Tries Charlie Staines, Kurt Kapewell. Goals Stephen Crichton (2/3)
Nathan Cleary will not be able to clear the Concussion Protocols before Thursdays match against the Storm and has been ruled out. He will be replaced with Matt Burton.
I am glad to hear this. I personally didn’t want him to play them anyway, perfect opportunity for our 2nd string guys to be put under immense pressure early in the season. This is a win win all round.
its a shame for both clubs but i believe they lose more then us as we still have a player in Luai who can execute at this level
A lot to ask from Burton and suspect he will start on the bench
i think the clue for us in last weeks game when Cleary left the field…May to 7 and Luai took control
My view is IC sees this as a game to measure where we are at and will not want to risk Burton to start.
I like Burton and think the kid has something but not as a starting 7
Also pleased to see the weather clear for the fans who will rock up tonight, both squads will be up for this game.
I think Burton will start, Puss - although, I remember May & Luai carving up the Warriors a couple of years back, when Maloney & Cleary were on SOO duty.
I think you will see all three (Luai, May, Burton) working in the halves throughout the game. It’s good we have that option, all three have excellent kicking games.
The game plan will be simple, keep the Storm playing out of their end, and apply pressure. I think if we play the long game tonight we will come out with the points.
We need to focus on the NOW, not 2020 GF revenge. That’s
just the press building up the game.
We have a squad that is full of talent and ability.
We need to demonstrate our team spirit.
We can make a statement here with primary playmakers
Cleary & Korisau sidelined.
i agree fully, all the noise about rematches etc is just that noise
we need to see tonight what we have as a team this year and how we are placed.
Storm were flat at best last week and rarely ever lose in in a row so Bellamy will have them focussed on todays performance not last years glory or any grudge match
I think Storm will definitely miss their FB and Munster is key, we have to shut him down.
