NRL 2012 Melbourne Storm Thread

[pantskyle]

Terrible defence late on. Should have been a 20+ win.

 

[Santana]

The Storm should go back to their original jerseys for good. Looks far better IMO.

 

[CooperCronk]

What crowd do you guys expect tonight?

wish it was tomorrow night or Sunday

Was expecting around the 11,000 which we got and also would have preferred the game to be on Sat or Sunday, up against the Collingwood/Hawthorn game was such a bad get.

 

[CooperCronk]

Sika Manu has an ankle injury and will be out for 6 weeks, damn, we will miss his go forward.

Quinn is on report for a high shot. I haven't watched the replay so can't really comment.

 

[pantskyle]

Wow they said Manu had a sprained ankle 6 weeks hurt. Quinn could be in trouble. Two weeks I think.

 

[tugga]

We will miss big Sika.
Quinn i couldn't care less about.

I doubt we would have had a much bigger crowd anyway, really 13k is about the ceiling for this kind of match.

Quinn out could be annoying. With Blair suspended, O'Niell and Fonua injured, Waqa rubbish, we might have to go with Moylan Are any U20 backs doing well? Solomona perhaps?

Manu is a huge loss, I hope we get to see Kenny Bromwich or Tohu Harris in his place. But they'll probably go with Kosta or Lowe

Quinn has been very good so far this year, hopefully its only a one week suspension if he cops one. Lowe is having his best season ever and I'm happy for him or Bromwich to take Manu's spot.

Harris isn't quite ready for 1st grade but who knows until you throw them in at the deep end, but it isn't Bellyache's style to do this unless he's desperate.

You mean Lowrie, having his best season ever. Certainly not Jaiman Lowe, who I was referring to. Mitch Garbutt is another option, apparently playing OK in the QLD Cup.

Yep sorry, rushing thru the threads too much.

I've read a couple of good reports on Garbutt also. Its time to try out a few new players due to injuries and reports, but as I said before, Bellyache tends to stick with players who have played more in 1st grade and blood in newer players around Origin time.

[Aucklander]

Another good show by the great one.

Appreciating all the different guests.

 

[CooperCronk]

Thanks for the vid Wookie.

I certainly wasn't aware Billy was a guest on the show and would have watched it had I knew.

ha ha I bet Ed would have worked twice as hard on Billy to swing had he been 8 years younger.

you've completely lost me.

Great one? I just threw up a little.
Only one great one in that pic and it aint Fat Eddie.

 

[tugga]

you've completely lost me.

It's a show hosted by Eddie McGuire on the Fox Footy channel. Mel was just saying how it's good that the show is having guests from a rival code.

 

[meltiger]

I don't think Ed is as anti RL as people give him credit for tbh

 

[tugga]

Think we are due for a loss andit will come this weekend. my sister is up there this weekend diving the Yongala wreck and is going to go along to Dairy Farmers n Sunday. I hate her.

 

[meltiger]

Two tough ones in a row. Fired up Newie on FNF, now a trip to Townsville. Got flogged in the corresponding fixture last year

I agree Tugga.

Injuries & suspensions are going to hurt, plus the Cowboys pack will hammer us. The Cowboys looks like a rugby union team tbh. I watched them last week and I couldn't believe how big their players were.

 

[moto748]

Yes, I thought the Cowboys were pretty impressive last week too. Matty Bowen is such a class act.

 

[tugga]

I have $20 on the Cowboys at $2.40 to soften the blow.

 

[pantskyle]

Storm will win.

 

[Aucklander]

Looks like the 20 might be lost
