Souths are the biggest pretenders who've ever pretended, and that's saying something when Parratenders exist too.

Id replace Eisenhuth with one of Paulo or RCG. But f**k the rest of that pack for anything other than depth.

I'd take Papali'i off them and use him as our bench edge forward with Martin playing in the middle.

They have a good pack no doubt, up there with the best but for this new game its a little big with not enough skill through the middle. Nathan Brown is a lock four years ago but in todays game he is a prop, you need more skill and passing from the lock now to really take advantage of the speed of the game. They should try Matterson there.

Turbo is the best player in the game which is scary because he still committed a few errors last night. If he brushes up on some of them they'd be close to unstoppable. He completely outclassed 'King' Gutho who is overrated by Parra fans - though he is still an excellent fullback and generally underrated.

I don't fear any other teams now other than the Storm or Manly. Roosters I would certainly fear if they were healthy.

Parra fans are all blaming Waqa Blake - who did not have a good game - but honestly Manly were that good that I don't think a Prime Dean Whare in his place would have made much of a difference.

I was critical of the way we moved him on - but he obviously didn't fit our culture and I am happy to be wrong on this one and am also glad we did it.

Also LOL at them for resigning Fergo for another year. What a dud.

Manly have nothing for us. Cleary and Critter totally shut him down and will again if need be

Yep we handled him well. If you look at his performances either side of his game against us it is pretty clear that we managed him well. I think he scored against us and that was it.

They got close that game but look at their tries.
Intercept
Grubber that hits the post and a long range try down our weaker left side.

That is allowing for us playing at prob 80%

Tommy T has made a huge difference but at the same time they have actually unearthed some young very promising forwards. I thought when AFB went to the Warriors they were stuffed up front but watching there resurgence in recent weeks it is not just Tommy T is is there forwards as well, fair play to them.

Halftime
Storm 16 broncos nil
Storm have been average
Broncos plenty of chances
Milford would not even make a st Mary’s a grade team .You would think by now the coach would have him hooked he is that bad

Broncos were in that until Milf made a poor attempt at impersonating a footballer.

Depending on how many we're missing i think next weeks the week we lose.

Capewell. Cleary and Yeo are certainties.

Without them it's tough. But we still have a strong roster available. If we lose a couple or more of Koroisau, Luai, Martin, Crichton, Burton and To'o were venturing towards a largely NSW Cup side. Thankfully Fittler seems to think fitting in big names is more important than picking form players with combinations in their natural positions.

I think at most Luai and/or Martin crack the squad with the other 3 and that's it.

Then again, it doesn’t bode well for Wests Tigers chances for 2021 if their team at full strength (I can’t think of anyone from their current line up that would make either Origin side) is not able to match our side missing (potentially) 5 players.

It will be an interesting encounter.

Edwards may not be there either he currently has not joined team training with his hammy problem so we could have 6 plus Edwards out
