Bah.....Crocker(Im assumin you dont mean Croker from the Raiders) is an idiot.He cant help but bring trouble,and the Storn plays a style of game that dies if they get penalised.

I think he could be more harm than he is worth for them.

Im not so sure about Ross either...seems to spend a lot of time on the sideline and gives away a few penalties per game.If he can cut out the silly stuff he is top class,but.....did you see the push on the ref??Gee I thought he was lucky to get away with that.Thats the kind of silly stuff he ge ts into.

Could be.

But the Storm has a culture that turns reject hot heads into great team players (most of the time :lol:)

Chan, King (made him a star), Matt Rua, Nikau. Just to name a few.

Maybe hot heads was not the right term.

How about the Storm has a histroy of getting the best out of the players that play for them. ;-)

Pffft....like I thought......youve got nothing.Chan is in more troublw at the Storm than he was at Parra.

And those other bloke werent hotheads.

All the Storm is good for is pilfering talent from other teams juniors.

people said that about Hodges for the broncos, but he has been a clean skin all yr in terms of niggle and stupid penalties.

Crocker could change down at the storm...he will be out of the public eye and at a new club. Sometimes it takes the change of a club to change ones habits and attitude

Very good point.....BUT....Hodges did have a fairly good record with Bennett prior to his Rooster days,I dont remember any silly stuff at all....when he went back there it was easier to fit back in under Bennett.

But.......Crocker has always been a nut,and I think the Storm have got him for that reason,to niggle and play that agro game that he does.I just think that this could Storm a lot of trouble,they lose their momentum once the penalties start and they rely on momentum more than any other team I have seen.

Guess we will have to wait and see how it pans out,but surely if you by Crocker you want him to play like he does.Not try and tone him down.

Jamaal Lolesi. I think he will add a bit to an already impressive backline for the Tigers. Has done well wherever hehas ended up at in the past.

He certainly will... Lots of penalties to the opposition.

i dont think he will..look at the turnaround in justin hodges this yr under a different coach .Gone is the niggling bullsh*t ,turnstile defence ,&bad attitude.
I think Crocker will be the buy of the season next yr under Bellamy as he wont tolerate the crap that is part of crockers game at the moment.

Ricky must not be able to control his agressive players if Crocker can go well at the Storm.

I think Crockers move to Storm is gonna be fantastic, he's got talent, and Bellamy will make sure he stays in line. He'l be a real stand out performer for them nxt year.
