Pick Your Team Storm v Warriors - Round 2, 2024 PICK YOUR TEAM

[Inruin]

The other difference was the first trial RTS was playing against the wooden spooners reserve grade team champ

That's certainly a consideration, though it was fairly close to their best line up. At least for the first period.

Will be interesting if we get to see a change in 6 in the next 4 - 5 rounds and if there is any difference to how that left edge operates.

Like a number of posters on here. I'm not seeing anything too dissimilar from 2023 in his play and that's simply not going to be good enough.

Funny thing is Webster and the coaching staff see it the same way I do, maybe they should hire you as a consultant

Fortunately the game is played on a field and not a device.
Who knows we could all be wrong.

???.I think we made a semi final last year.
Best result for a long time

Nice. Bit worried about Barnett on an edge now. Pretty much a front rower now but limited options otherwise and throwing Laban in for a full game against the storm is a tough ask

Yikes. Good post but Yikes.

I want to see this back line vs the Storm

1 Tuapiki (I would prefer TMM but we are getting Taine)
2 Dallin
3 Berry
4 Roger
5 Kosi
6 Metcalf
7 SJ

I think we should pick Kosi to help avenge our 2021 70 point loss. He should get fired up for the match ?

Thought there was a couple of times RTS could have unleashed Montoya with a pass but held it instead.. Oh well, time to break the Storm hoodoo.

TBF Rog is still learning how to play centre in RL.
For anyone who knows anything about the game will tell you it's the hardest position to play.
Defence is different as its one on one with with variations of plays.
With his work ethic and dedication he will get there.

Are there any other old people fans on the site like me? I take meds each night and they make me sleepy. I fell asleep half an hour into Friday's match and had to catch the replay the next day to watch the full game. Is anyone else thinking of having a nanna nap on saturday evening before the 9.35pm kick off time???

Yes Wrighty.
I take five meds at dinner
But last Friday at game start time we were up to Bris (180km return trip)for a grandaughters 4 th birthday party
Remarkable we got back four hours after game start. More so managed to stay up till 1030 (Aus) and watched the whole game

Kept me in a later slot on Sat when I went to CBus for the Titans Drags game got home 930 pm

By the way I was impressed with RFM.
Flanagan left him on the whole game - he was solid and got a few offloads away couple of errors but bit Rusty. He is a big unit

Kosi has a hand injury. Back round 3.

I thought that’s old? He played cup on the weekend

Was just quoting NRL.com

Anyways, Kosi over Montoya doesn't do anything that would have fixed that Sharks game. Did RTS even pass once to his winger?

 

[Hoolioh]

was hoping CHT would get some time at hooker in the reggies. Happy to go with Lusick for now as it was only round one but we gota get some better service for SJ. Roche against the storm is not a good idea.

Don't think it matters much, if Chanel's going ok in the halves he can easily transfer his dummy half distribution to rake at hooker. I'd like to see how he goes instead of Lussick too but like everyone says it's the Storm, do we want to be experimenting against a side who can easily put 50 on us? That goes double for Pauly Roache (assuming Wayde's not named).

scary to think we probably start this season 0-2 don't see us beating melb after the losses and results from this round just hope we can bounce back from this

Yeah wish we played some bottom 8 teams to start but we're the hunted now, bring it on. (but please make it painless)
