NRL 2012 Melbourne Storm Thread

[pantskyle]

Manly have signed Richie Fa'aoso from next season.

Curious as to why we haven't played him yet. Not named this week even on the extended bench.

If it was any brand other than Batman I'd be livid. Hope this isn't the start of a trend, but as a once-off the jersey looks superb.

Can't say i'm a real fan of changing a teams strip for the sake of a film.

For those who haven't seen it this is how you whore out a teams strip

Rather than the standard pitchside advertising hoarding or square-inch advert in the match programme, Brazilian Serie B side Vitoria have conjured up an ingenious way of promoting the club’s blood donation campaign.
Nicknamed the ‘Red and Blacks’, there’s no prizes for guessing what colours Vitoria usually play in. However, ahead of the new season, the club have ‘drained’ the red hoops from their home strip in a bid to raise awareness and get their fans to donate blood for transfusions and the like.
The red hoops on the home shirt will then be replaced one-by-one as the level of blood donated rises, until the shirt is eventually restored to it’s former glory when the target is met. As we said, ingenious…

You would be livid because the club is making money?

This is exactly what the Storm need to do. Engage the community.

No - I just don't like the idea of changing the strip every time a sponsor is willing to pony up some cash (apart from adding the odd logo - i.e. the Programmed sponsorship).

The team have already gone through five different shirts in the regular season this year - home, away, heritage, battle and Batman. I feel like that's enough.

Only making 500 so I wouldn't be too fussed. If it's making the club money then I'm all for it.

That is outstanding.

Storm & Richmond ... what a daily double

 

[AM]

Wouldn't be too worried about the present dip. A fully fit and ready-to-go Storm can take care of all commers.

 

[Fire Storm]

Storm & Richmond ... what a daily double

Yeah, what's more humiliating? Being beaten by North or having a goal kicked on fulltime by an ex NRL player?

 

[pantskyle]

Just a very big hole we are in.

The latter.

 

[CooperCronk]

Just a very big hole we are in.

See what's happened since I last posted. Time for the Storm to climb out of that big hole.

 

[pantskyle]

If we lose to parra then we are no chance for the title.

 

[footy75]

Just a very big hole we are in.

surely its just a mid season lull and they will be fully fit and firing heading towards finals...

 

[year of the roo]

We are absolutely putrid. I have no idea why Quinn and Kostjasyn continue to get games. Rubbish footballers. Any chance of playing some kids, Craig?

 

[Angus Young]

what is going on???????????

 

[pantskyle]

The calm before the Storm.

Chambers returning is great. Slater back next week.

Our premiership charge starts now.

Catching up on the posts I've missed, so I had to bump this up. Just made me feel good to see Billy and those adoring little Storm fans at a rugby league clinic in Melb...over 500 attended I think

Got some bad news, Slater's not playing next week unfortunately...
I'm wild with that Q'ld Origin doctor who let him back on the field when he first hurt his knee in Origin II, I truly believe it aggravated his injury.

Having Chambers back is good news, hopefully he can remain on the field and his health keeps improving.
Now all we need is O'Neill to recover from his groin injury, Duffie from his shoulder and Vave from his broken foot and we MIGHT get back on track.

 

[pantskyle]

I reckon Slater will play.

 

[damickytiges]

I have avoided this whole site since another frustrating Richmond "honourable loss" ... WTF is going on when the Storm can't even beat the Eels?

 

[pantskyle]

I reckon Slater will play.

And named.

 

[CooperCronk]

And named.

Good news, great to see him back. Now watch those St Merge players targetting his knee lol.
I reckon he should bandage his good knee to trick them

 

[damickytiges]

Another loss ... Slump continues
