I’m seeing on Twitter FB by some that Cam Smith could have an Achilles injury - will have to wait and see

[RobbieRoss]

Well that was disappointing, particularly after the good start.

A couple of players to return, let's hope Brandon gets through his QCup match over the weekend.

Nine day break, then a HUGE home game against our old nemesis, the Sharks. I am looking forward to it already.

Apparently Cameron Smith is gone for the season. Archilles injury

[storminghome]

That was the loss we had to have. You can’t win 17 games in a row to win the Premiership

Well, after reading about the injury , seeing Bill replace him in press conference, and all the uncertainty about what might have occurred, suddenly I am not looking forward to next week so much. As far back as 2008 GF we saw what the Storm looks like without Cam Smith, we saw it again when he missed a week earlier this season. We made a GF without Bill, but GOAT is a different kettle of fish. Sounds dramatic, but I fear our season hinges on his prognosis.

Well that was just made up on the spot

I feel like craig has pulled a swifty on us ...half the team was out of position chasye and will in the complete wrong position our forwards were making no metres our backs were doing all their work
Our hooker was non existant in the second half came off with 10 to go and noone replaced him leaving us one man down and our Fullback was outplayed
Yet we only lost 30-20 yes it isnt good but lets be honest get Suli back get our forwards doimg their job and get brandon back in the team storm will be ok

56% possession helped but we were clearly out-muscled and out-enthused.

Hoffman turtled for each of those 9 runs.

[Deadpool]

Well apparently Smith played on for 10 minutes with the injury before coming off. Hopefully it’s not too bad

61% Completion Rate in the second half compared to the Rabbitohs 90%.

Craig and Bill were pretty good in the presser last night. Gave full credit to Souths while also focusing on what we did wrong. Neither came across as concerned which I guess is a positive?

I can't recall ever seeing a hooker run for 200m before.

61% Completion Rate in the second half compared to the Rabbitohs 90%.

We must have only passed halfway once or twice between the 40th and 70th minute. Gave ourselves zero chance to even try to get back into the game.
