It’s game day ffs!

Notice the difference in tackling styles between the two sides. Storm always put the player on their back, we do it rarely.

I did notice an improvement in the way we used the sideline in defence. Our wingers were able to prevent major overlaps which is a good sign.

He isn't holding the club to ransom atm, and i thought he was dreadful tonight. I even said the coach needs to give him a rocket.

When do you think BA will talk to him? Drown has talent but most of it is stored away under a cabana somewhere.

 

[the phantom menace]

I wish they panned to Matterson, boo the greedy prick!!!

He probably wasnt at the game - could have been at Woolies to do the grocery shopping, like Hayne that week he was given a game off?

 

[lucablight]

Lumelume cost us two tries in end.

Russell probably scores that first try. Bro just knows how to find the line.

 

[Legal Eel]

Dumb play.

Dumb halves tonight.

Dumb coaching.

Just dumb.

Can only wipe it and move on. Quickly.

That as well. Waqa scores it.

His missed tackle on the first try was average defemse also. Dropped ball terrible.

He played ok but overall.

Just got home from the game. Well that was f'd.
Moses please...u want $1.25m a season. Dude u shit the bed way too often.
Was dylbro even playing?
Honestly the worst use of the bench continues. NFI...
If ever there was going to be fatigue and lack of match fitness this game and the early rounds are it...
Dumb and dumber

He is committed at least unlike the fraud of a half back

Just back from the game, not sure how it looked on tv, but felt like the game was who played better in the 6;7 and 9. When it counted, the Storm trio stepped up and that was the game.

a missed relatively easy conversion, a lack of communication between the halves and frustration from being held down in the play the ball contributed to our downfall. The new players did OK, Waqa really needs to make plays , at the moment he’s just out there.

The first half we were good. We were trying to drag them back like panfers.
2nd half no. Either we were knackered or the subs we sub par. Murchie and jirah were disappointments.

I thought emu was a handful

These are all different propositions to the post I responded to mate, you aint putting middles on to cover outside backs when you have edge forwards available.

It's an extension of the post you replied to... about the bench rotation considerations - point is whatever he was planning versus whatever he chose not to do left key guys tired that shouldn't have been - a 16-man system in a 17-man game that (again) is not fit for purpose.

Waqa needs to make plays out to another club altogether.

When your two props make over 190m, your lock over 170m and even Cartwright at 143m it means that the forwards have laid the foundations for the backs to win the game especially our halves. They failed miserably.

Munster with a bone sticking out his hand made them looking like monkeys trying to f**k a football.

The amount of minutes for two of those contributed to that. Poor decisions whist fatigued cost us in the end....i predict it'll continue to cost us for some time.

 

[hineyrulz]

How a 10 year coach still can't work out a bench rotation is still beyond me.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Can anyone tell last time moses has kicked a FG when scores were level.

His 2 FGS last year when we were in front by 30.

That’s the difference. The Storm led by Munster found a way to win under adversity . Their ability to take it to another level while we fluffed our way hoping to score off low percentage plays showed up our discipline along with our big name players not stepping up for the occasion.

 

[Chipmunk]

First time out of the Top 8 at any stage since the end of 2018.

I'll be interested to see how quickly we get back into it. Given the fatigue levels we're going to have in our key forwards over the next month or so, I'm not sure we'll be back there anytime soon.

 

[the phantom menace]

That as well. Waqa scores it.

If Waqa's on the wing to score that try, he's also on the wing for any club to target high balls at all night for a brace of tries. Blake to wing shouldn't even be a consideration.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Hopgood looked sensational. Once our pack is full strength we’re going to be a handful. Should’ve won the game but we will be alright.

 

[84 Baby]

We had 53% possession and scored 12 points.

Looked to me to be an execution problem from the players with ball in hand though
