Re: Official thread and signing news
We are not talking about a healthy player here. If there is a team out there willing to give him $1.5 million a season then good luck to them. This. If we try and win a bidding war for a player with such serious injury issues, we are setting ourselves up for failure. Even $750K is a gamble, but fee...

Re: Player of the year awards
Storm Player of the Year vote tally;
Hughes - 37
Grant - 19
Loiero - 18
Warbrick - 16
Katoa not even in the conversation is insane. Does anyone know how the votes are officially tallied?

Re: Grand Final - Storm v Panthers
Thanks Yanjarra. Good read. Hard to argue with almost all of that.

Re: Official thread and signing news
I too feel bad for Welch, but the time has come. We should be actively looking at a player swap or helping him get a deal elsewhere and releasing him early.
His GF game was nightmare stuff.

Re: Official thread and signing news
So apparently we have tabled a 3 year, million dollar per season offer to Paps.
I love Paps. I really do. But this really sounds like a risky deal for the club.

Re: Grand Final - Storm v Panthers
Our great line speed from recent weeks was no existent against the Panthers. Probably due to fatigue. But even when there was the (rare) slow play the ball, we sat back and waited for the attacking Panthers players to come to us and it just exacerbated our problems. 53 missed tackles + 27 Ineffectiv...

Re: Grand Final - Storm v Panthers
Panthers tackle style continues to avoid any scrutiny whatsoever, with genuine attempts to rip the ball out in two man tackles virtually every set. They get results from it through “errors” or a slow ruck. Panthers players were arrogant and filthy all game. Standing over Storm players for no reason....

Re: Grand Final - Storm v Panthers
Munster “bite”. Alamoti had a tight choke around Munster’s chin, then repositioned Hillsong he could ram his forearm into Munster’s face and mouth. I could not see anywhere where Munster bit down on the bloke ripping his face off. Remember when grapple tackles were frowned up and you would miss a pr...

Re: Grand Final - Storm v Panthers
We knew going in that we would not get a single benefit of the doubt from the referees. The Howarth try. The decision by the bunker I am kind of ok with. It looked like a try, but I can see the argument that Howarth’s own arm was in the way. Having said that, the Klein decision to send it up as No T...

Re: Grand Final - Storm v Panthers
The Panthers second try was very smart, seeing how hard our blokes were working from the inside, to swing it back the other way and give their outside men some space. Munster just standing in no mans land. Not putting his body in front of a Panther player. Very embarrassing and obviously not what we...

Re: Grand Final - Storm v Panthers
As mentioned, our forward pack was completely dominated. We could not bend the Panthers line all night. The rotation is being questioned and fair enough. Surely the plan was not to give Laz 9 minutes and pull him off? Welch was horrific. Came on seemingly to just drop off tackles. 17 tackles, 6 miss...

Re: Grand Final - Storm v Panthers
Ergh… Always tough Monday after a GF loss. The game went so quick and it felt like at stages, stoppages just weren’t happening for long stretches. Bitterly disappointing as I thought we were so well placed to get this one. Credit to the Panthers, they were just too good. That boring game plan contin...

Re: Grand Final - Storm v Panthers
Nerves really kicking in now. No idea how this one plays out.
We have been the best team all year and the most consistent. I feel we are deserving but need to pull it together one last time.
Best of luck guys.
