In fairness, it’s an experimental side and they are all inexperienced in these conditions but they said, Short and JFM have sucked at international level so far and they’ve had plenty of chances.
Are we sure Arthars is also a lock for the other wing? He had an amazing GF in 2023 but like so much of the team, a pretty mediocre 2024. I imagine he will get first go at the spot but I don't think he should feel too comfortable about having a mortgage on the spot.
The Melbourne Storm were the most supported club? Boy I think the system for that finding needs to be checked. Most people in Victoria barely even know they exist. Its really the islander community down here that gives them a crowd and that community isn't anywhere near what it is in Qld.
Who is Cobbo worse than in the Storm backline? You could poorly argue Paps and maybe Coates but at absolute worst, he is a similar level. He is way better than Meaney, Warbrick and Howarth. None of those guys have the upside Cobbo does because very few young players in the comp do.
Man could you imagine Cobbo in that system? He'd have a heart attack. And even if they do sign him, there is absolutely no way we should do an early release, the Storm wouldn't do that for us.
Yes I thought that might happen, definitely looked like a significant bend in the process that would be reported. He might well be cleared but after Murali, I didn't think SL would be the place the report would happen.
