NRL 2012 Melbourne Storm Thread

Todd Lowrie to the Warriors.

Yeah and now he's got his extra dollars says I will now concentrate on giving my all to the Storm for the rest of this season!!

This really sucks for me, just announce it at the end of the year when us fans can sook in the off season.

 

[pantskyle]

I thought he had re-signed with us.

Yet another ****ing player leaves.

 

[tugga]

As a Dragons fan, please allow me to express my condolences and just say BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Nice work by your mob on Saturday night. Have fun in September doing whatever you're doing while we are watching our team play finals football..again.

 

[tugga]

I am very worried about playing the Titans this week, Bird is back and they are almost at full strength with a commitment to make the 8. Storm need to play the full 80 minutes this week for a win against a team that should have beaten the Bunnies last week except for some terrible refs decisions.

There's a 25% discount for afl members who present their cards to the game this week and with no afl on in town a good chance to see what should be a great game of footy.

Its also Jesse B's 50th NRL game for the Storm.

I am all for the discounts and stuff, but us paid-up members continually overlooked.
How about a free upgrade for GA members or something to say thanks to your loyal members Storm??????? This is my 7th year as a member and I get nothing, but the AFL freeloaders get gifted cheap seats and 2 for 1 offers.

Absolutely agree. An upgrade 3 times a year would be a great idea and a way of showing some support to loyal supporters like yourself and others.

Definitely a good idea there Tugga, shoot of an email to the Storm and address it to Ron Gauci, long standing members deserve something, even a discount for each year they renew their memberships or something similar.

 

[CooperCronk]

Come on Storm boys you don't have to wait until a half-time spray from Bellyache to pull your fingers out.

I have no nails left after tonights game!

I think its all Cam Smith's fault he's so relaxed and nothing fazes him and must rub off on the rest of the team.
We'll have to get into another gear next week against the Sharks then the Tigers who'll be working their bottoms off to stay in the 8.

 

[pantskyle]

Thought we would lose that.

Who was missing from the team.

Matt Duffie and Vave.
Matt played in the NSW Cup this week first week back after a shoulder injury and Vave has a broken foot.

Storm sign Junior Sau

 

[Northern_Union]

Junior Sau is a good pickup for the Storm. He's not the perfect rugby league player but he brings some good attributes with his game.

I remember watching him play for the Knights but he didn't stand out imo. Heard some good & bad reports about him from Knights supporters. He's only signed a 1 year contract and I hope he's not another Beau Champion!

 

[moto748]

I'd have said he was about equivalent.

 

[CooperCronk]

Now wonder Matt Duffie's form has been awful for a few months before he succumbed to his shoulder injury, he's now been ruled out for the remainder of the season and due to have another reconstruction to the same shoulder.

 

[pantskyle]

Bad news about Duffie. Means we have to continue to play Waqa.

 

[moto748]

I don't think Waqa's too bad. i reckon it's forwards you need more than backs.

 

[CooperCronk]

I don't think Waqa's too bad. i reckon it's forwards you need more than backs.

yeah his form has really improved since Slater's return. He's a confidence player in and out of the team all year, wouldn't have helped him.

 

[CooperCronk]

I'm nervous about playing the Sharks tom. night.
Storm have to beat either the Sharks tom or the Tigers next Sat. night to retain a top 4 spot.
I'd rather win tomorrow than stress about the Tigers game the following week.

 

[AM]

Don't quite know what to make of Bellamy's comment that he will make a decision about his coaching future at years end when he has another year of a contract to go. Seems the Warriors might have more than a foot in the door there.

Craig does not like to look too far ahead and any contract negotiations for beyond 2013 have been put onhold until the season is finished. He's committed to staying with the Storm until the end of 2013. After that, who knows tbh.

 

[pantskyle]

Wouldn't begrudge him if he left.

I think he is intent on getting a premiership with us though.

 

[AM]

Agree you can't turn your back on the sort of money the Warriors are reputedly offering. Somehow doubt they'll hold that offer open until 2014 though.

There aren't many top notch coaches around. Would Ricky Stuart move south?

 

[Warsaw]

Holy Shiz. how did that happen??

 

[Aucklander]

That was amazing. Looked beaten for sure.

 

[pantskyle]

Well that was shit.

Play like that against the Dogs, Souths or Manly and they will crush us.
