You honestly think Hannant and Clinton above White, Lima or Kaufusi? [icon_lol1.

 

[Fozz]

White and Kaufusi, most definatley. Lima, no.

I would have them on par, Melbourne's forwards are made to look a lot better then they really are with blokes like Cameron Smith, Falou, Inglis, Slater, Cronk running the team.

LOLZ....so wait; Falou, Inglis, Cronk run the pack??

White is shit. How can anyone think otherwise????

 

[Dave]

I rate Lima but he is quickly getting a reputation as a real grub. Kaufusi has done very little, Hannant and Clinton have a better record than him I reckon.

 

[Coxy]

Hannant and Clinton have played more rep footy than Kaufusi, Lima and White. Hannant has the potential to be better but he's really let that reputation down with gutless performances since signing with the Dogs.

 

[Alec]

If everything goes right, Kaufusi will be the best prop of the group IMO. Hannant to take second best spot once he hits his peak in 4 or so years time. I can't see White ever being "good" though. He's solid at club level, but not good enough for rep footy.

 

[Hamm.0]

Very true, although if you are a coach or CEO, you would rather solid over potential rep prop.

That sounds fair enough, the Storm's backs make the pack look good as they tend to always do something with the ball at the end of the set of six. Also in a similar way to the way that our back three (Locky, Del & Lote) used to help our pack out. The wingers could hit it up and the magic back line would always finish the set well. The Storm's pack is good, but if the sets finished awfully, then they wouldn't look quite as good.

 

[Coxy]

Ummm...if the Storm pack gets dominated, the likes of Cronk, Inglis and Slater are next to useless.

Exhibit a: Warriors vs Storm about 3 weeks ago.

The thing is the Storm forwards are so professional and so well drilled that getting on top of them is not easy.

Whereas the Broncos....

They aren't well drilled.

 

[Coxy]

As the poster showed! :P

 

[mick]

That poster was extremely well drilled.

 

[Kimlo]

Broncos aren't well drilled! Enough said.

Man, this year's premiership will be arguably the worst of this generation, along with last years. Melbourne winning anything sucks.

Why? The key Storm players are Qlders: Slater, Folau, Inglis, Smith, Crocker ...

So what? I don't care if they are QLDers. I care for them when it's SoO time, but when it's not they are among my most hated players.

couldn't agree more to be honest. Used to hate the knights but since Joey's gone, I've been feeling sorry for them, No one left to hate at the dogs anymore, Roosters just aint the same anymore... Storm are the team to hate! :mrgreen:

Agreed. I have NFI why people shit on about "but they're Queenslanders" like it means so much when it comes to the NRL. Two different farking comps FFS!

And we'll notice the same people are Australian supporters too, but somehow that didn't stop them from hating the Knights when Joey was playing for them, the Dragons with Cooper and Gasnier, Parramatta with Hindmarsh.... etc.
