What a great coach, how many teams would of put up a fight with 10 players out? He has completely turned our side around. Last year the Storm lost every game when they had a big name out, this year we had 10 players out including over 2 big names and we still played great. We did not play like grand finalists but I can tell you we played like a top 8 team. We are a much better team this year than any other year and if we had our full team we would be in the top 4 right now. Good work Mr P.
 
I dont know Milky, we could have a star studded line up and play like a team of Duds.
Normally with a full healthy squad the coach leaves out players who happen to be our favorite player and then we get on the band wagon and critise selection.
Never the less, these injuries are a coaches worst enemy and i truly hope MP gets the best result with what he has and the boys play their hearts out
 
I cant tell if you are being facetious :/ We played extremely poorly against Brisbane and were only in it due to Brisbane being near equally as poor with the ball.

I think its a bit early to be judging Potter. One things for sure though, we certainly haven't been playing like a top eight team, bar the Melbourne game.

Yeah we played okay against brisbane. Well considering the injury toll. Like a top 10 side i think. But once injured players return our fortunes make also return! However, these early losses wont help us. The dogs will be hard and the dragons should have been a win for us. The Broncos is a maybe, not much any player coulda done in the first 40 with all those illtimed errors and penalties.
 
They have nothing going for them in attack and with all the injuries especially to key players I can understand that, but what I like is their attitude in defense, it has urgency and theirs plenty of effort. Okay they have let in some soft trys but that has not been about lack of effort rather poor commutation and that is also a result of the constant chopping and changing of the team due to injuries.

I think give Potter 17 fit players, with all the key players on deck for a couple of months and they would be a top five team. Iam looking forward to 2014 and very excited about 2015, as for 2013 its going to be hard slog to miss the spoon
 
The first half against the Broncs was nearly a disaster for us except that try before the siren.
If we hadnt fallen asleep the first 25 mins of the game we would have really given them a run for their money.

MP was proud of the effort from the team, i'm hoping he does give them a plastering for the first 25 mins and the mental lapse they had in D.

I just wish Potter was as vocal as Sheens. I love it when a coach gets fired up and fires his troops up.. With the exception of Bennett, he doesnt even open his mouth and the other, Ricky Stuart losses the PLOT every game.

we didnt bloody fall asleep we got penalised out of the first half!! not saying its the refs faults but every time we got the ball we'd work it to the 50 and then hand the ball to the other team on our 3rd or 4th through penalties and knockons!!

Dont get me started on our unforced errors and mistakes, it was enough to get me to pull my hair out. Dont know how the coaches deal with that every game.

Gibbsy got penalised the most in his day but now Blair has taken over.
