Re: Finals week 1 vs Dogs
Meaney to fullback, Howarth to centre, Pezet to halfback, and Wishart back to the bench.

Re: Grand Final - Storm v Panthers
I’m excited for next year. Adding NAS and Stefano will make a world of difference. We aren’t getting enough from Welch and Tui, and honestly, I can’t see them being part of our top 17 next year. Howarth will only get better, and I think Blore will have a much bigger year. It was Loiero’s first full ...

Re: Grand Final - Storm v Panthers
Feeling OK about the game tonight. Just checked our round 1 team and both line ups were almost identical. We had reimis Smith, pezet, Joe Chan and Chris Lewis. Now we have Howarth, Munster, Blore, and Lazarus in those positions. I would say it's an improved line up to which we won 8-0 with. My tip ...

Re: Round 5 vs Broncos
Most clubs including us normally go with utility at 14 then carry two forwards & a player that can cover back row & forward if needed. So in saying that, with all players on deck let’s assume chan gets his spot back. 11. Chan 12. Katoa 13. Loiero The bench will then look like this: 14. Sua/W...

As much as I love him we are not getting 900k worth of performance from NAS.

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
Shawn blore for the bears -
11 runs
146m gained
63 post contact metres
1 line break assist
6 tackle breaks
2 offloads
Surely he isn’t stuck behind Lewis?

Re: Trials 2024
If going by that knights game, Chan deserves the 2nd row spot. Had the most energy & enthusiasm out of all our back rowers. Looks like he could turn into a real weapon on the edge, has that aggression to his game as well which is what we lack and desperately need in our pack to match the other t...

Re: Official thread and signing news
I mean regardless if it’s true or not we are going to have to choose one or the other. A 25 year old that’s been struggling with injuries over the years & not knowing if that will continue & most likely won’t get back to 2020 paps or a 20 year old superstar in the making with much more upsid...

Re: Rep Squads and Awards
No excuse next year for him not to be in the team, his playing on the big stage against a star studded Australian team and performing well. If his not in the team we don’t deserve to keep him and I hope he finds another home cause he deserves a spot in first grade and any team would be happy to take...

Re: Preliminary Final vs Panthers @ Accor Stadium
Tui - 9 runs for 66m Welch - 8 runs for 65m Loiero - 8 runs for 60m Eisenhuth - 6 runs for 37m NAS - 6 runs for 40m This is atrocious. No impact or go forward at all. And it’s been a very average season for the top 4 above. We simply need changes. Tui & Welch out next year. Moeroa & Vaalepu ...

Re: Preliminary Final vs Panthers @ Accor Stadium
I said half way through the season we don’t have the forwards to win it, I would have sold my house on that bet. We simply don’t have the go forward and domination in the middle to match Penrith and broncos. If Bellamy can’t see that going into next year, he needs to go. His coaching just isn’t cutt...

Re: Preliminary Final vs Panthers @ Accor Stadium
Not a single forward over 100m .. Our forwards numbers are a joke. Every starting forward for Penrith over 100m. It’s not hard to simply look at Penrith and broncos and see why they are so dominate, they have the best forward packs in the comp which dominate and allow their spine to shine. If Bellam...

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium
Sua'ali'i & Manu out next week & no Hargreaves. If we still can’t win that’ll do me. Either way whether we advance or not, we ain’t beating Penrith in Penrith. I love storm, die hard fan but we just don’t have the backs and forwards to match them. Can’t deny but a Penrith vs broncos GF would...

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium
Second rowers these days need to offer more than just a work rate & tackling. That’s all Trent offers. I’d assume eventually howarth or chan takes his spot.
