Solomona says maybe because he’s tall, or maybe it’s the way he play.

The Storm also have possibly the best left edge for power and speed in Justin Olam and Josh Addo-Carr.

Olam is known as ‘The Brick’ Addo-Carr is called the ‘Foxx’.

The NRL grand final between the Storm and Panthers will kick off at 8:30 tonight. You can watch the match LIVE on FBC Sports channel.
