Match Discussion: Round 8 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton

[Jono078]

So normally I wouldn't be scared of Mann being ruled out.. BUUUUUUT gee whiz. Storm will do whatever they want with us.

 

[ryan.a87]

Mann is out

Maybe he has been playing injured?

would explain his poor performances for the last 3 years

 

[perverse]

Mann is out

Interesting. Out of the squad entirely. Must be injured?

Well earned rest to get back into ball-playing mode. Have him firing on all cylinders for the Cowboys.

Seems odd that they didn't announce that he was withdrawn from injury.. Perhaps he was dropped? Seems hard to believe they'd drop him for Crossland though

 

[Frederick]

Great, now we get even more of Crossland

f**ks sake

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Still think the bloke is a backrower.

The way the game is going they are almost interchangeable now

 

[aqua_duck]

Crossland to get another 60 or so minutes of game time to do absolutely nothing as usual

 

[Loose Cannon]

We really have the ability to replace incompetence like-for-like. Got to admire our consistency.

 

[Apey]

Crossland at lock fmd.

At least Storm will be entertaining.

 

[Sir Galahad]

when I read Mann was out I got excited........then I scrolled down the page and read he's been replaced by Crossland.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

I'm assuming Sue will swap with Phoenix and start at lock... Not that that's much better though

That would mean truly going back to 1-out AOB ball. Sure to work a treat against Melbourne.

With AOB's inside knowledge of Melbourne and how best to beat them, I look forward him implementing that exact gameplan today...

If we don't offload 2-3 times in the first 5 minutes and look to spread the ball coming out of our own end, I'm going to be bitterly disappointed.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

JUST HAVE A GO YOU F**KING merkinS

 

[Apey]

JUST HAVE A GO YOU F**KING merkinS

Instructions unclear, no go will be had.

Andrew John’s is the man with plan re attack.

Yet no one is questioning why we have gone away from the structures we used in the first 2 and a bit games up till the hot head was sent off.

Nah f**k that, I've got Munster, Grant, Coates and Papi in supercoach. I want the Storm to score more than last week

 

[Willie Ray]

We conceded barge over tries to Andrew McCullough and Aiden Tolman....
let that sink in a little and then remember that
Smith,Grant and Asofa Solomona are playing today.

Enjoy those fleeting seconds. Going to be sometime before you feel that way again.
