Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2929049, member: 9052"] I'm not sure what to expect this year as it appears to be a different storm team. The loss of Cooper appears to have rattled them a little more than anticipated. They are well known as a dirty team but this year they've gone to another level with the diving to get people sin binned (3 cases this year alone) and Smith is now passing into players lying in the ruck (which I can't recall him doing previously). They really are looking to win at all costs this year, whereas teams of the last few years used tactical advantages to get the wins and played a style that was entertaining to watch (compared to the grind it out style). The loss of Cooper has hampered their attack with everything revolving around Cam and Billy this year. Unlike last year where Cooper was able to make his surrounding players better, bringing a different element. They're not getting enough from their halves and last week Cam played a lot of first receiver with Munster and Jacks playing as split 5/8's. As always storm will look to exploit fast play the balls through the middle of our ruck, which has seemed to be out Achilles heel as far back as the Petero days, so to be any chance our goal line defence will need to be on song with a lot of scrambling defence required [/QUOTE]
