Very impressed how we played that , to think this is the team that has turned up crap all year and to play back to back good games is nothing short of a minor miracle.

Reece at the back has been a shining light for us and makes losing Dugan bearable to say the least.

Reece Robinson is a underrated player

Shaun Fensom - 22 runs for 207 metres, 35 tackles, 1 line break... what a player.

Surely they won't put Dugan back at FB when he comes back because Reece has been the shining light for these dopes recently,Duges might have to go in the centres or something

A real worker. Wouldn't mind Souths getting him.

Is he an Origin style player?

I think so, he's been unfairly pigeon-holed as a defensive workhorse, reality is he's great on both sides of the ball.

Also worth noting, this is only the second time in Bellamy's reign as coach that the Storm have conceded 8 tries in a match.

Reece Robinson has got to be up there as one of the most improved players of the year.

Great win by Canberra, fun game too watch to.

40 -12 a very flattering win for the raiders, but you have to wonder if the score would have blown out as much if all the raiders forward passes were pulled up.

Shaun Fensom is a North Coast country boy. He is DESIGNED for Origin. Unfortunately he wasn't raised in the spotlight of the Sydney high school system so he didn't come up through rep grades ergo he will never be automatically considered for Origin. If he puts in statistic performances like that for a few weeks in the lead up to Origin next year he has a chance though. He will star at Origin. He is just awesome.

He would have to be close to the most penalised player in the comp but besides that I love him. He was a bit rusty a few weeks ago coming back from his bicep injury but he has been great and tonight was his best game of the year. He was in everything, just didn't stop.

Other time was the 2008 GF I assume?

edit:
Had a look, also happened 3 times in 2003.

irrelevant stat given so many of those games the storm won/lost were under false pretences.
