Pathetic attempted tackle by Chambers

Titans couldn’t have used Max King?

Hughes’ performance tonight was ah not a good one. Prefer that not to happen the next month thanks.

Hughes had a better second half. Still much more faith in him over Croft.

Max King was excellent once again. Great pick-up :-D

NAS was huge. Paps was electric once again. And the GOAT was the GOAT.

How much work did Paps get through? Jesus Christ! He’s only 80 kilos ffs.

30 Runs and 300m... Incredible.

Weird game. Storm seemed to dominate, not do much but win easily. Two of the Cowboys’ three tries were really out of nothing.

The scoreline really didn’t reflect the contest but I thought the Cowboys actually played quite well asides from a few horrific penalties they gave away.

Only missed 18 tackles which was really impressive.

Max King was excellent. He’s a big man too - he’s filled the void left by Christian Welch really, really well.

I also thought it was interesting how much the attack favoured the right side. That must have been a focus going into the game to try and tighten up the attack on that side of the field.

Anyone else notice the guys are kicking much earlier in the tackle count? I reckon Bellamy’s brought that in to try and catch teams off guard a little - the Storm are also the worst team for five-tackle sets this year having kicked the ball dead more than anyone else.

Dear all,

Last night I was at the G watching the mighty Pies defeat Geelong. Did the Storm play a departing players video? If so, other than Joe Stimson, who else was on it?

To the best of my knowledge, Papenhuyzen's 300 mt is a club record.

I was watching Croft in defence and he did really well for the most part. Much improved over the start of the season.

Kenny will get the blame for it but Croft should've done more to stop Drinkwater on the Cowboys 2nd try.
