Re: Today's crowd
I was surprised at how many Storm fans were at the game today. Raiders fans were in the majority, but only by one or two thousand. I don't know if that's really accurate. I thought there may have been around 1,000 Storm fans there, maybe 1,500 at most. In any case, the Raiders fans that were there ...

Good Thread. Tilse is an absolute monster in the attacking zone, it is where he is at his best, quite unusual for a front rower. He is a massive threat. Watching the game again, not only has the big man developed a tremendous, clean offload but has developed a cute little wrap around play which was...
