Dissapointing but yet maybe it's what he needs.

I thought it was such big news that it deserved its own thread.

He's playing for North Sydney said foxsports, should be good for him I think.

pretty dissapointing for hill, but he hasnt really been in top form.

hopefully he works his ass off and gets back to his best form.

Weird.  Kaufusi comes back from suspension after playing OK and displaces Blair, who was playing pretty good and Hill comes back from suspension after playing OK and gets a trip up the Hume.

hmmm.... ???

The Bears are playing at 4pm at North Sydney Oval this Saturday if any of the Sydney based Storm supporters want to go and see how how well he plays.

big fan of hill but admittedly he has been off form for sometime now.  He has had patches of good stuff but the last 2 or so years he hasnt really been the hill that we are used to. he should be at lock...but we cant move johnson.

Just on Kaufusi, I though he was again bordering pathetic against Newcastle. He was on for 5 minutes and gave away the 2 penalties that led to Newcastles only try.

This news really, really surprised me, especially seeing as Hill is a member of the leadership group.  Obviously Bellamy would not have made this decision easily.

My son asked a very good question - if Storm (in their current form) are still playing well in 5 - 7 weeks, will Billy be an automatic inclusion into the side?  With Hill being dropped to PL, it really does make you wonder hey?

...and what if Cronk is ruled unfit to play this weekend?  Will Hill be elevated back into the side?  :?

Even though i have seen many Storm games i would like your opinions on a couple of questions:

* Does Scott Hill have a good kicking game? (both close to the tryline and in his own half).
* Does Hill have a good passing game?
* Does he have a good running game?
* Is he a good defender?
* Is he good at organising the team?
* Overall, what are his best qualities?
* Overall, what part of his game is poor?

:lol: I've had him in my CRL PL team for weaks now :lol:

Seriously I'd have thought he'd be a better Centre option than Walker.

ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!

:D :D :D :D :lol: :lol: :lol:

*cartwheels* :headbang: :hello1:

* Does Scott Hill have a good kicking game? (both close to the tryline and in his own half).
David Kidwell has a better kicking game
* Does Hill have a good passing game?
He takes risks which is good but most of the time they ended up the other way because the intended receiver couldn't tell what he was up to
* Does he have a good running game?
Can't remember, not having seen much of him since last year
* Is he a good defender?
Need to look at stats but I vaguely remember him missing more than he makes
* Is he good at organising the team?
Can't even tell if he does!
* Overall, what are his best qualities?
He tries hard (not that he scores tries much :lol: see what I did there?).
* Overall, what part of his game is poor?
Passing. Mainly because they just hardly ever click. He just frustrates me.

By the way, being in a leadership group doesn't exempt you from being dropped or be given special considerations. Glen Lazarus had to play for the Devils once while he was captain of the club.
