Munster, Olam and JAC were all backing off while Chambers and Suli were rushing. Backing off Leilua isn’t exactly a good idea but we handled him pretty well apart from a couple crucial moments.

The touchy is a dipshit but we should have had the game wrapped up much earlier.

When we made the looong break down field Paps was pulled down, nothing, and then Croker holds on right in front of the posts till all his mates are back on side, penalty only for the thoroughly professional foul.

We shot ourselves in the foot, over and over and over again. Holding the ball would be good.

Did we use our full bench?

Stimson did not get of the park. What a waste

Chambers giving away that penalty on the first tackle near their line has probably cost us the Premiership. He should never play for the Storm again

That was the worst... most frustrating game i have ever watched

so many things went wrong...

just needed to score 1 try when it was 10-6

kept dropping the ball

when fox dropped the ball to give them a try that was the game right there

that touch needs a bullet

season done

Gee what a sleepless night. Still shaking my head at what happened.

Chambers has to go for Scott. When was the last time you ever saw Chambers make a line break or stand up and beat his man??!! All he does is make stupid mistakes and put in stupid kicks. One trick pony.

King 10 minutes and Stimson 0 minutes. Can blame literally anything after a loss but that just seems bizarre to me.

Far be it for me to agree with the Short One, but Chambers is done.

Scott isn’t the answer. But Chambers is so done.

Chambers is done but Scott, is not the answer. Hughes is not what we need a half back, but Croft is the answer. So with the season on the line who do we play. Should we have the answers by now, the season started a very long time ago. We won a lot of games and Scott and Croft played in a few of them. This is not the time to be trying different things. But if we loose next week we can always start planning the new things.

We just have far too many nice guys in our team and not enough aggressive feared players. Look at a decade ago and we had badasses with mongrel like Jeremy smith, Blair, Lima, manu and crocker. Now we just have nice blokes like Stimson, Welch, kaufusi

Chambers was fine before moving back over to the right side. Not being able to figure out a combination on that edge has totally messed us up on both sides of the ball.

How come so many members didn't take out the same seat option last night. So many members around me were missing. Where did they go?
