Bloody proud of the boys despite the loss. When we get our missing players back, we're cruising back to the top 4.
5 starts for 2 wins after declaring yourselves premiership favourites? Gai Waterhouse would be calling you the best horse she’s ever trained.

Cracking game between two top sides. I think the defence manual went out the window for both teams there but it made for some entertainment.

Felt like we probably should have been a bit more comfortable with the win but I’ll take it

I'd feel better about the Storm than the Broncos. Close to every try the Broncos scored tonight was a bit of a freak one. Storm won by playing better footy....score flattered Brisbane a bit I thought.

Yeah, in the context of the season I am not too concerned, but still some poor defensive reads that need addressing

Think the result's about right - only a couple of points in it. Yes the Broncs dropped 2 certain tries, but so did Remis Smith - one he tripped over his own feet with Warbrick outside with a clean run to the line, and another where he fumbled a pass with the line open.
Both sides have plenty to work on in defence.

Not to mention when the game was there for Brisbane they absolutely choked and gave up two soft tries. One team has a winning mentality, another just have a few exciting players who every so often find themselves in space.

Getting call after call wrong as usual. They’ll come out and apologise for all of his terrible decisions on Monday before announcing he’ll ref all 3 origin games, the grand final and have a solid gold statue built in his honour outside TAB headquarters.
Haha... even when they punish him for a poor game, their form of punishment is to put him in the bunker where he can f**k it up even more.... following Tuesday - for Christ's sake, give him back his whistle.

NRL physio seems to be wary of the Reynolds initial diagnosis

That's not how I read the tweet...

He mentions the innocuous nature of the injury, and then mentions, how given the knee issues, that it could be an injury as a result of compensation.
