Pangai to start at prop for Leota. Martin moves to start in the 2nd row & Kikau to the bench.
Good move to shift Martin out of prop, imho. Hope Pangsi takes a big helping of disciplined angry pills, rips into the Storm forwards & puts the brakes on Welch & co monstering Cleary.
Just saw IC interviewed and he hinted at the first 20 and its importance not to let Storm get on top
For me we have to hurt Brandon Smith and unsettle Munsterā¦they of course will target NC and like the bunnies last night would be good if we had an alternate kicker at least for the first 20
and change things up, kick early and keep turning their big boppers around.
If we are in this for a long way, we should get the lolliesā¦we just cannot let Storm get any cheap points and in succession on us.
lots to take out of the first half and the best thing is we turned up and we are right in this
I got 1 leg up with Smith hurt and Munster has been shut down for 40
Bellamy will demand a response from them for the first 10 to 15 minutes and we need to be alert for an absolute onslaught because if they fail we roll on with he game
This next 15 will be GF like and intensity will be enormousā¦i hope Luai can make it back
We just need to turn them around and them being 2 forwards short will work for us.
Great effort across the park. Melbourne never really got into any rhythm & we stifled them at every turn. Enjoying the win, and will enjoy the banter with my brother even more this week.
