Doubt Justin's playing. Probably a late announcement, good thing we have depth there.
Im not sure if Quinn is back yet and how Sisa is with his injury. If none are available then I'd expect Chisolm to come in or Champion to centre with Blair and Nielsen to wing.

I just can not wait for this clash. Is defintley going to be the biggest test the boys have had for awhile. We have had seven wins in a row and I hope we can make it eight. Like the look of our side again this weekend, we haven't had to make many changes for awhile which has been a bonus. Bring on Friday night!

Those young Brisbane boys are abit of a worry though. We need guys like O'Neil, Duffie, Waqa on the wings, who can handle athletilcism and can catch above their heads.

I think Widdop and Manu can give Lockyer abit of trouble in defense.

I keep hearing the hype about 'Lockyer's last game in Melbourne'.
I was present for Alf's last game in Melbourne a while back - Look it up
I made a sign for the occasion "The Winds of Change are Blowing".
They're blowing once again for the farewell of a northern hero.
And the homecoming of a new Storm era.
The more things change............The more we stay the same

I probably sound bad but I really don`t give 2 hoots about it being lockyers last game in Melbourne.I am only interested in OUR TEAM OF CHAMPIONS MELBOURNE STORM.Make his sendoff a bad one STORM and THRASH the donkeys.

i think lockyer has been a good player, but i dont think it warrants all this crap about last game here and there etc.. its not about him, its about a top 4 clash in storm v broncos.

oniell looked like he wont be able to play this week, whats the predictions about his replacment since waqa is out also... quinn? chisolm or niko?? champion in and nielson to the wing maybe blair swaps to the left? im still keen for niko as he plays left wing for easts, but it is a big game so would you go for the experienced quinn? or is there more injuries that i dont know about?

[Go Storm]

^^ I agree ^^

He's not representing QLD or Australia on Friday, he's part of the enemy and should be treated as such.
I understand the club will honor him pre-game, but as soon as that whistle blows it game on!!
Storm will win comprehensively. Even some of our most avid fans will be shocked at how good we are. Those to out North & East will be wetting themselves with fear.
GO STORM!!!!!!

Broncos go hard in preparation for Storm
Coach Anthony Griffin dragged out the padded battle suits at training on Tuesday morning which were later discarded for a full-blooded contact session which had young prop Dumanis Lui seeking medical attention for sore ribs.

He lacks the cunning of Bennett

So be it.Let battle be joined.
Yet for us -

"Do not cry havoc, where you should but hunt with modest warrant."
