Ex Storm Players 2018

[Mattpoet]

Slade Griffin got his first NRL try last night on his Newcastle debut.

[Scooter]

Almost more (ex-)Storm players in this game than in the Storm line up - Souths: Kennar, Inglis, Walker, Nicholls and Hunt. Warriors: Green, Blair and Harris. Plus Seibold and Kearney as coaches.

Slade and Harris both put in really strong Round 1 performances.

Apparently Cooper Cronk becomes the 10th most capped player in NRL history tonight

[yourhero]

Cronk is now equal 10th. If Cronk avoids injury, he should finish second on that list - around the 365 mark. If he decides to play on after next year, it could be more - however I think that is unlikely.

Tohu just continues to ooze class... Ouch

Mahe Fonua had an absolute belter for the Tigpies last night.

[Mattpoet]

When I saw he was up against Hampton, I felt for Hampton - big size difference up top.

[yourhero]

Great to see Mahe going strong. By all accounts he played very well in England and has come back looking confident and powerful.
