Exactly. That last 10 minutes from the storm is probably the poorest i've seen us play. You can't have like 5 sets on the opposition line and not go for a field goal, it's just criminal. I really expected more from Cam Smith in this situation.
Impressive performance by the sharks. Bird, Gallen and Kearney proved to hard to handle the three of them played excellent today. I really think the sharks forward pack looked impressive. Also a big rap on Pomeroy, i think he really defended well on Folau.
As for the Storm performance, definitely the worst i've seen for a few years but a lot of that was due to the pressure from the sharks. Another poor game by brett white. I'm surprised his back wasn't green by the end of the game cause he was getting put onto it every tackle.
Steve Turner.... he has nospam29. I don't mean the try line either. He just keeps going into touch. Pretty much every time he gets the ball he either goes into touch or gets himself to close to the sideline.
Matt Geyer, i've said it before and i'll say it again he needs to retire. He was the worst on the field for the short 10 minute stint they had him on. His lost his speed, and he adds nothing while on the field. Hopefully when Inglis comes back Aitken gets his spot on the bench. I have a lot of respect for Geyer, but the fact is he isn't up to standard anymore.
I think Will chambers seems to reluctant to put the foot down. He keeps getting caught dancing around rather than trying to take the line on. I think he looks like his gonna be a good player but certainly i'd like to see some more aggression on attack.
I was a little surprised how much Aitken was forced to step up on 5th tackles. In the first half Cronk stood up to the plate and took control of the team when we were down. In the second half he went missing on a number of occasions leaving alot of the pressure on Aitken.
Overall whilst i'm disappointed with our performance, i can still see a few positives and i'm glad we got beaten early in the season. Hopefully Bellamy gets around to fixing a few of our problems.
