I feel for Wishart, he's not a winger. I don't know why Young didn't move to the wing where he has experience playing and let Wishart move in one which would be closer to his preferred halves position. He plays with a lot of heart. He’s tough as nails but he’s clearly not a back. I think he might b...

Just saw a clip of the Luai shoulder charge on Asofa-Solomona. That’s an absolute shocker. Here it is for anyone who hasn’t seen it: https://twitter.com/mrchrisnico/status/1687425044266520576?s=46&t=zDYV3fxGbEv2O0jTqMQ3ag Given what we’ve seen in the last 48 hours he is very, very lucky he wasn’...

That period just before half-time with that weird Welch off-load and the two King penalties were really costly. Outside of that - losing Jennings midway through the first-half, not having Hughes and Coates, and having to do that much defence I’ll take that loss. The second-half was an improvement as...

Welch loves a poorly timed offload doesn’t he?

That was awful.

The backline badly lacks any penetration - ditto the forward pack.

It might be a weird thing to say but I think the team badly needs Katoa back to move NAS back to the middle or the bench. Forward rotation is a bit off.

That was a real load of horses***.

Utterly trash. Sims should never play for the Storm again.

Too many rushed passes. Bad defence. Really annoyed.

Thirty-four missed tackles.

He’s a total monster. He has to be in the 17 every week.

That was atrocious. Forty-nine missed tackles.

Really annoyed with some of the efforts cleaning up kicks too.

The kicking game is going to need to be a tonne better. The Panthers have this ability to really force teams to work out of their own end meaning when they receive from kicks they’re in prime field position. The good news is with the roof closed it’ll allow the Storm to play an expansive running game.

Thought after a poor first-half that Pezet was awesome. He’s got great vision.

Weird bench last night too - at one stage it was Wishart, Garlick and Sims so the middle forwards had to play bigger minutes.

Good to see the backs took pressure off them though with some really good runs out of the 20.

Need to just hold the pill. Eight errors in a half is horrific.

This is utter trash. No energy at all.

Apparently because he's played right wing before. He's coming off a very good game but very odd. As I've said before his reputation outweighs his actual performance and he'll always be in and around rep sides because of it. Also helps that he's a nice guy. It’s funny - he’s either absolutely sensat...

Loved how direct the attack was.

Hughes really hit the line at speed and passed right on contact causing all sorts of problems.

The forwards were excellent in contact - ran hard and straight.

Can’t think of a single player who had a bad game.
