As I say only saw 2nd half but Fox commentators seemed to suggest Iongi was decent in a badly beaten side.
He looks good on his feet but I felt he blew 2 x tries with the wrong pass. One lead to a Storm intercept. His speed was refreshing and is one to watch in future.
R.Smith went well without being great.
Storm where basicalt fully fit. The Eels entered the season with about 1.2mill in cap space spare. They released Sivo,RCG and Gutherson late and only replaced them with Williams and JAC.
Throw in Moses,Lane,Matterson,JAC,Simmonson and there is 3 million. Plus dead wood in Lussick,Bryce, Dunster who won't see NRL and there is another 750k
That's close to 5 million. Competing against a side who is probably 20% over the cap if included all the TPAS.
How they've managed to keep Faalgo and Pezet is mind blowing.
