Storm team 1 to 17. Marion, Tui, Tino and Sandor out of 21.

GREAT first half! Playing with energy and intent. If the left is working, keep going to the well!

Brodie looks the most likely to deliver points for Brisbane.

Noticed that Lodge doesn't want to take runs anymore. Happy dishing out cheap shots and too scared to hit it up afterwards.

Lodge is a cat.
Right attack non existant but probably the game plan to target Turpin.

I was a little frustrated earlier with Munster’s passing being borderline forward. Olam can be lazy with his passing too at times.

Just quietly I think Chambers is in good touch lately and has carried it into this game.

Hope we carry on with it in the second and not let them back into it.

Paps doesn’t seem to be running under control the last few weeks.

And was not happy about it either. Thought Croft was average in first half but was better in second half before he got taken off.

Weird - the fact our guys put 40 past them doesn’t really even show how dominant they were I feel. I think they probably could have scored 60.

Make no mistake - was an absolute massacre.

The first-half was messy and disjointed for about 20 minutes but once the left side found space they killed them. Kenny Bromwich had three line-breaks, a try assist, two tries of his own and 130 running metres. He was the chief tormentor.

Ryan Papenhuyzen again off the bench ran for more than 200 metres.

There were 10 line-breaks and more than 2000 running metres too. This year at Suncorp the Storm have scored 104 points in two games and conceded just 14.

That’s just ridiculous.

Superb performance . Kenny amazing


At one point we had Jesse, NAS and Dale on the bench, so the middle 3 were Welch, Paps and Brandon . Great confidence in those blokes.

Very very interesting who will play 7 next week.

I thought Welch and Paps had cracking games; and Olam was much improved after some early errors.
