I no longer have confidence or trust in either the coach or the players ability to function as an effective cohesive team.

PROVE ME WRONG :evil:

That would be lovely if Hinchy returned. We really have missed him.

So watching the final training run today I got a few ideas of how the team will run out

Hinchy trained with the team the whole session...so add him
Slade trained for 3 minutes and spent the rest of it on the side line
Bobby Blair trained for 5 minutes then spent the rest of the time with Slade
Ryles Hinchy Moors and Setu will be the bench
And according to Vave he could play a second game if he was asked lol
Young was training in Billy's spot for 10 minutes while billy talked to Craig
Young told me he didn't play nsw cup cause duffie was playing so he got a rest but Craig said he could warm up with the team tomorrow

Agreed. Probably would have preferred Vave for Setu though (had he not been told to play NSW Cup).

Speaking of dogs, I assume G Stewart, Watmough and Matai will still be playing.

I like how in light of Cronk, Slater and Smith talking up "mutual respect" in press opportunities ahead of tonights game, the scum's young stand in fullback has come out in the media stating his hatred for the Storm, regardless of the fact that he has never played against us... Fingers crossed some high Cronk bombs, followed by some sickeningly heavy hits are headed his way.

If there is one MUST WIN game in our regular season schedule, it has to be us vs the scum at AAMI (followed closely by us vs the scum at Brookvale).

Not shocked that a old man finds it hard to understand what i said,to busy using devil smiley non stop to read properly

I'll dumb it down,we've only won twice in melbourne,both times missing The Prince of Brookvale,the win in 2010 was
recorded 2 days before the second book was found

Why wouldn't they be playing? Also Hiku has played against melbourne in NYC and has already figured its a club rotten
to the core with grottyness :P Probably Cameron Smith has been teaching the kiddies how to chicken wing,rolling
pin,grapple,sign 2 contracts,cry about "stolen" premierships,etc >:D (the above will get many bites and could be considered
as a few things,but its meant as harmless jibber jabber,if taken to heart please lighten up)
Go Storm

I heard an interview with Robbie Kearns on the radio today. He said although all the talk is about mutual respect from the clubs, the truth is that we hate each other!! Bring it on!!!

GO STORM!!!!
