I also love to see Ogden starting too.There is no way Oggy, Katoa and RFM all start if Dean still had the whistle. SG not afraid to mix it up and I am really happy to see Odgen start.

Dogs by 4We are paying $6/1 get on it
Because he has put a lazey $10,000 on Bulldogs paying $21.00 for 13+why isnt the ref in Storms starting team?!
Not bad, but I would rather Katoa than Tolman particularly on the bench. Also like many I don't believe Cogger has been given a fair go, considering Foran is not far from another season ending injury, Lewis not a half, a ? mark on Wakeham, and good No7's very hard to find.When everyone's fit, I would love to see:
1. Meaney 2. DWZ 3 Hoppa 4. Lafai 5. Knockonbor 6. Averillo 7. Foran 8. Toomaga 9. Katoa 10. Ogden 11. RFM 12. Jackson 13. Thompson
Bench : Napa, Tolman, JMK, Elliot. Get it done Georgalis! I'm backing us in a close one this weekend. Meaney and Thompson to go large....
Bang on mate. Without those basic errors we would’ve/could’ve beaten at least the slimy Eels, Steelers and Sharks. At 5/7 vs 2/10, we’d be sitting around 10th which at this stage of the year given our squad and the interrupted season wouldn’t be too bad (a lot better than 16th anyway). So until we can add polish to the squad and coaching, substantially reducing those basic errors is key. Steve G appears to have helped in the 3 weeks he’s had the clipboard, but you just can’t (and shouldn’t have to) coach things like playing the ball the wrong way which leads directly to an opposition try at NRL level. That’s simply poor concentration.I think we have a decent chance but we need to cut out the basic errors which seem to have really stuffed us in so many games this year.
He may still only play limited minutes for now, as the first part of the half is played much faster and harder than the back end so he might not be able to keep it up. But I believe he can initially get us going forward moreso than Tolman and Napa. He just needs time to make that jersey his own.Like Ogden but not sure about his fitness to start. Only played a handful of games with limited minutes. Need to give him more time and hel come good.
Nice crystal ball work can you let Steve know the game hes going down in so he can have Cogger ready!Not bad, but I would rather Katoa than Tolman particularly on the bench.

I suppose we will look back on these crazy times and think of all the things that went wrong both on & off the field.Bang on mate.

Reckon Ogden will last maybe first 20 Minutes then Tolman will come on and play the rest of the game.He may still only play limited minutes for now, as the first part of the half is played much faster and harder than the back end so he might not be able to keep it up.

I would like to see Ogden put back on for the last 15 or so.Reckon Ogden will last maybe first 20 Minutes then Tolman will come on and play the rest of the game.
I noticed that a lot last year. I hadn't paid much attention to it this year and I've honestly only watched about 5 games with our lack of FTA tv games and Corona restrictions keeping me away from pubs early on. But I know what you mean. It really allows opposition defence to slide wide and muscle up, while meaning our centre and winger are almost playing on the same blade of grass.Anyone notice every panthers player straightens the attack when going wide the opposition move in which in turn leave them short out wide. When we go wide we run out of space cause the players with the ball are moving towards the sidelines?
Possibly... he might have said who he wants to see more of Eg Ogden Katoa etc... he knows SG fairly well I’m sure they are in regular dialogue.Not wanting to take it away from SG, but I wonder if Barrett is already making some calls behind the scenes...
I think the only reason many feel bad for him is because of the fact that our team isn't firing and our halves are not setting the world on fire. If we were winning and our halves combo was working well the same people would be like, "cogger who?".Agree but I think Cogger is just a bit slow and small for NRL these days. Would be different if he had the gifts of Alf or Baa but he doesn't.
Kaufusi was clearly hampered by this last weekend. In some sense would almost prefer to play given he is practically on one leg...Already without skipper Cameron Smith and livewire fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen, the Storm could be without duo Jahrome Hughes and Felise Kaufusi for Saturday’s clash with the Bulldogs. Hughes needs to overcome a corked hip which he picked up in Sunday’s win over the Knights, while Kaufusi has a quad complaint to overcome.
