Do we have the name of the new coach and the squad for 2014. Any ideas yet for a captain or is that coming after the trials? :-D

Have seen the squad, but why no coach? the Storm appears to be still obsessed with NRL. Other clubs, such as Warriors, regularly give info on their younger players. Warriors have won the NYC and were beaten finalists in 2013. >:(

Matt Adamson is the coach and Marc Brentnall is the Assistant coach.

My tip for captain is Christain Welch but that's just a guess.

I believe he was assistant coach at Penrith in 2007 & 2008.

How did Nelson Asofa-Solomona play? And what position did they have him play in?

I noted the Nines team has been named with some T/Boltz among them ::) . I also noted PPR appears to be out in the cold with the club.

Pride is in the process of being disciplined for issues I will not disclose as im not sure how reliable my source is-and in respect to the kid. Hope it gets sorted asap cos he's too good-he's easily one of our best u20 players.

In regards to the trial against Canberra, most of the forwards and backs played well... new recruit Nelson Asofa-Solomona was offloading at will, breaking the line often-he's a talent.. Eli Vole-I think he's lock,a new recruit aswell- played a solid game-hit anything that came his way strong defender! ... Reuben Rennie and his winger Kirisomi caused havoc on the left side-Kirisomi pulled a big hit on a second rower I think and injured him took him out of the game-he ran hard and bent Canberra's line a few times, and Reuben will def be a future superstar for us, ballskills,offloads,footwork,strength-this kid's got it all.. Vunivalu was the other kid that stood out to me, reminds me of Sisa Waqa- athletic and natural footballer.. does anyone know whether Munster will be playing 20s? It seemed like a really young side that played 2 days ago.. if Munster plays, aswell as Pride and some other kids missing from last year's side our Thunderbolts would be formidable contenders this year. What do you guys think?
