I will be tipping the Storm to win this one. By quite a large margin at that. My prediction is 30-6

[Super Cronk]

question guys, how does Soward go at fullback? I know he is a very fast bloke....but his size and the fact that he plays halfback most the time leads me to believe he wouldnt be that good a fullback...

[Teegy]

i actually didn't watch him last week. so id like to know that to SC

Well, they put Preston on the wing at the Sharks.

I'm hoping they put Slater in the number 3 and move King out to the wing where he's meant to play.

I tipped Storm, they probably only lost last week because of their Origin stars missing.

King on the wing? gotta say i disagree with that. Altho he has done a graet job for NSW and a solid job for his country on the wing at club level thats not his best position. I much prefer him at centre...

King was simply awesome when he was on the wing and still had the 'fro. Now Inglis is the greater threat for the opposition.

[Teegy]

gotta argee with SC. King is a centre who fills in at wing for interantional. Jake webster is the Winger who is filling in ATM because slater was out and Inglis went to fullback

SMH

Slater has discovered he will have to fight for his spot, with Storm coach Craig Bellamy keeping Greg Inglis at fullback. Slater, back from a seven-week suspension, was named as 18th man against the Roosters but may play for feeder club Brisbane Norths.
