Chambers comes in when he didn't need to. Leaves Suli with 2 to defend.

Only ever going to be one outcome there.

They have that covered if they don't rush up. Or even if they did rush up at least force a decision instead of stopping before the ball is passed.

How has his kicking licence not been permanently revoked yet? Another nothing early tackle kick.

Kick was on the 4th and at least got into the in goal. Better chase was needed.

I think the Storm need to take kicking licence off both centres. If Scott passes to Addo-Carr we score.

To be fair, if anyone should have their kicking licence permanently removed, it’s Slater.

Looking ahead to our next game v Roosters on Friday 29 June, we may need to find three new players. Surely it will be tough to back up on Friday night for NZ players after playing Sunday morning (our time) in Denver. NAS, Brandon Smith and Kenny Bromwich could all be picked by NZ.

I think Hoffman has developed into a really good Left Right Out in 2018

Reasonably happy with an 18 point win. Still work to do. Last tackle options the priority.

Those three early chances can't be wasted against the top sides.

We're hanging around the top 4 which is good but I'm so unsure about how the team is currently playing.

Telling someone he was going to do it would be a good idea.

I thought it was a fair effort with some significant defensive lapses.
If the knights could hold the ball there were three very gettable tries for them.
