[Daeman]

Can't wait to see how we play, going to be interesting given the late changes.

Final line-up. Not a great bench.

[Kettles]

I used to rate Tamou, but he is a big sftcck isn’t he. I always fancied Bellamy turning him into a beast if he ever came to Melbourne, but he’s just soft...and rubbish.

Wow what a half, seeing the line up I was happy to not lose by 35 and drop to 3rd, but we are playing with a lot of heart if not much else, Finucane and Welch have been heroic and are carrying us to victory, the forward pack has been immense, Drinkwater has shown some nice touches and the outside backs are working hard, only gripe is Hughes and Jacks have been bang average, even with the line up we have the ball and field position we’ve had to only create one try against 12 men for 20 minutes is poor, but we are hanging tough and the 2nd half should be interesting viewing!

[blazza18]

Not a hot take to say we don’t have enough points in us to win the comp. Could not have asked for a better situation in the first half and the only try we scored was the backrower throwing a dummy.

[yourhero]

Not a pretty game of footy. 1 line break a piece and a plethora of penalties.

The Panthers will be absolutely stoked to only be 4 behind with less than 40% possession. The possession will swing and we need to maintain high standards with our defence.

It is great that we will hopefully get some big guns back for week 1 of finals but no form and questions over match fitness and combinations running into finals is a real concern.

[blazza18]

Markers nowhere to be found. Scott trotting back as they go down his edge. Brutal defence.

Remember if we get beaten by 35 we end up 3rd

[yourhero]

Olam is a sideline magnet.

[1999]

What an effort, never been happier after a loss, with the cattle we have sitting on the sidelines we should have been no chance, boys can hold their heads high, they showed a lot of heart tonight and I’m proud to be a Storm fan.

[blazza18]

59% possession and would’ve been flogged with better goal kicking. We were honestly very poor.

Great debut for Drinkwater however.

Hey TC, what’s the chance of getting this bloody site to Remember Me after I tick the box every time and still I have to sign in, each and every time. Bloody annoying. Thanks in advance.

Remember, trolling is naughty and will result in a holiday.

[Insomniac]

Pathetic show from Scott. No desire to get back in defense, constantly out of position or beaten.

Still far too many sets without our forwards getting involved or having any impact.

I really can't see us clicking in attack in the finals given the disruptions we've had to our lineup all year, and with only a week to get this right it just isn't going to happen.
