Another bloody injury, Tom Eisenhuth has strained his calf (again). NRL have approved Chris Lewis to replace Eisenhuth in the squad.

Albert Vete and Ryley Jacks drop out of the squad.

Another calf injury at training, far out it's really starting to feel like this year is not meant to be.

It's not ideal either as we are starting to really get into our forward depth now.

Od say suli might be out too given Lumelume still in 19

A bit disappointed we havent heard nothing from storm this week about Tui, Dale and Suli injuries. Unless i missed it.

On the other hand look at the positive. It DIDN'T happen during a game where we would have lost a player and been down to 3 on the bench!

If they are on their game this squad can beat anyone - no need to panic yet.

Gosh I really like Tom Eisenhuth but he really needs to get his body into better shape. "injury prone" doesn't even begin to cover it.

I'll admit to not seeing why he was picked at the start of the year, but having seen more than 3 minutes a game out of him, I really like Eisenhuth now. Very frustrating.

Another calf? Surely the S&C coach needs to have a thorough review of what he did/didn't do to their calves!

Who wants to guess how many crusher tackles 'Milker' Sivo tries for?

They aren't. Storm's decision making has been appalling. Ball control is not great and timing is off.
We've had heaps of possession and squandered most of it.

My missus has taken the dog and gone out!

The Eels aren't that good, but we've been worse.

This appears to be illustrating the argument against resting all of your players a week out from the finals - our combinations/timing has been WAY off in this one.

Having Klown on the Eels side offsets the loss of Sivo.

We have stabilised at end of first half. I am happy with 12-all after the start. We look dangerous down our left wing.

Honestly, just hold onto the damn ball.

The guys have put together five line breaks. Just cut to that left and get someone to back up on the inside.
