Could Marika be playing? I doubt it but with Young playing NSW Cup and Chambers in doubt we may see Fonua at centre and MK on the wing.

he may well be there as a backup in case will doesn't get up. personally i hope chambers and j.brom both play the next 4 so that they play their 100th games together.

I don't know, hopefully they can't play it together because Chambers plays Origin instead.

Better signs after a horror first quarter.

Storm look good shifting the ball to the right and using Chambers on Beale.

Some really questionable calls though. Cam's really getting frustrated with some of the calls - particularly the penalty against Norrie for obstruction.

Pretty terrible call really.

Need to really dominate them up front and shift the ball to the right passage again.

If Sisa Waqa ever plays 1st grade for us again the coaching staff are kidding themselves, possibly the worst performance ever by a storm player tonight, he is disgraceful!!

His positional play has been deplorable.

I think waqa is not the player he was 2 years ago, he misses tackles doesn't really make much of an impact when running to the line, 1m away from the try line with widdop in front of him and couldn't even get over the line, to be honest my opinion I think he needs to be dropped to nsw cup his been in poor form this whole year, I think we would benefit a lot with MK on his wing, he runs a lot more harder makes more impact and his 3x faster.
FONUA is playing great making a lot of impact running straight and hard.

Worst Storm performance I can remember. Absolutely clueless in attack and defence.

No doubt tee usual apologists will be put in force defending the likes of Hampton, but he's only young... Absolute gutless performance from 1-17
