Teams do not win for weeks and weeks . Everyone else in the top 8 puts cricket scores on them. Along comes Storm and they play back well. Or do we just play bad. Somebody explain this to me please.

Nacho, your spot on. I thought Cronk had a chance to move it, Chambers also could of tried to set Duffy.
Maybe they should of played NAS? Lol.

Can't wait to hear Bellamy explain this. That was dead set embarrassing. Insipid. Awful. Season killing. So over this shit.

Yeah off-loads for second phase is one part of having a higher chance of winning games, it creates line breaks.

This team is on the bottom on the ladder, they win. When the Eels were on the bottom of the ladder they beat us. When the Manly were on the bottom of the ladder the won. Can not beat the top side can not beat the bottom sides. If the Titans loose this week end they will be on the bottom and they play us next week.

We have got to be the most inconsistent team this year

I demand an explanation as to why NAS was dropped.

Also, would hope certain players get a stern talking to this week. Especially Chambers. He's been amateur for a few weeks now.

Yeah I thought players feed off the hit-ups of NAS and the quick play the balls he was delivering. And yet he was dropped as you could see he must of been 18th man.

The let down for me I thought Harris and Chambers did nothing to set their outside man up all they kept doing was dummy and more dummies.

Too many inconsistent team selections may be their undoing.

It's like we hoped the Tigers would give up after we went up 10-0. Wasted a few other chances and then gave them a sniff. Credit to them for embarrassing us. Tedesco is a fun player to watch.

Also what I was thinking was if you watch the game again, the Storms staggered defensive line was getting picked apart by the West Tigers.
Tonight would of been served better with the whole defensive line staying intact as a straight line, too many players shot up too quick and left holes unfortunately.

I agree no idea why NAS didn't play. At the moment we don't have one decent centre. Harris is a forward and Chambers is playing poorly. Is Travis Robinson that bad or is he not worth a try?

We need centres and wingers but it appears the front office would rather be 'BBQ'ing alone'.
