The big 3

[AmericanHistoryX]

Melbourne who also like us dont have a huge pack.
Its a pity we cant carbon copy Melbourne & just do what they do
Its a pity cause we are so close but yet so far.
You cant carbon copy Melbourne.
You cant carbon copy Slater, Cronk & Smith.
Against Manly I thought it our goal to keep up with them but against Melbourne the goal would be to stay awake.

Widdop is just as dangerous as the other 3 - he single-handedly nearly led the Storm to a victory last year in Melbourne when the others were on Origin duty. I rate his as one of the top number 6s in the comp.

They are amazing. Cronk is the best orgasing half I have ever seen. He is like a machine with options, he always seems to get it right.
Slater is just everywhere, he reads the game so well and always pops up in the right place.

 

[khristian]

not to mention smith

LOL when exactly is this going to become a reality? You have to consistently, year after year, in any conditions and in any level of footy be the best of the best to be considered as elite as Melbournes big 3 are. Those 3 win games time after time at club level, during finals series, at state level and for their country. Robbie and Benj can and do achieve this at club level but not at any other and Tedesco and Brooks are unproven even at club level.

Love the optimism though….

Yeah, none of those 4 except farah are in the same league as the big 3 on an off day. yet. and benji, i have a feeling never :frowning: his time seems to have passed and he'll retired in 3 years unless his form does a 360.

We will win this game.
Storm are overrated.
Cronk and Smith are made to look much better than they are by Slater.
Neutralise Billy and you go a long way to getting the bickies.

 

[Flippedy]

We will win this game.

**I think we will turn up to play, but we won't have the talent to overcome them. Might have been a slim chance playing at Leichhardt, but not in Melbourne.**
Storm are overrated.

**No they're not. They are consistently the benchmark team to beat every year.**
Cronk and Smith are made to look much better than they are by Slater.

**Of course, Slater compliments their play, but both Cronk and Smith are elite players on their own.**
Neutralise Billy and you go a long way to getting the bickies.

**It would certainly be a good start, but I think there is far more to the Storm, as a team, than you're giving them credit for.**

as much as the good that Benji does and all the crap also that he does..I think his "best " days are gone and we are suffering ..
