Nicho Hynes sure gets involved in the play a lot.

Four six agains to Broncs in about 10 minutes then rule put to bed. Storm couldn't  buy one. Talk about shambolic rule application 

Good player... the Sunshine Coast Falcons side a few years back was the best reserve grade side I have ever seen, especially the spine and backs, Grant, Hynes, Johns, Olam and co.

I read this  morning that the Broncs are willing to pay K400 of Lodges K800 contract to offload him and try to get their  cap in order. If they pay K400 to his replacement they are only square so they need to find a good bargain.

Great play from Hynes there.

Just give Nico Haynes and Brandon Smith the money they want. They would both look great in blue and white. 

The Cheese is great in attack and defence..

Players adapted to the new interpretations a bi better tonight and the ref a little less trigger happy.

I think they tick a number of boxes.

Two problems - metres and defence in the middle. Tick.
Experience and Leadership - Tick

Being former Doggies coming home I got no doubt they’ll buy into what we’re trying to achieve and want to lead us there.

And not insignificantly, we’ll win all the karaoke nights.

There were a couple that would’ve been binned last week that weren’t.last night . I’m not complaining...

Hopefully  good signs

Cheese... sounds very adamant at staying on at the Storm for 2022

The thing is a lot of teams including us may not have the patience to wait another year for a good hooker. I hope the cheese doesn't lose the opportunity to become a starting hooker and regret staying in Melbourne.

I’m your man. I think I know something about everything after a few beers

So would a Josh Hodgson on a 2yr deal work out for us then?

Until we can either find the right No.9 or an up n coming kid that can learn a bit from Hodgson

That may become one of our options if we can land Hodgson and Tapine can learn off him as our future No.9

My concern with Hodgson is age and injuries, his career seems a bit stop and start recently.

At his best he is the man we need with young halves...

So check his fitness and get the contract terms right.

One of Jason Hetheringtons sons made his debut for the Broncos.
My memory is that they are twins and the other brother is at a different club.

If one plays hooker and is like his old man ... sign the lad.
The one for the Broncos had a good debut...

100% regarding his past injuries, but at the same time, he would be pretty fresh having missed a large chunk of the past 18months

What is this crap about Angus being suspended for two games and it including Origin???... Sides weren’t named, Shirley a suspended player can’t be named so hes gotta sit out two Rorters games right???...

Totally agree. Are we to assume all players are  origin players and treat them equally or just roosters. NRL=farce if this happens.

I’d dare say it would be reasonable for English, Samoan etc players to kick up the biggest stink if it happens... 

Not looking forward to today's match...

Just letting you all know, that we are $23 to win 1-12 and $126 to win 13+.

Of course, panthers will beat us and will probably win by plenty, but if you have Early Payout, all you need is for us to start well and lead by 8-10 points and you can quickly take the payout offer and then let fate do its thing....

Who knows, Panthers might even have a brain explosion game and gift it to us and the longer you can hang on to the early payout the better!

Just make sure you bet over your head and not with it...

Fvck the betting. I believe that is the biggest problem with game. The betting is fvcking everything and V'Landy's not helping either.

If we’re lucky Cleary gets a spell at half time with Origin just around the corner...

On the points start bit we had 33.5...don't know if ever have seen one that high before....should take care of things up to half time.

The old sneaky VC loop to Nico Hynes hey Dman.....

Hethers should just take Cleary out before his send off is wasted in someone else..

What’s bvllshit is there is no consistency with when games are updated... Most Thurs night games updated by mid arvo Friday except when VC choice is very high....
Yep, everything is a conspiracy...
