Matt Orford - kicking himself for leaving Melbourne.

Sorry Matty - couldn't resist.

I don't need to rub it in - it would be hurting REAL BAD by now.

My only regret is that Steve Bell (still one of my favourite players) isn't there.

:D

:lol: I'm sure he's not feeling too flash right now. I'm sure he's happy for the boys but at the same time he'll still be spewing.

I totally agree with you about Belly, i would've loved him to be a part of it. I don't think there's one Storm fan out there that doesn't understand why he left and many would've also loved him to be there.

Bell was not offered a new contract due to his age and the fact we had to free up cash for Ingliss...

orford gave his all to this club and deserves a little more recognition, i assure u if we had cronk at 5/8 this year and ox calling the shots we wouldnt have lost a game all year, the team as a whole was maturing, orford just missed the big finale, but he put this team on the map more than afew times, i know he was one of my favourites, as im sure most of urs aswell, i also keep a spot for noddy, fantastic storm players

I disagree with you mate. Matt Orford leaving has been like a massive pressure release for the team. At times he was trying too hard, and stifling the backline. His ability to go missing in key games was no myth. It did happen and happen repeatedly. Its no coincidence that Hill has had one of his best years with Cronk at half, and that Cam Smith is the dominant hooker in the game.

Dont get me wrong- Orford was a star player and is one of the upper echelon of current halfbacks - but if he was halfback, and Cronk was 5/8 I think we would have another year of 'could have beens'.

Craig Bellamy for having to watch his pathetic team go round pretending they are good enough for a grand final. Trust me Orford is laughing with the rest of us.

Oh yeah, musta been so much more fun watchin the game than actually bein in it :roll:

You just gotta put Bellamy up against Hasler and he will make him a laughing stock.

I know it probably doesnt seem like it atm for some of you Storm fans, but I would rather make a Grand Final and lose than to watch a team that just cant make it at all... (Why am I still a Parra Fan?? Thank god for Prems!!)

Considering we were the best team all year and even should have won the GF by at least 4 points, I fail to see how your comment makes any sense. :crazy:

No, the Storm didnt choke, at least 4 bad decisions from the ref/video ref lost the game for us but anyway. Good luck in 2007 without BK. Manly to finish 13th. :D

Nah Mony. Manly will finish between 6th to 8th and bow out in straight sets again. At least for the next few years anyway.

Game's over now, no point getting worked up over it. After talking to the boys on the Monday afternoon when they got back, they've all got the fire in the pit of their guts for next year and that makes me feel better. As they say in the classics, there is always next year.

Remember, we were meant to finish last this year.
