Same as last week..Wonder if Edwards will get a run.

  Yep, no changes as expected. Would have liked to see Teancum Brown replace Guymer.

    Yeah why isn't Brown getting a run. Guymer too slow.

      He's on a development contract this year, not sure he can play before R11 without dispensation from the NRL?

        He can play. Development contract can play from rd1. Only train and trial players like Nanva need an exemption to play before rd 11

I thought Edwards was here due to the injury crisis. Well, there's still a hell of a lot injured and Edwards isn't even on the 6 bench

  It's a Sneak move to throw the Storm off their game plan. Great move by coach Ryles. 👏
- JC > Cʜɪᴇғy Mclovin May 12, 2026 at 4:36pm
  
  He has been here less than a week and why would you take anyone out of a winning team?.
  - Prof. Daz > JC May 13, 2026 at 9:10am
    
    Because for some sowing discord is the point
- Prof. Daz > Cʜɪᴇғy Mclovin May 13, 2026 at 9:09am
  
  Yeah, so further injuries and Harrison moves up the pecking order. And it makes sense IF players are capable who have been training in the systems, they are higher in the pecking order.
  
  This is not hard to understand for those without axes to grind

"Though Coryn, we aren't giving Ryles what he needs, but where are the players dying to play for him? His message is not strong enough to pry them over. I mean BA at least was able to get some decent signings. He got Lomax basically on his own."
