Finally it seems that Storm have worked out the Warriors style.

They outmuscled the Warriors in the forwards which is a rarity and defended Vatuvei with ease.

Neilsen, Bromwich and Slater were the best for Storm.

Maloney needs to go for the Warriors...he offers little in attack and Johnson needs a more dynamic partner to give them any opportunity of saving this season IMO.

What the hell happened to the Warriors ? Last year they were the better attacking teams in the NRL, they just seem to lack something this year.

Did the coach tell them to stop playing ad lib or something ?

Also these refs are scumbags, Melbourne are getting away with murder and they're barely being penalised for it.

Penalty found should be 10-5 warriors.

Cohesion most likely. We just can't keep everyone on the field at the same time this year, especially in the spine. Feels like everyone has had a turn at being injured for a couple of weeks at least.

Storm did what they do so well, applied pressure and then pounced when the pressure created an opportunity.

We're 0 and 4 with Fish at the back - no real surprises in this loss. TBH our 2012 campaign is just being crushed by injuries and poor individual performances from veterans like Vatuvei. That game actually went far worse than I expected... what a terrible team performance.
