[sallymay]

Was actually worried about this game but for some reason with Moses and Tui out it kinda looks stronger then before

Nick Meaney back means Harry isn’t kicking

The only worry now is Lagi Brian too will have a field day so gotta look out for that side but I’m not as worried as before

[nacho]

May the Easter Bunny and sweet baby Jesus have mercy on our souls

[sheet_ed]

Is Jack Howarth really playing? He left with a groin issue at half time?

[sallymay]

Was a hip pointer injury not groin but who really knows Proberly why Manaia is in the squad

[Mattpoet]

To be fair, I'd expect Waitere to be in the squad anyway. Surprised no Peel in the extended bench as cover though.

[stormysunshine]

Anyone at Captains Run today? Any late changes? Howarth in?

[Storm_M_36]

Made a whole lot harder with the Klown as ref.

Actually I did working from home minus actually being at home is fun

Boys looked good Proberly one forced change will come out later tonight anyway JH out for MW

[sallymay]

Jack howarth out officially Manaia replaces him

Will and Manaia looked good this morning so I’m comfortable with it

[Mattpoet]

Concerned we don't have any outside backs cover on the bench though, especially since Penrith like to deliberately hurt guys

[Storm_M_36]

I'm hoping that Munster has a blinder tonight and rips the Riff Raff apart, after his last two poor performances. He needs to step up and treat tonight as an elimination final. Just like the rest of the team. Tonight's match will show where the Storm are in 2026!!

Win= We are back baby!
Lose by -10 points= We are doing ok, but there's work to do to be able to match the Donkies and Raff!
Lose by 20+= Seasons not over but questions will be asked of the playing group!!

Personally I hope he treats it as an origin game.

Do you really believe this? They have a tough defence and incredible line speed. But they are no dirtier than any other top 4 side

[TC]

I hate to be negative, but I think we are going to get cheesed*. Based on the last 2 weeks, I can see the Panthers running through Storm's edge defence all night.

*(Like creamed, but harder).
