Storm v Roosters Rd 2

[Christabella]

Had been waiting for someone else to kick this off, but can't be bothered waiting any more.

Morley will no doubt be gone leaving Crocker free reign to wreak havock, hopefully on the heads of Zoolander and Hansel, aka Anasta and Finch. 

For some reason I await this game more eagerly than the one on Friday night, most probably because I will enjoy the result more.

[Earl]

Yep, hopefully Crocker cuts lose and shows why he plays for Australia at the top of his game.

[Buzz]

I'd like to call for 6 weeks - but I reckon 2 will be the case. I'm only callng for 6 because of Ricky Stuart's call "I just hope that it's not an Adrian Morley bash-up again." Guess what Ricky - it was another Morley bash-up and as per usual, some poor kid will spend a week or two removing Morley's shoulder imprint from his face.

Will any Storm players be missing from the Warriors game? Also will any of the injured players be available?

[Super Cronk]

apprently king was slightly injured in the warriors game..not sure of the extent of injury but hopefully its not to bad.

other then that i think everyone came out ok.

[lotti]

I'll check NRL.com.  Ok so far there's Turner, Glenn he's out until round 6 with an Ankle Injury, Dennis Scott he's out until round 5 with a Neck injury, Scott Anderson who is back in round 3 for our game against the Cowboys he has a Back Injury and of course there's Ben Cross who's out until round 6 with an Ankle injury.  I did check the casualty list with our player list before I posted them.

[Super Cronk]

Yeah the injuries arent as bad as i thought last week.

i hope blair gets a go this week. leave turner out and put an extra prop on the bench in blair.

or if king is out put turner on wing webster at centre and blair on the bench.

[lotti]

yeah but I'm pretty sure Webster isn't a great centre.

[steaming stormer]

he started as a centre lotti...

[lotti]

oh ok.

[Earl]

He scored his hat-trick against Souths all those years ago as a centre. When he came to Melbourne he was a centre.

[Michael :P]

Look for Crocker to made captain and respond with an enormous game against his old team (btw Ricky Stuart is the most over-rated coach in the game). It was no coincedence that Kidwell was captain in NZ and he responed with a good game.

Really looking forward to the clash between Inglis and Soliola, though I expect Inglis to easily out-point him and grab a double.

[Mikey]

I reckon we're a chance this week but I'm backing the roosters. Its really hard to rate the roosters because we jsut don't know what would have happened had Ben Walker not gone down. I suspectthe chooks would have won in a tight game

[Super Cronk]

i think it will be a close game for sure...if both teams play like they did in round 1 then i think roosters might be a little stronger then us.
