If you have a strong spine, then you have a strong team. When comparing the best current NRL teams or teams of the past, the positions that are looked at are the three players that will touch the ball most during the course of the 80 minutes.
This is the fullback, the halfback and the hooker.
And when you throw in the premier centre in the game, it’s fair to say the Storm still have a formidable combination that can take them to Premiership glory.
And this time legally.
Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk, Cameron Smith and Greg Inglis are the men who you can build a team around. The Storm, in a way, are starting again, reportedly shedding ten players to fit under the salary cap.
Loyalty is something that is often forgotten about in rugby league, but these players have been adamant from the beginning of this Salary Cap investigation that they wanted to stay.
Offers have been coming from other NRL teams, Super League teams, rugby union teams and even
the AFL. But like the fans of the club, they are sticking with the team in its time of crisis.
The club will shed many players and the Storm’s scandal is another clubs’ gain, with the cut players joining rival NRL clubs and heading over to the English Super League.
But the demise of the Storm has been greatly exaggerated. The club will start with the rest of the pack in 2011, but still have four of the best players in the game and will push for their second NRL premiership.
