I’m loving this matchup, as good as the Dolphins have been going I think they are overachieving, and I think this could be the game we lay down a marker, after knocking off the front runners & a long turnaround into a bye next week, there should be a lot of emphasis on this one, not to mention the Bellamy vs Bennett factor always gets us going plus all the old Storm boys in the Phins line up, at Suncorp too where we typically play well I’m expecting a huge showing from the boys on the back on CB extending his stay another year, us by 13+

Tom Eisenhuth (I am absolutely shocked), Tepai Moeroa and Jayden Nikorima drop out of the squad.

And Grant Anderson has been elevated to the bench with Sims 18th man.

Surely Sims gets the nod, even Wishart would have more value on the bench than Anderson. What is CB obsession with playing him on the bench and giving him no minutes when he does? Strange.

lima lima lima duck me. There has to be an injury cloud over one of the outside backs to be literally wasting a bench spot.

Give Fa'alogo a go then, at least he offers a bit of x factor

So confused over the last couple of seasons of how easy it's been to earn a jersey. Of all the clubs, of all the coaches. Just bizarre.

Another odd thing is we seem to only value two bench spots as well. The other two are only going to play meaningful minutes if there is an injury.

And.... We're playing with 16 again. Anderson onto the bench. Sims 18th man. NAS and Tui swap.

So tonight is Storm VS Storm 2.0
Must be weird for our players to be playing against so many former teammates tonight. Let's hope that only the real Storm players are the ones firing tonight
