Jordan is in for Jessie. Moors and Weston are on the bench. I thought Moors played on the weekend. If he did, then I was wrong and Storm are silly and did not plan for Jessie not be available.

Our best set of the night in the 39th minute! Very lucky to be taking a lead into half time, need to up the ante in the 2nd half or we will get run down.

Waqa playing like he doesn't want any contact... Saved a dreadful first half with that tap back for Chambers.

Smith missing that goal killed me. That likely will come back to haunt us... again.

Now I'm one eyed at the best of times, but those opening two penalties to the Panthers seemed very, very, very soft. Conversely, our guys practically had to be tackled three times before they even considered blowing a penalty.

Cronk penalised for a flop when he arrived at exactly the same time as another tackler? :lol:

Chambers has been huge. Doing the real tough yards out of our own end. Forwards, help him out!

Agree the refs were awful, but we have had our chances, Slater is abit off tonight and we are definately missing jesse's work and 2nd phase up the middle, looks like we are only interested in defence, cant see too many more points in this one.

Even brandy custard said that Storm shouldn`t have been penalised for that.
C`mon STORM...
If the opposition don`t get past their 40 you can be sure that they will get a penalty to help them down the cow paddock.
Is there a cattle yard behind the penrith cow paddock..All the mooing when Storm go near the ball.

Did no one see Smith completely take out Soward before the drop-out was awarded?

They were really unlucky not to get a penalty there.

Commentators on the ABC made mention of it, not hysterically though.
Good result, sounded like great defense late in second half.

Beat a team above us on the ladder on the road. Gotta be happy with that. Hope to do the same next weekend.

Yep, happy with that especially given it's the team who's spot we want to take. Lest hope we can knock over the Roosters and god forbid the scum do a number on the Panthers.

Did Moors get on the field tonight ? Didn't notice him at all. Wonder if that was purposely done considering he played over the weekend.

Another win over a top four side. We're now 2-0 against Manly and Penrith and 1-0 against Souths. Can't read much into our loss against the Chooks either as we were missing a number of key figures who'll, touchwood, be playing in the finals.
