We tend to play better at AAMI Park.
The scorelines suggest we don't, but we do.
We pushed them in quite a few games, but we just didn't have enough star power to get over the top of them.
That 30-0 flogging we copped, it wouldn't have been 30-0 if we had a better winger that could score tries. Maranta bombed 4 tries that night.
In 2014, we pushed them and should have won, but we were so disorganized and a couple of costly mistakes in the second half lost us the game.
This year, we have enough star power to do the job.
Storm are predictable, which should be a weakness, but they are so relentless they turn it into a strength. Everyone knows what they are going to do, but knowing it and stopping it are two different things.
If we can defend like our lives depended on it, we will frustrate them and force them to go away from their gameplan. Just like we did last year.

Wasn't Cronk injured when we beat them last year? They punished us on our own line forever, and we won the battle but they didn't have Cronk either ...Cronk destroyed is a couple of weeks ago

Roberts punishment expected to be handed down within the next 48 hours, most likely a 1 week suspension.

Pearson should come back into the side then with Kahu going into the centres. Pls no Maranta!!

I dunno, on second thought Antonio Milfoya would probably have been a better choice. Think I'll whip a few of the monkeys I use to write most of these posts for me. I've been waiting for years to use this image and they blew it:

Seems like the club has already moved on without him.

I think this has already been agreed upon, the club is just waiting until the off season to announce it. Doing so now would be a tough one on Parker in his last year.
