Munster and Kaufusi named in starting line up.

Should be an easy win as long as we don't underestimate them.

Good to see Vete back in. It will be only his 3rd game for Storm since joining us in mid-2018.

Great try saver by Papenhuyzen. Brilliant pass from Cameron Smith to Munster for our first try.

Not a great game but not bad either. I'd say just some mistimings but nothing that appears too hard to fix.

Titans players locking in the arm of our players to gain a set restart seems to be the only game plan they have, and the ref is too stupid to realise.

Can someone please tell Brenko that we should be able to beat the Titans without the unnecessary strips... :roll:

Oh, and that's the first time in my entire rugby league watching life that I've seen a blatant push in the back rewarded with a try to the offender! Nice one refs...

Olam has struggled since the restart. So many dumb decisions.

Imagine trying to stop NAS that close to the line. Had to feel for Ash Taylor.

Brenko Lee scores a try against his former side two weeks in a row.

Is Chris Sutton the biggest spud in the game? Had a shocker! Couldn't even award the Addo-Carr try in the end, was that far from reality.

Did anyone else notice NAS jump into dummy half and tell B.Smith to go away? 😂

Yes, that was funny.

We didn't play at our best and still won 42 - 6. Bring on the Broncos next week.

Titans were disgraceful and if you look at the stats you’d wonder how it was only 42-6. I wonder how improved our attack would be if we could just throw crisper passes?

The NAS and Smith front row pairing was fun.
