Panthers missing halfback and hooker. Lost fullback in first half.
Hynes at fullback makes minimal loss to Storm attack and Smith at hooker is likewise a minor downgrade. Their spine was at atleast 75% of its potential.
Panthers spine probably started out at 75% potential and dropped to about 50% when Edwards got injured and we threw May at fullback.
Storm look sweeter in attack against a putrid defence. Definitely. But there's not much between them against a good defence.
Yep and Edwards started that game on fire, he was the best player on the park until halftime, it was huge loss in the context of the game.
