a contest. He is short and not experienced at the back. I reckon we can get a few results our way.

Johnston for whatever reason is just a better player on the wing but having a rookie half and Walker at the back no doubt makes them worse off. If we had our older spine in place I'd predict we'd be working over Walker all night with kicks. This halves combo though? Who knows.

Jacks and Eisenhuth drop out

Surprised about Eisenhuth, unless he is injured.

Crook groin.

Could be plenty of shuffling around the lineup as it stands. But I would guess Lewis comes in for Eisenhuth

Likely to be very wet tonight.

Heavy rain in Sydney today as well as Covid hotspots.

The magic round in Brisbane is in danger if the Covid crisis gets worse.

Eisenhuth has had a real break out year

Important round for ladder position as two teams above us play. If we win, we finish the round in either 2nd or 3rd place and 2-4 points behind 1st.

If we lose, we stay in 5th, likely only 2points ahead of the Warriors and the Dragons - and likely 6 points behind first. Our hopes of finishing top 2 would then be very shaky.

Craig and his game day line up games!

Our best half of footy all year. By far. Just beautiful to watch.

20/21 Completions

I hope Bellamy sprays them anyway

Mattpoet you would be loving this game, Josh Addo-Carr moving past GI into 6th on try scorers list and fast closing in on Will Chambers and Suliasi Vunivalu.

Plus 4 tries in a game equal most for Storm - Matt Geyer (twice), Aaron Moule, Jake Webster, Billy Slater, Sisa Waqa, Suliasi Vunivalu and Ryan Papenhuyzen.

FFS can this bloke kick. What goes on at training
