Re: Melbourne Storm 2021
It's a very, very strong squad with Brandon Smith on the bench. Best #14 in the game to the point he's one of the more influential players in the entire comp.
Reimus Smith is not a good player but I think they'd take the lack of threat and prefer just less mistakes than Vunivalu was starting to leak. He was a bit of a weak point by the end there (despite being a huge attacking threat) just considering the way they prefer to play.
The development of Harry Grant and Jahrome Hughes will be key. I used to think Hughes just was never going to be a FG halfback.

Re: Melbourne Storm 2021
Reimis is solid at best, but I think Bellamy will do what he has always done very well. Teach him his role in the side, focus on consistency and the basics and minimising errors. I think he has been recruited primarily to kick goals, with Cam leaving.BadnMean wrote:It's a very, very strong squad with Brandon Smith on the bench.

Shoving it in your face since 2017
Re: Melbourne Storm 2021
Reimis can be very good if he stays injury free. I think that’s the key question.

Would it be fair to say the storm and raiders have the most stacked forwards packs in the nrl?
Still think raiders have the best with all the depth we have. Some good players missing out on selection that would walk into other starting clubs starting sides.
