Round three vs The Storm

[Jane Murray]

Different Storm team this year but short turnaround will hurt

The Storm looked gassed by half time. Ours didn't, and the conditions were worse. We bring our A grade and we can defeat them.

Unchanged for mine.

Burton for Cleary if injured obviously. I'm 99% sure he will play as Korisau is sidelined.

Looking forward to seeing how we take on the challenge. Far from our best against two very ordinary teams. We may just step up a gear against the Storm.

Capewell was talking to the physio when he came off but was on the bench and no ice or anything so should be right

 

[Luke Bowden]

Definitely unchanged for mine. We look better every week, no need for change unless we are forced to through injury.

I think we’ll have the storm covered, as long as we play smart. Kick the corners and them bring it back. We are fitter.

There may be a forced changed. Nathan may not pass his HIA.

To me, it seems like the Storm players are not as fit as our are? Some looked gassed by half time.

Parras pack gave it to them. And so did our big wingers. You don't go around the Storm. Take them down in the middle.

I know, we did that last nights game. Yesterdays weather was worse than Thursday night, so it will be interesting. The Storms players do not look as fit as ours do.

I have said this for 6mths. Too is your best back. Not even close. He is perhaps one of your top 5 players.
Critchon has skill and all but Too is just a wrecking ball.

He's Chicka Ferguson slippery.

Sounds like some kind of lube

I'd only make the 1 change and that's at hooker.Either may start and Burton on the bench or give hands a start.I thought Kenny was very slow and dropped a few balls for mine.

Very tough conditions for Kenny to play his first game in a while in. I don’t think playing a non hooker or a first grade debutant in the grand final rematch would be smart at all. Also had a beautiful try assist for Kikau second and made a bucketload of tackles in the middle. Kenny should be and will be the hooker until Api is back.

 

[The_Frog]

Hands is a development player and not eligible for NRL so long as Kenny is fit, and possibly May as well. Kenny had 4 errors in a side with 87% completions, it was a slow game because of wrestling mainly. The Dogs were appalling and they did get pinged a few times. Kenny made 45 tackles and won't be dropped. If you start May at 9 you lose your utility.

 

[panthersam]

The team will be unchanged unless forced through injury. We haven’t conceded a point yet, as if anything will be changed lol

Cleary is a bit different being concussion.

 

[panthersam]

That’s what I meant when I referred to changes through injury

 

[Jane Murray]

Cleary is a bit different being concussion.

Even if Cleary plays, I would be tempted to find a starting spot for Burton. That will give us three points of attack, four, if you include Crichton.

We may just see old mate Billy Burns back in the 17. Has been a while.

He looked pretty good at the ground yesterday. Good mo.

He is too good for NSW Cup but for some reason hasn't put it onto NRL yet

which is why I said unless we are forced......

where? There are only 13 players allowed on the field.
