Eisenhuth had as many runs and more metres than both our starting backrowers. He played like 10 minutes.

Very happy with that score line, though it definitely flattered us.

Agree that Jahrome looked excellent tonight. He needed to step up and did so.

Momirovski has grabbed that centre position inside Suli , but suddenly Olam looks uncertain on the other side.

Tino continues to impress, with increased minutes .

Paps was superb all night, both in attack and defence.

I enjoyed the special comments of Corey Parker. Being a Queenslander he doesn’t have that anti- Storm bias of so many of them.

Big big test next week. Only 6 day break, so Munster and Welch would be very doubtful.

We have players in doubt for next week's v Roosters. Roosters have had Radley and Verrills go off with knee injuries.

Apparently Munster set to miss 4 to 6 weeks.

Looking ahead to to next week Trent Robinson also just said that Isaac Liu broke a rib tonight, so he must be in doubt for next week too.

To be honest I don't think we are expecting to beat the Roosters or Raiders, I think getting game time in as many players as possible is key right now. I hope no one is rushed back. However, the Roosters game became very winnable due to the devastating dual ACLs

It's all played between the ears, if we don't take them lightly we should be able to get up for the Roosters.

Think my ideal Munster replacement for the next month is have C.Smith in halves with Johns on the bench. Would help ease Johns into first grade and give Brandon a crack at hooker.

Nicho Hynes instead of Johns, please.

Feel like we should have him be a backup only if Paps gets injured.

Dally M votes from this game:

3 - Ryan Papenhuyzen
2 - Jahrome Hughes
1 - Suliasi Vunivalu

All three were very good but I find it surprising that Cam Smith didn't get any points... MOTM was between Paps and Smith for me. Can't find who the Dally M judge was.

Suli getting a vote over Smith is goddamn hilarious.
