Another 10 props could pull out of the Kiwi squad and Lima still wouldn't get in, he was actually dropped by the Storm twice this past season due to poor form.

To be fair Storm did not have much insentive to play this season. Play out the year and disband does not raise standards. Madge does know the players and I do not see him importing dead wood.

To be fair I couldn't work out why we signed Coley........ But look at him now. Lima will be fine but I don't think that any of the signings will be a silver bullet. It's still gonna take even more hard work next season to win things.

It absolutely baffles me that Feka was so popular, he was overweight, overpaid, couldnt tackle, lazy and once the rest of the teams in super league sussed him out very easy to stop! If he was that good he would have signed to a top team, not Salford. I for one am glad we have got rid he was never good enough and you insult Hendy by mentioning Feka in the same breath!

Yawn!

Considering he made 20 appearances (when the most any other Melbourne player made was 23) hardly seem like a player spending more time on the sidelines than on the field as you intimate. Finch made 21 appearances and Hoffman 16 btw so what does that tell anyone?

All the best for the final game of the season boys. It will be a sad day, seeing so many players in the storm colours for the last time. To G.I, Ryan, Brett, Jeff, Aiden and Finchy, thankyou for the contribution each of you has made to the club. You have all helped to make the storm the champion team we know they are.Thanks for the great memories. To all the players this year, all your fans are incredibly proud of the way you have carried yourselves and represented the melbourne storm throughout this difficult year

First of all, i would like to say a huge thanks to GI, Finchy, Hoffy, Jeff Lima for your awesome efforts playing with the storm over the years, you guys are awesome and you always put 110%. Finchy and Coops, seen your segment on Matty johns show last night, you bought tears to my eyes.
A couple of quotes from Melbourne fans about their players efforts. None disparaging like yours.

Note this one - which for me says everything about this season for the Storm

2010 is an artificial season.

I think you'll find Jeff wasn't 'dropped due to form' but rested to allow bellyache to get other forwards up to speed for 2011.
Providing Jeff doesn't succumb to the Northern winter,(joking),he'll he hungry to take a few early scalps & the St merge pack is a prime target :cool:

Did you go to the last league home game against the Bulls Slimshady, I suppose you are easily baffled by the tens of thousands of true supporters repeatedly shouting Paleaaesina, Paleaaesina at the end of the game.
I wonder how many supporters will be shouting Lima, Lima after the same time of service Iafeta has provided to Wigan Warrior.
I think not.
