shadow grinder said:well thats your opinion....
just like the knights johns wont be around forever ethier....and a young guy will have to take over.
cronk wont do it over night...and he wont win us a grand final in his first year at half...but he will grow as a player.
I also think you are over-rating orford a bit...he is nowhere near as good as you think he is IMO.

Thunderstruck said:you're the one who needs waking up. Orford can be a very good halfback but he certainly goes MIA a hell of a lot more often. He's totally over rated.
kia ora storm said:Would you still be saying this if he was staying with us ???...perhaps if he had Hilly there to support to him then he might not go MIA.
Take a chill pill Thunderchuck...
Thunderstruck there's a reason why Manly and Souths wanted to steal him away from us(Manly did in the end) he's a great half back, Souths wanted a half back that knows the job, Manly wanted him so they can have a back-up kicker and to give Monas a break.Thunderstruck said:you're the one who needs waking up.

Yeah, the reason is they kept missing the fact that he goes missing a lot of the times when the Storm needed him to fire up and that he's extremely gun shy when faced with a much better halfback. Also, he goes underground whenever rep jersey gets mentioned.lotti said:Thunderstruck there's a reason why Manly and Souths wanted to steal him away from us(Manly did in the end) he's a great half back, Souths wanted a half back that knows the job, Manly wanted him so they can have a back-up kicker and to give Monas a break.

if you are to blind or dumb to see that orford has been MIA this year then tough titties...you keep believing that its all hills fault...but ill have a smile on my face when we finally see orford leave.
kia ora storm said:Not saying that it is all Hill's fault but how can Orford settle his combinations when Hilly is in and out...as for having a smile on ya face...yes Orford has gone MIA but it is better than having a half back that is a clear pretender to Ox.
Don't get me wrong, Orford is not my favorite player but Cronk will do no better..
