Suli is done so it would make sense for him to come back

I hope your wrong. Want to see this kid hear next year. Still got faith in Faniu, hopefully NRL make an exception cause he is the best young hooker talent going around, will be better than API, Brandon, the lot imo.

Totally agree. Fainu is best young nine. And yes I hope I’m wrong about Hoppa going too. It’s just a guess... just thought it had escalated too far to be salvageable. I’d hate to have that fool as a father.
But anyway let’s hope Buzz is right and Hoppas heading home.

WOW that's reaching for the stars @niccipops. I'd just be happy enough to see us conceded less than 40 pts.

I'm taking the conservative approach and hoping for conceding less than 50. I'm quietly confident.

Sulis injury a worry too. 5 months rehab with limited movement for a huge unit like him can’t be good.And NRL physio said it often has long term effects. Wish the big fella luck.

NRL only make exceptions for humans of the calibre of Matt Lodge 😉

Indeed. Best case is that Cust goes so well in the next few weeks that Walker can be brought back in Suli's centre spot. Not sure about Cust yet, he has some good attributes but a bit loose at times.

Storm are decimated like us. Will be a battle of the wounded. First year I can remember them having a bad injury run.

Yep. But more good than bad ... and he’s a confident kid. Still can see him being good for us over time

Pretty sure they get Smith back this week.

That alone will guarantee a win for them.

I think Munster is close to a return too and one or two of their forwards.

Another messy weekend coming up I fear....

I hear Schusters Dad is about to rant on Instagram

The good thing about Schuster is that it appears he really wants to play for the Sea Eagles - as expressed in this dual interview with Burbo

They will figure it is an easy 2 points for them and give Smith and Munster another week off

And then still take the easy two points

Yes, just our luck. Would of been great playing them with their team that ran out this week, they had at least 6 rep players out!

 

[Bomb Voyage]

Apparently we’ve recalled Hoppa from warriors and he will start off the bench this week

They both seem like nice humble kids. I truly hope their hard work is rewarded at Manly.

I wonder how he feels 6 months later when the side is an injury decimated rabble and he still cant even jag a bench spot?

 

[frank stokes]

Storm are decimated like us. Will be a battle of the wounded. First year I can remember them having a bad injury run.

Yet they still get the job done 8 weeks in a row and a 'bad' game for them is losing by 14 to 3rd place...

 

[KaZa]

Anyone watching his debut with warriors?

No point now.

 

[Heckenberg]

-Storm have beat up most teams this year.
-I think any win against a full strength roosters team is a good win
-yes we were robbed against a red hot parra team, no shame in that
-yes ordinary against Broncs, but still found a way to win

Not sure what you are getting at. Anyhow im as gutted as anyone, and cant make sense of the way we are playing or some team selections. Time to stick solid and see what comes out in the wash..

We also had one of the best wins in our clubs history against the raiders. Tough as.

 

[frank stokes]

It’s not about taking sides, it’s looking at the fallout and realising the contributing factors. Then managing and compromising if needs be on, the factors you can control and mitigating the factors you can’t.

Whatever had happened and who is to blame is inmaterial to the fact we held back a talented junior from getting a go in an underperforming team with inept players in the positions in question.

If hoppa, schuster and olakatu had got a go when Tom, walker and Siro were first injured we couldn’t be in a worse position than now anyways as we haven’t won a game, and there is a chance we might be going better. At the very least we would be better situated for the future.
