No, perfect opportunity for Timm etc but in his mind better to pick a near ( no where near ? ) NRL standard player rather than give experience to a pathways player to see what he can do .

You have nailed it, he will not be here next year so let’s give Timm a taste of first grade especially against his old club, even if it was only for the normal 5 minutes that the moron uses the 4th bench player for.

I realise we are down on forward strength big time BUT surely Kaufusi should be in the run on squad. We need someone that can play long minutes - i cant see luccy or lats lasting long.. And all the forum that have been saying Timm is worth a shot he cant even make the 17 and yet allgood grabs a spot WTF... I hope coachy rearranges the 1 to 17 as id like timms in and i think Ford is worth a shot. Fatigue is going to play into storms hands and i keep thinking of last years game and this year i feel we are at more of a dis advantage . Of course our esteemed coach has 5 SOO players out but as we have pleaded time after time blood the new guys for more than 5 minutes so they are at least a bit prepared. I think we may run out of interchanges and may have to try and resort to touch on thursday night as the forwards are going to be very tired But i will still support the team . I just hope the guys arent thrown under the bus for not doing the hard stuff

Storm missing 6 to origin and we’re missing 5, and 4 to injury or suspension. An opportunity presents itself to trial a few development players, who have been going well, and the coach opts to play the “ haven’t beens” that aren’t going well. He’s failed his first test, now watch him sit Kerr on the bench for 75 minutes. The biggest difference between the two teams is the coach.

Nicholls, Allgood & Latimore being picked says it all.
None will be here next year but we must pick them this game because coach loves "experienced players" in must win game situations of which we lose most.
Of all the games he needed to pick a back on the bench this is the one and he doesn't do it and we need to strengthen the middle with a person who can make a difference over what we have had at 13 especially considering we are losing Sims, Frizz, Vaughan
Dufty
Pearson
Lafai
Aitken
Rava
Field
Clune
Vaughan
Robson
Lawrie
Host
Leilua
Mc Innes

K Sims
Kaufusi
Kerr
Pereira

Wasn't hard really but coach cant see past his nose.

I hope the second Vaughan is the brother of or atleast related to Paul.

Let's wait & see the final 17, rather than what's been announced on Tuesday. I'm optimistic it'll look different!

CC game against Penrith (who were 1st)

Allgood (A) v Timm (T)

Minutes played - (A) 46 mins playing lock - (T) 80 mins playing prop
Runs and Metres - (A) 10 runs 91 metres - (T) 21 runs 196 metres
PCM - (A) 37 - (T) 68
Tackle breaks - (A) 1 - (T) 2
Tackles - (A) 24 - (T) 41
Missed tackles - (A) 2 + 2 ineffective - (T) 1 + 3 ineffective

Allgood selected in the 17, whilst Timm on the extended bench. Can someone explain the logic in that?

I think also that young Timm would have a point to prove to Bellamy that he should have been given a chance when he was at the Storm, but given their forward strength you can sort of understand why.
