TEAM LIST Round 16 vs. Storm

[Asu Kepaoa's #1 Fan]

This is the weakest Storm side I think I’ve ever seen.
Usually when they lose players to Origin, they have young guns step in who are potential stars themselves. Only Pezet satisfies this title.
Some of the others are reserve graders.
Despite our weakened side, our pack should get on top and provide room for the halves to feed our outside men.
I’ll take us by 4.

Meaney will carve us up. He always does.

Daine Laurie.. Will. Smith?

I'm reminded of the old saying " don't weaken one position to strengthen another"

What's brain fart naden gunna come up with this week?

That is excatly what we are doing by playing Bateman at lock with Blore on the edge!

How much experience has Star To’a had as a 5/8 ?
Will Smith isn’t a young guys, Tony Pellow ?
Don’t know why we call them depth signings, looks like they are only signed so we can put a ressies team out each week.
Looks like picking your best 17 available players and trying to fit them into the team somehow.
Which I probably agree with at this point.
Glad I’m not a coach doesn’t matter if it’s the tigers or NSW everyone has difference of opinions
Good luck to both of them over the next week.

Good point... So much for depth... when they aren't used when reqd

Wouldn’t have to weaken that position if we hadn’t got rid of joffa , the club is the reason we will get two spoons in a row

I disagree with this because Jofa was much better in the middle but he isn't the player the club wants as a lock forward. Jofo is a prop that can play lock. Same as Pole.

You just confirmed his point.
The club INCORRECTLY didn’t want to use him at lock.
That’s after he played extremely strongly there last year, earning club player of the year and an upgraded contract extension.
Our coaches clearly weren’t watching. To busy doing the press rounds chatting about their ‘brave’ appointments. Maybe they should have dragged Kimmorley back from under that bus they parked on him and had an end of season debrief.

I like Bateman as Captain but he can't do everything. Lot of pressure to perform and keep the talk up. Hopefully he smashes it.

But will anyone understand what he is saying.

 

[hank37w]

Putrid. Seriously, where are all these super talented youngsters we have?

About 2-3 years away, assuming they are still here then.

 

[Hbom]

In a bad way?

I like To'a, as a centre. I know we're desperate, but he's no 5/8.

Hope the instructions to him are just... run!

Sure, there might be some bad plays thrown in. Maybe not a superb kicking game. Beating a man and finding a pass for a try, yes. Potentially multiple times.

The surprise for some might be a minimum wage centre performing on par with our illustrious 10 year 7.

Apparently klemmer can lip read and will translate.

Blore gets 2 more games after this to show any value and if he doesn’t move Bateman back and bring Matamua into lock & let him end the season in 1sts.

Is an all-time headline 🤣

Hopefully no broken communication 🤦🏻‍♂️

 

[TigerSkins05]

when has to”a played 5/8??
Do we really not have any junior half’s at all?

Starford has played wing, centre, and fullback in the past .. not sure about 5/8 .. ?? Talua on the other hand played 5/8 for Junior Kangaroos and killed it there .. !!

The ones that don’t kick on will be

He seems to have forgotten how to catch, pass and tackle since then

Klemmer will have to play full 80 then.

I feel sorry for the refs almost, they'll have no chance understanding him... Before kick off
Ref: "heads or tails John?"
John: "gkeffs"
Ref: "Ahhh ok"

I'm hoping he's an aggressive captain and constantly challenging the refs and in their face!

Talau also should never be near the first grade side again after last week
