We are no chance but a showing like 2017 would be good at least we would have something to add to the week after rather than having to try and get up after a massacre!

We are a chance...
I'd have best defenders in every position start. Keep it as tight as can for 25mins and if its nil all slowly increase our attack.
Does this mean Jnr on bench and start with Lane? I think so.
I'd also consider Niakuore start over Brown. Then inject the fire power.
Play slow. Kick for touch. Dick about with ham string. Talk to ref. Make it boring and no rhythm to anything for first 25-30.
Last thing we want is an ambush 20 nil after 25mins and no ball....
If we get to the 60th minute within 1 score we might have a bit too much energy and desire for them.

As I said earlier you need to ruffle.Cam up. Call him some of the lowest things imagine. Twist his ears. Cheap shots etc.... Get him upset and off game.... And I would also fake injuries once we are on our 5th tackle so when they get ball off kick we get a rest. Use this twice in the game atleast.....

It would be ironic if Matto missed a game against the Storm due to a crushed charge.

On the flipside, if he does, I would expect the Storm to be 3 players down for their 2nd finals game. That is, if there is any consistency.

With the Storm still to play today, if there was any inconsistency in the NRL MRC and judiciary process, they should be down those 3 players next week.
But don't worry, they will be full strength because it's the Storm.

Storm will be pouncing on our errors or stupidity eg poor kicks, poor pass etc..

Keep these right down and we can tango with them

We did a lot of kicking behind the defence v tigers, for one result. Like to see this as well, on 4th or 5th tackle, however Storm will expect this, so get a grubber kicks going the other way as well (towards the goal posts), as Papenheyen will be running the other way. In other words we need to out smart them. Need to up the ante with decoys

I am not confident we will get near them, unless we keeps errors to a minimum and have over 50% of the ball

Surely we’re due against the storm, surely every pec pulling, cap cheating, ref influencing moment we’ve endured will balance out next week

100%

We are due a win against the most hated club in the league. We need BA to show them the 2017 finals match. No. 1 lesson - put the man with the ball down!

I’m on the bandwagon we can win this!

I honestly think the last two weeks the attack has looked better and we are doing things in patches with it. We didn’t want to show too many trick shots till we got to the finals!
We have proved we can defend very well and I think we can frustrate the storm.
I’d have W.Smith as 14, need to reward just how good he had been playing!
Start Davey and Lane back to the bench.
Drown is a worry in terms of I don’t want to push him if he isn’t 100%, would rather him fresh for a must win, if he isn’t fit Smith can do a job! But I’d start with Nrown at 5/8th to have a defense heavy first 20 and really get in the face of the storm and bash the forwards!
This is gonna be a bash game, bring it on!
I’ll be there

Well, if we can just put up a gutsy effort against Melbourne, we might be chance against Souths the following week. I'd keep Brown out for another week. We can't win this.

One thing storm like to do is have their wingers zero in on the attacking team. A few kicks in behind early in the game might keep them guessing and make them tentative.
I would be bombing to Ado
Carr's side as Waqa and Fergo have a distinct height advantage over him and Olam.
I would also put in grubber quicks to Vunivalu's side as he has an error or 2 picking up the low bouncing ball.

Will Smith didn't get charged? ..... The Fox commentary team pretty much decided he needed to get the electric chair last night
