Game day thread?

Kelly - Morgan - Hayne
Foran - Jennings - Gordon

Foran has had a horrid start at eels but when fit he started to look good. At end of day instead of Hayne being used at end of a strike play we use Semi. Just keep in mind if Hayne was here he is the main point of attack so Semi gets less bullets to fire.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Exactly. So?

Hayne is an individual in a team environment. And because he is so influential he is a bad influence.

How long did it take Melbourne? They were minor premiers in 2011 and premiers in 2012.

I hope we bounce back. But i can see us tanking in 2017.

We have been mentally piss weak since Season 1987.

As have you

Then why was Semi the equal leading tryscorer when Hayne was there?

Good point But Semi does get used a lot more in attacking raids now.

In 2014 i thought we should of made finals.Reason we didnt is we had one point of attack - And that was with Norman and Sandow. Teams worked it out and shut us down. We used Hayne to much and did not give Norman or Sandow a fair go.

Why is the storm so good? No crazy dynamite players. Nothing flash.Just everyone knows their job and off they go. Heck Morgan and Blair where the centres and we couldnt create anything till the 79th min

 

[Avenger]

As have you

I've been loyal and frustrated.

Bloody panthers cost me a perfect round- Players spending to much time sukn Goulds knob.

Well you'd know all about that.

If it wasn't for Hayne wouldn't have gone close to the finals in 2009.

Hayne couldn't have done what he did without our forwards going forwards like they did in the back half of the year, particularly Fuifui.

We haven't managed to do it since, except maybe in the first six weeks of this season... before it all turned to shit :lol:

The Storm are so good because they win the play the ball area almost every match. They know the key to success and make sure they achieve it.

Parra seems to have neglected the play the ball area for over a decade...I'm lost to know why.

Reason we didn't make the finals in 2014 was that Hayne phoned it in in the last two rounds, only playing for 40 mins in each game, instead of trying his guts out to keep us in the top 8.

No surprise he walked out on his contract with the club soon after - his heart wasn't in rugby league anymore, and he wanted to chase the fame and glory on the back of his contribution to the state of origin series win.

They did their time and were rehabilitated.

They also waited for the part where they got convicted

 

[hindy111]

Well you'd know all about that.

Yep I tell you what the whole internet is up in arms about your display of loyalty to your favourite player Corey Norman.

f**k you stuck solid with him.

We all wish we had someone like you with is in the trenches.

Loyalty man. That's what it's about.

 

[Avenger]

You know what I mean. It was an awful look and he should have been docked one game minimum. If however there is even more to it like it has been suggested I would have no hesitation in showing him the door.

I still think you are being too aggressive. Corey is no longer a favourite if he hangs with garbage, especially bikies and relatives of murder suspects.

They have strong leadership on and off the field. Our captain has a prescription drug issue

 

[hindy111]

We have variety in the halves
Norman for uppers and Foran for downers

But he's our leader and that costs plenty, apparently. Leaders I hear should lead by example.
