No Smith, No Munster, no worries.

Roosters have no answers tonight, Storm relentless despite thier two best missing. How will the Eels go next week? Anybody starting to get nervous? Will be our biggest test this year, full strength against depleted Storm.If we win they will say Storm were under strength, if we lose it is a huge blow psychologically and our hopes for minor premiership dashed.

BTW .I FKN hate the Storm more than any other team.

        That's not true at all.

        Muttman that's what I heard I don't make things up. Is it true I assume people tell me the truth. I suppose I could make some inquiries.

        I never said you made things up. I have inside knowledge here that's all.

        Muttman I didn't say you accused me of making it up. The person who told me that was obviously referring to before the start of last season. Another x factor player to come through Tigpies. I have a few contacts myself at Tigers and have known Frank Ponissi as well a long time. When he was managing SA Rugby he took my young son into meet the team in their hotel and he coached my eldest in Reggies at Manly. I suppose I can say I have contacts too in both camps.

      I don't think they let Teddy go, he was never staying, no matter how much they offered.

Thier left side defence is strong and thier right side attack as well, that just about has us screwed.

  Possibly Frankie, but they will show more heart than your Roosters have tonight.

  The Storm work no matter who's in their team, their whole game revolves around relentless line speed especially early in sets , kick pressure , kick chase and pressuring playmakers .
  
  Wait for a mistake then play a little more expansive but earn the right first. If your not prepared to give it back to them in equal measure you'll get rolled.
  
  The one percenters perfectly executed is what they base their program on. You stick it to them early in halves and pressure them back and their weaknesses appear like every other side.

    Yeah I thought theire 2nd half was pretty ordinary tbh. The Roosters started to get back into the arm wrestle and Jahrome Hughes really struggled to maintain control of the game.

Based on our last few weeks, we are no chance. Sorry, but that is the truth.
