Storm got pumped today by the Broncs. We were probably the better team in the 1st half without dominating.

Of the new guys Ben Meehan and Josh Tunnicliffe looked solid, Richie Kennar went ok as well, hard to bring down, just needs ti improve his defence Dean Britt looks like a promising player as well, nothing like his old-man, tall and gangly. Didnt like Some Avuaa in the centers out side McGahan, hopefully Wiliame is OK to play there in 2 weeks.

And its amazing to see the growth in Pays coaching the past 3 years, the plays he runs now are amazing.


Ps That was sarcasm btw.

Team for Saturdays televised game v the Raiders.

I hope Wiliame and Hampton are missing through injury as that team wont go far like that (I did like the look of Ben Meehan though). Some isnt suited to center anymore and they should persist with him at backrow.

Also Im sure he's a top bloke but Constantinou as your starting 13 just isnt going to cut it

I hope not. Dont know much about Hobbs, backrower who has OK size.

It will be interesting to see what thay do with Hampton this year. Kelly is the 7 at Easts Tigers and the Sharks have young Chad Townsend so where does that leave Ben if they arent going to play him NYC. Silly not to keep him in NYC but then again Ive been perplexed by a few decisions that have been made under Pays "guidance".

I hope this is his last year as NYC coach.

That would make sence then. Played more 6 then 7 as a yougn and game is probably better suited to the role. I also think he'd be a superstar at fullback.

Thanks Chip, looks like Tohu is getting a run today :-D
