And confirmed that we are 1-17.

I’m 99% sure Craig refused to rule out the Broncos job purely as standard procedure during his contract negotiations with the Storm.

BUT - a part of me really hopes that he refused to rule it out just to rile Bennett and put him in two minds :lol:

Doesn’t seem in Craig’s nature. But I still like to think about it as a possibility.

Bennett threw his toys out of the cot big time earlier in the week :lol:

I dont think Craig ( at the very least) would walk without a ready made replacement coach in waiting...

If that coach is not in the system already...Craig would want to know who it is...

Who says Will Chambers doesn't pass? Brilliant by Chambers, Vunivalu and Addo-Carr.

Apart from the refs gifting the Broncos a 7 tackle set and them scoring from it, everything is going our way here. I was surprised the first try was given but if that’s the rules then that’s the rules. Beautiful play from the Storm so far

Great effort from Storm to keep the Broncos out after back to back to back to back penalties. How did Broncos get penalty when Pengai Jnr bitch slapped Billy in the face?

Real good first half. The Addo-Carr try was one for the ages.
Matt Lodge is an a-grade f.wit but what's even worse is no one stood up to him and Kasiano not defending Slater a little better.
I disagree with the first Billy try, it's a knock-on in my books.

If it gets to golden point please don't pass to Billy: worst 'attempt at field goal' ever! :P

Lodge is the new Gallen, I can see him fitting role for the league if he stays out of prison.

Chambers played himself he needs to redeem himself ASAP

Cam smith being very cautious with his involvement tonight but I think Munster has been more measured with his choices and it has made up for it sufficiently. The left edge are now sorted, Jacks adds a little something that Croft is still developing in his game

We are a better side without Chambers.
How is Matt Lodge even a free man let alone being able to play NRL? Scum.
