Actually don’t mind this team …

give Angus a chance over Daavy
Gabe in the team somewhere especially since they are playing in his jersey

Why would you bring Munster back when they were talking 5 weeks with a knee injury?
Season's gone we may as well let him get some recovery time in and blood the young halves.

I seeing sone rumours that Hughes wont be back for the season due to the regularity of the hammy injuries. It wouldn't surprise me.

Unpopular opinion I know....but surely there must be some school of thought that we have already seen the absolute prime of both Cam & Jahrome in a Storm jersey.

I think Jahrome has slightly more left in his body than Cam....but the generation next is banging the door down to take their places (especially Watson).

Where has Durkin gone sallymay....he doesn't appear to have played NSW Cup for a while. Injured?

I have been quite concerned by Hughes running and speed when they stopped using a clock to time him and started using a calendar.

I don't think Hughes and Munster are going to be in our next deep finals run. Definitely not Munster I think Hughes has way more to offer then Munster going forward.

I think last years gf loss is going to linger in how were are going to remember this post big 3 era of senior players.

I don’t get Munster returning either and while I can believe it I still can’t believe Bellamy bothered to name Meaney again.

So cool we’ve taken a home game to Perth. Imagine if we were good and needed a home game to push for a finals spot.

Last I heard he had a leg injury …not sure what type though …I saw him at the cup game last week …wasn’t in a moon boot and didn’t have a brace on his leg so who knows

Happy to have Hughes and Munster on ice until next year. Need another few looks at Satrick and Huen before this horrendous year is over.

Why rush Howarth back as well? He's clearly not fit.

I think it just proves Bellamy has his favourites.

Very unpopular opinion but I think we need a match committee rather than a one person authority.

The (maybe) unpopular opinion is we need to move on from Bellamy.

I'd suggest that whether it's Bellamy or a match committee select the team at the moment is an opinion that we as punters will never find the answer. It may be a match committee already that Bellamy has the last word on, but we'll never know. Also moving on from Bellamy will happen soon enough but would you still apply that criteria if we had a full team and we're playing finals?

I have soured on his tactics and bench usage the last few season so I wouldn't be against change. I've also not liked how he's downplayed losing grand finals. I don't think he's sent the right message to the fanbase or to his playing group (at least publicly anyway).
