Round 10 vs Storm

[redv13]

Why not ? Burns is not a NRL centre so why dont we give the young guys a taste of what NRL is all about in playing Melbourne. What have we got to lose ? The Feagels showed they can take a high ball mark, something that Dufty & Ramsey have struggled with sometimes this year.

I’d play Feagai ( if fit ) bird on the left and Feagai Ravalawa on the right and put Fuimaono back into the middle this week. I can see Kerr getting burned badly on the edge this week if we’re not careful

Grant and Munster are being rested.

Don't buy this.

Aren't they just great for the greater game the Storm?
Magic round, big spectacle, big crowds all looking forward to seeing the best of the best! Yeah nah, leave half the team back in Melbourne to have a rest.
Assholes.

If we get the 2pts then hallelujah baby!!

 

[Gareth67]

I suspect we will get smashed but at least a decent effort for 80 mins

I agree Gareth our only hope is to actually try something that Storm are not expecting and possibly change again at half time after Storm adjust eg throw the ball around and heaps 2nd phase play , exactly what we dont usually do . I cant imagine we can beat them playing traditional footy with our line up

Just so Mjab , with their playmakers out - injured or rested , who cares which - the Dragons do have a chance but only if they try something totally different to their normal game plan .

Bellamy watches the videos of each team the Storm are about to play and dissects each and every play , he then sends his troops out with instructions on how best to take their opponents on .

As I said in my previous post it will be up to Griffin to understand this and to equip his team with a game plan that will turn Storms own plan on its head . It is not impossible , however our boys must have the ‘ can do ‘ attitude to pull it off .

C'mon mate, you don't believe that is possible do you?
Mind you it should be great motivation for Hook.
"Look at these mongrels, they think they can beat you without Munster and Grant!"
Something like that.

I know we’re a bigger chance of winning with those 3 out. Rattle Hughes cage a few times and it’s game on

 

[Dragonslayer]

Max stays on the wing
Fui at centre
Cody on the extended bench

 

[Unsainty79]

Happy to see Poasa back. Think he brings a lot of energy off the bench.
I assume that a forward will drop from the bench and Sullivan or Amone will come on. Fui may move to back row/lock throughout the game.

Rubbish reserve grade team, how dare they disrespect the might red V!!!
And disrespect the whole NRL!
And the Magic round!
They'll still win though, comfortably.

I suggested they would rest a few which they are doing and by game day I won't be surprised if they rest a couple more.

Bellamy doing what Bellamy does to ensure his team has every opportunity at the pointy end of the season.

 

[SBD82]

Has anyone had "sneaky burger"?

Not for a couple of years. But if you like American style cheeseburgers and the like, I’d highly recommend it.

I do think we’ll win this one if we move the ball around, offload, backup & maintain the good goalline defence

...& Benny monitors the rightside linespeed

 

[Coffs dragon]

Has anyone had "sneaky burger"?

A few times in my younger days....before marriage LOL

 

[Inisai Toga]

Storm will he missing Grant, Smith and Munster. Big outs.
Smoothy will come in as hooker I would imagine, Paps or Hynes to 5/8. Geez I'd like Hughes in our team right now.

I’d like Justin Olam, how tough is he!

 

[kit66]

Mind you it should be great motivation for Hook.
"Look at these mongrels, they think they can beat you without Munster and Grant!"
Something like that.

Last time they played us with some players rested we beat them and that was without some handy players ourselves - Hunt, Norman, Ravalawa and Vaughan were all missing.
Every game is winnable with the right attitude and a decent game plan. We proved that against the Eels.
We need Hunt and Norman to show us more of that little combo they had going last Sunday and all the forwards to play with the passion Lawrie displayed against the Dog pack. If we make as many unforced errors as last week we're fooked though so time to step up and complete sets like the big boys.

Don’t forget we beat Melbourne last year when they fielded an under strength team.

Expect plenty of kicks behind Rava with JAC having a field day with his speed.
