Unlucky? That is just p*ss poor team selection. Nothing else.

Tepai must be in the bad books, puzzling.

I feel like this result will define the postmortem of our season, failure and the questions about favourites, selections and players not pulling their weight will be amplified, if we win, CB almost gets a pass for the questionable tactics throughout the season.

Another preliminary appearance would be a huge accomplishment after the season we have had, so inconsistent so to still be there abouts is a credit to Craig but tonight is the big one, straight sets exit and all eyes and fingers will be pointed squarely at him probably for the first time in his coaching career, I doubt any other coach in the league would have held Sua back all season, let’s see if he can justify what he is doing.

Either way game time, we are all Storm fans and want the Dub, let’s go boys! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Munster has been quiet for a few weeks. Need him to pull a whole heap of magic out of the trick bag tonight.

NAS starting is a positive. I normally love him coming off the bench, but that is when we have confidence to go hard and match the opposition for 20mins. I don’t think we have that luxury at the moment, so getting him on the field early to try and win the ruck battle is a good move IMO.

Benching Welch is a bonus. We might be able to get in a grind rather than piggy backing the opposition down field early.

Fast start is huge tonight I agree, we fall 12+ behind I think the confidence is shot and the head drops will be curtains for us, we need to get the early running and NAS needs to be a big part of that, Roosters have been playing do or die footy for 6 weeks, this is our first week of it, let’s see the response.

Great play by Wishart. Would be feeling massive pressure and comes up with that.

Not a bad start, but I have no idea why the defensive intensity is there for the first 3 or 4 tackles and then non-existent on the last couple...

Jesus Christ. I would almost take Munster kicking goals over Meaney at this point. What has happened there???
