'The Kid' is wasted at the Storm.

He needs to be playing for a bigger/better club..............
I think Slater gets too much attention - it takes away from players like Matty Orford, Hill and the reliable Matt King. Sure Slater is good but a club like the Roosters or Brisbane would suit him, they are more attacking minded that the Storm but they both have full back covered with Minechello and Roberts.

If he were to move where would he go? England? Who would be play for in Oz?

BTW .. did anyone here Souths may try to snag players like Anasta and an English Int. winger seeing as they will have $2 million + to spend next season? :p

He'll stay at the storm, i cant see him fitting in any other team cause most have the fullback spot covered. Maybe bulldogs if they can offload Patten, he's kinda gone down hill recently.

Souths junior!!

And Reni!

Souths can make the 8 this year. Injuries will destoy them though. No depth whatsoever except Dean Byrne playing reggies.

Btw, unless they are realeasing half their team I'm fairly sure it's not quite $2mil. I think it's more like 250k remaining from the salary cap they prviously couldn't afford to spend, as well as off contract players etc.

The judiciary is a load of shit, Nutley gone for two weeks, complete bullshit. On another note, it doesnt really matter cos Manly are crap, they are over-rated, they beat a out of form warriors side and struggled to even do that!

Yeah well I wasn't too sure on the topic I just kind of assumed.

Then I read in the Herald like 10 minutes later that Richardson said they could have up to 2million to spend next year, so my apologies you were correct. I guess I didn't realise the extent of their situation... must have alot of players off contract?

I don't think Souths will get the wooden spoon, but they won't make the 8 either. I think they will finish around 9th, 10th.
The Knights won't get the spoon. They are missing so many players, that they have resorted to buying Craig Smith, who will give them some sort of leadership and fire in the pack.
The Knights will be getting most of their players back in Round 4 onwards.
Joey is going to take time to get back to near his best. You can't just dismiss him after one game back. The Knights will be much better when Buderus and Kurt Gidley get back. And thank god they dumped Steve Witt back to reserve grade. That guy is one of the worst players to pull on a knights jersey.

its too early to see who will come first or last but if the cowboys clean up their game they will be a chance for the four if they make townsville a fortress.

After the first 2 rounds I think Melbourne Storm are going to be very competitive this year. IMO I think they will go close to winning it, or be in the top 4 at least.

What's going on with the dragons?? They are at the bottom with the Knights.
There is a couple of rumors going around at the moment. One is that Steve Folkes might be coaching the Dragons next year and that Anasta is a strong chance of going to Souths.

Btw, I think the comp is way open now.

And yet you lost to us, hahahaha.

Should be good this weekend. The Roosters are taking on the Broncos, im tipping a change of form for the Dragons when they take on the Panthers and 1st placed Melbourne are taking on 2nd placed Manly, yeeeaaahhh.

Unfortunately for the Knights all your supposed easy fixtures are early on in the season so you really need all your good players early on. The Raiders are suspected spoon contenders, you've face them once and lost and you'll face them again in about 5 rounds I think. You'll also be facing the Rabbits in round 6.

It was a sad day, losing to Manly, the Sharks defense was a disgrace, and their discipline was poor (Although Simpkins was OBVIOUSLY one sided!).

But hey, thats was happens when your missing the best 1/2 in Australia and your two best props who btw lead tackles + hit-ups each game. Cant w8 till every1s back, and Hutch comes off the Bench instead of startin, then I will give credit to teams beating the mighty sharks. Interesting news, Sharks are looking at the big prop Bailey from Stain George as a replacement for Stevens, an obvious downgrade but I would still welcome him!!!

Right on, thats why so many people tipped them to finish in the bottom 3 this year. IMO they may concede 700+ points this season.
