Booked my flights today. Fly 10th to 17th thru Kayak for £640. Hotel and match ticket booked also.

Gonna fly to Sydney for a day trip also. Tour of MCG and the Ausralian Sports Museum. Should be a terrific week. Unfortunately i cant see us competing but should be a fabulous experience.

I'm not as pessimistic as some. Cooper Cronk won't be playing for Melbourne, and that's a huge loss for them, Jordan McLean, and Tohu Harris, have gone as well, and we have a stronger 17 than last season, and I'm confident we'll compete better than we were 2 years ago.

Hope so Charlie but what preperation will we have? We wont lad in Melbourne until Sunday at the earliest as we play KR on the Thursday.

Yeah Storm have lost a few but theyve also signed players like Kasiano amd i believe Hoffman etc. Going to be very difficult task for Leeds if not impossible.

Should be an amazing experience tho. Looking forward to it. Ive gone over to America last few years to watch NFL which has been incredible and im sure this Melbourne trip will be equal of that.

Kasiano is a good signing, but a step down from McLean, and Hoffman will be 34, and was poor for the Warriors.
Their defense and ability to control the ruck will prove the difference. Although, it's being played in Melbourne's pre-season as well, so it's not all stacked against Leeds.

Re: WCC18 | Melbourne Storm v Leeds Rhinos : Sun Dec 03, 2017 9:51 am  

Kasiano is a very poor signing for Melbourne way below their standard.

Re: WCC18 | Melbourne Storm v Leeds Rhinos : Sun Dec 03, 2017 10:04 am  

What is it with the use of the description poor? Poor what? Player? Attitude? Both Kasiano and Hoffman are better than any players we have, so not sure poor would be the right term.
