Another tough away trip on a Thursday night.

Let's see what lineup we go with this week, hopefully a few more ins?

Boys need to win tough, it won't be an easy night.

Grant will go out. I was hoping we would get Loeiro back, but he's listed as indefinite.

I imagine Meaney will move to 6, Dean back to the wing. Then it will be interesting to see if Nikorima gets another chance this time from the bench, or if they go back to Wishart.

Yeah, forgot we won't have Origin players... no Munster and Grant.

Hopefully Nicho gets picked for NSW

If we can make some predictions, I am calling a Sua Faalogo debut. Note I called Nelson's debut all those years ago.

Is it too early to look at Pezet at 6?

After his game today for Brisbane tigers I don’t want to see Jonah in first grade till at least next year …playing against boys he was amazing playing against men he was rocks and diamonds …he threw so many hospital passes and threw an intercept for Redcliffe to score dropped a ball close to the line for Redcliffe to score another then threw a tantrum at the ref and was told off all in the first half
Second half he then saved a try on the try line and went close to scoring a try ..put on a try for BJ and kicked a ball to the corner that almost lead to a try

Love the kid but not first grade yet

Went back to playing Thunderbolts after a taste of Q Cup. I'd be surprised.

Team lists up

I like Wishy at 14, I wonder how far Young is off too? Forwards need to step up this week especially Jesse. Nelson was the only one who fired a shot last week

GONNA BE A TOUGH GAME! CMON STORM STEP UP BOYS!

That's huge, their best 2 players IMO. Evens it out a bit now with all our outs.

Going to be a huge $hitfest considering all the top grade origin players won't be playing (which is a massive joke in itself, considering the game isn't being played on the moon and players have 6 days to back up) and the amount of rain $hiney has copped over the last week or so. I will only be watching if their is nothing better on.

It will be wetter than a fish's arsehole out there.

Ronaldo to score a hat trick. Put your house on it.

Honestly, if the forwards play as poorly and seem as uninterested as they did last week against the Cronulla pack then it won’t be a contest regardless of who the Sharks have out or how the conditions are.

Their wingers are lethal try scorers too. I’m just hoping the pack comes out firing and tries to get the ascendancy early.
