Re: Official thread and signing news

Rumours of Averillo being squeezed out at the Dolphins. Always loved this guy. Pace to burn, versatile. Would be a great pick up. Like Meaney, possibly higher ceiling…

Re: 2026 trials

Maybe it was part of the farewell agreement? Plus a lot of the Queenslanders will enjoy some time in their “home” state maybe?

Re: Official thread and signing news

I’d be happy to pay Tino what NAS and Tui got combined as you will get twice what both of thiose guys outputted in 2025.

But challenge will be leaving enough to upgrade Harry.

Re: Official thread and signing news

I believe we need but may not get 1. A big body to replace NAS - Stefano needs a wingman. 2. A decent half back / hooker cover with Garlick and Pezet not around 3. An outside back as we rarely got the first choice 2-5 on the field last year. We will miss Anderson but hopefully Leo can fill that role...

Re: 2025 NRL Grand Final Storm v Broncos

Finally got round to looking at the stats. One thing stood out - bench contributions. not for the first time.. I realise we had limitations due to McDonald and Howrth injuries but this means the bench players remaining should have done more… Compare these two - and I’m not aiming at the players. I t...

Re: 2025 NRL Grand Final Storm v Broncos

I don’t really want to join the Paps debate but here goes: His efforts on one of the Shibaskai tries and Walsh try were poor. Reflective of someone who has lost confidence due to metal toll of multiple serious injuries. I don’t think you can play top level like that. Forget Billy comparisons, most o...

Some perspective

I am still gutted and last night will sting for a while. But as someone who started watching NRL and supporting the Storm in 2016 that’s 6 finals in 10 years. Sure would have loved to have won a few more. There’s 4/5 minor prems in there too. There was huge effort last night. We couldn’t quite ice i...

Re: 2025 NRL Grand Final Storm v Broncos

How many try scoring opportunities did we bomb in the last 15 minutes FFS This - despite a terrible 2nd half it was still there for the taking! Not sure what the spine were doing. It was like watching NSW butcher an origin game… Not attempting a kick to Coates, Paps flick pass to Warbrick, Katoa / ...

Re: 2025 NRL Grand Final Storm v Broncos

Wah - or just forget the 2021 season where we smashed everyone (I think we had a points difference of nearly 500!) only to lose a tight prelim to Riff. For parts of 2024 we were fantastic too. Hot day in Sydney. Will be warm at kick off still but will drop off… Got to be good with the ball today. Ho...

Re: Preliminary Final vs Sharks

Terrific win with tremendous D.

Some work on the Attack needed but plenty of green shoots. Stefano was HUGE!

Re: Preliminary Final vs Sharks

Really solid win.

Continuance scored more but the defence and spine were fantastic.

Stefano was on another level too.

Re: Finals week 1 vs Dogs

Coming of age from Pezet - top class.

Some great efforts from Stefano, Munster and a few others. Had enough. Could be smarter in attack and Dogs injuries helped. But I’ll take the W

Re: Finals week 1 vs Dogs

Bit of a wild suggestion but could we see Howarth in second row and Seve in centre or Meaney to centre/Munster to 1?

We’ve got have Howarth out there somewhere and I like Pezet at 7
