Thank you mate

Quick someone edit Frizell into the NSW Blues starting 17. Welshy will have an orgasm.

3968

Remember that number, this week I start the tumble into obscurity. I won't be bye planning and just plan to get the best 17 as early as possible.

Storm set to sign Kodi Nikorima apparently.


FUCK!

I've heard this a few times and I'm left with one question... "But Why?".

Surely they don't intend on resting Smith as a regular thing. I understand it during origin, but I wouldn't think KNiko would jump at that if that's all it is.

he is there is some capacity at least mistake not starting him over Jackson

Or keep the trade

I'm keeping the trade, what? I had more important trades.
He should get a run out there though. (this weekend would be a major bonus for me)


And you're way ahead of what I can do on a computer GIFFSl

He will play in the halves with Cronk

You been on holidays? Very quiet lately mate, which is cool after last weekend's result at ANZ.

Nah mate I read that they will be offering him a starting spot alongside Cooper Cronk. Green is off contract right? so Niko would slot into his spot.

I think it's for next year. Blake Green has been doing his job at 5/8 and they won't drop him for an untested first grade half (Pretty sure Kodi's never started in the halves). It'll be for next year as an investment in the future. He'll have a whole pre-season to train in the halves too

Edit: Gee why the thumbs down for it's just an opinion. Would you drop Blake Green for Kodi at 6 for the Storm this year?

I thought the answer was obvious. Kid has huuuuge wraps on him, and Storm will be looking for a hooker when Smith retires. That could be a massive compliment to Kodi if they want him as the heir apparent in future years. Let's face it, Macca has a long and lustrous career in front of him, so he won't see a sniff there. A good career move, and Bellyache has a knack for making good players great.

edit: Ah, just read for the halves. Perhaps less fanfare than superceding Smith (any Storm fans want to pitch his backup?)
Still a good move for Kodi though, regular starting spot rather than the forever-bench man.

Oh cheers lads, halves makes sense not sure why I didn't think of that to begin with. Hmm, good for him then.

If he returns to part time minutes with Macca's return he could be a juicy mid range/cheapie to start the season with next year

Well done lads, been a shit week otherwise.

Whisper it quietly, but I've heard talk about a page 52 party going down soon. It would take precision and planning but this dude reckoned it could be done. Just hang around the forum entrance at page 50 time - I'll try and get you in. Spread the word...

I'm preloading already just in case it happens

Want to be wired as if that shit goes diwn

Had a look and thought why not go Hastings to Mbye to play alongside Norman?
Seems like his name has disappeared from most talk these days, still averaging 50 a game

So many options, so little trades but pulled the trigger.

Kodi has started in the halves several times even two weeks ago for his country. The WCC at the start of the year and several times last year when the kiwis were versing the poms.
