Yep they were the obvious 2. But i didnt expect much of them cause they sre reserve graders... it was staines time to step up and he got hooked.

He wasnt to blame... it was just dissapointing he didnt takes hes oppurtunity
Was more Ivan trying to force Critter to do SOMETHING I think

First time kept scoreless since 2015 and tonight reminded me of the 2015 team.. toothless in attack and half the team injured or suspended.

Suddenly we go from being all fine and near unbeatable a few weeks ago to having all these guys out at once…Not good signs.
What the f**k is wrong with some of you people? Most the spine was out and we dominated field position. Learn to read a game

Staines was alright. No bad errors, 176m a line break assist. Obviously you want Edwards back but he wasn't bad.

I don't think anyone rates Critter anymore.

Good athlete with no nous.

Has no idea how how to burn his man or setup a winger.

Critta is overated as f@ck

Our management would be completely crazy to offer him anything close to the rumoured 700-750K he is apparently on. What we are getting from him this season would be 450K being generous 500K Max.

To'o was already playing less than his 20/21 seasons before Origin but since origin he has been very ordinary by his standards. Not icing tries he normally would. Not breaking tackles like he usually does but even worse is his decision making in defence.

I am hoping with To'o it is injury because if it isn't that would mean he is already in decline.

Tonight is about what you would expect a halves pairing of SOS and Salmon to do. Nothing.

Thank f**k we know we have luai and Cleary back for finals. Not sure what's up with Edwards. Hopefully just resting him for important games.

With all the ball and field position SOS couldn't do shit to maintain the pressure. Grind away at Storm and find a weakness. Just pissed it all away with poor decisions or execution

Your blind love for staines westy haha.

He looked scared to run again at times and threw way to many hail marys. Didnt get the defensive line set up at all.

I didnt expect a dylan performance but we saw some good but definitley some last year charlie staines tonight as well.. He looked clueless in attack at times. Which is disapointing because he hasnt played like how he has in cup.

I also really think hes actual game speed with footy in hand is a myth. Tago would be our quickest over 40 with footy in hand. He mowed down coates tonight easy.

I think if edwards is out next week turuva has to be fb.

Also again, if edwards is out long term, we will struggle to go back to back. Hes as important as api, nath and yeo.

We had feild position to win many times over .Having so many injuries finally caught up with us. We only need to win 1 more game to lock up first place .that target should be the warriors
No disappointed with the lose as I said a few days ago would be big lift for the club to win .The backs a getting hammered by a few on here but it starts with the halves playing sideways .We will bounce back next weeks side will be interesting

Very VERY rough and even unfair game to judge on but Turuva was my biggest disappointment for tonight, he was totally ineffective

And yeah, brian i think this year has been below his best..the weeks leading into origin he looked to be back... but since origin hes been off his best...

To much running like critta, the jink and weave at 3/4 pace. Turuva and tago carting it up at 100 miles an hour was nice to see..

Honestly crittas running style is quite frankly poor.. should me made to watch how joey manu runs on to a footy all week ffs.

Yeah sos and salmon were poor... but did anyone expect any different??? I honestly thought we were a 25% chance to get it done tonight. Cant lose guns and just keep winning.

These injuries and suspensions are hurting us.

It was just disapointing to see a few guys who should of stood up be avg. Leota and martins miss was sooo bad. Too and critta were poor.

Those 4 had a few moments that just werent up to their standards.

It was nice to see us fight and keep it nil all second 40... but a few supposed star individuals might need to look in the mirror this week.

Ummmm the bloke playing hes 2nd ever nrl game that topped our meters... and had equal most tackle breaks for the team?

He had zero fear. He gave it his all. For a bloke in his second game to produce those numbers in such a tight game is quite incredible.
