Gee whiz. I didn't expect Finch to miss out. Interesting...

Disappointed to be 8-all at half time should have been in front. It is amazing how one incident can turn the game. The game has been totally different since Billy tried to pass to Mahe about 10 metres out and threw it forward. Billy should have taken the tackle and I think we would have scored on the next tackle to go 12 or 14 nil up.

As I expected it has been the battle of defences. Although the Rhinos have exposed us out wide which is what the Bulldogs were meant to do in the GF. Burrow butchered a try and McGuire also made a bad mistake after a Rhinos break.

It is game on. Go the Storm.

8 - 8 at half time. Slater looking deadly in the opening 25 mins, Leeds coming back in the later part of the first half.

Leeds defensive line is lightning making it hard to make ground. Especially in the early part of the half.

Slater, Cronk, Bromwich and Harris have been strong, our left edge have been found out afew times, i think Mahe and Juz need to get more involved, hard to pick a winner as our lack of match fitness may become an issue late, been a great game so far.

Also Ryles has been a liability as usual, not sure why he was picked, he is past it.

Thought Storm did ok first half, faded in the last 10mins as to be expected, it looks like Leeds playing a similar game to Storm, that could backfire second half.

Bit sloppy in defense the last 15 minutes. Hopefully we can tighten up our edge D a bit. But this all change with a couple of iffy penalties given away by Ryles. A shoulder charge and high tackle ??????? pahlease.

Match fitness is also a concern. Would of loved to of seen Finchy out there wrecking havoc in the last 15 mins.

Leeds score off one of the most blatant forward passes you will ever see.
