Round 7 vs Sydney Roosters

[Bullucked]

Amazes me that Klein is/was viewed as the number one ref. Genuinely feels like he makes shit up.

Doesn't he have two assistants, one either side of the field???

Also how good has Shawn Blore been? Really really impressing me, another week with over 100m, 30 tackles no misses no errors. CB will be loving him.

Wowee clearly the memo this week at the refs powwow meeting was watch the third man at the legs.

Solid team win. Getting over these close games though, Jesus…

73% Completion Rate and 12 Errors could have been better
6 Linebreaks to 1 though
Only 28 Missed Tackles

Play the ball speed 3.5sec vs 3.1sec the Roosters were given.

Just Storm player votes.

3. Coates
2. Hughes
1. Katoa

Meaney was better this week, although he wasn’t put under anywhere near the same pressure. Reimis is always solid in defence.

I'm going to start naming my grey hairs after our players, these close finishes are aging me

Radleys No Try, would it have been knocked back for the obstruction on Katoea?
Also, anyone else think there was another forward in that play?

[Bullucked]

, overcame 15 players

I'll re-word this, Wishart didn't get on, let's say we were 16 versus 19. (Given that Touchies are just paid spectators)

[yourhero]

Chan has something. He can find space and lay on some solid hits. Needs to retain a place.

[Mattpoet]

I guess he's got until Tui comes back to win that bench spot

[Storm Spirit]

Chan has something. He can find space and lay on some solid hits. Needs to retain a place.

His poor discipline was probably due to the speed of the game after being out of FG for several weeks with the hand injury.....so if he cleans up the discipline and his ball security.....I agree there's plenty there to get excited about,

Paps only went 5-6m a run tonight. Such a key component for us with and without the ball but we’ve gotta figure out a way for him to do more with less and get him some open space. He’s simply not a threat on kick returns atm and the dummy half runs for 2m don’t really do anything.

Anyone else watching the postgame show on 9? Pretty sure Welchy is half cut already, sounds like he is a dozen beers deep haha!
