He’s an absolute weapon. Give him a year or two and he’ll be starting.

… and that should never happen again.

Frank Ponissi’s just gone on the record and stated it’s four to six weeks Papenhuyzen will be out.

Papenhuyzen has just posted on Instagram that he has a minor fracture above the plate in his ankle. Says he’ll “be back soon”.

Weird game. Way too many missed tackles from the Storm. Turning point was when Wishart and Munster butchered that try right on half-time. Can’t really afford to play Wishart in the back-three again. He really isn’t suited to those positions. Thought the Titans had some really bad calls against them ...

With the press conferences do the coaches choose which members of the press they have in the knowledge that they will ask "friendly" questions? I thought the media wanted sensationalism, their were a few more juicy questions that could've been asked, ie. "So James, what did you think...

No game this year is going to be a gimme based off these results.

But geez… You’d think with the Rabbitohs, Titans, Sharks and Eels in the next four weeks the guys could go 8-1 or at worst 6-3. Pretty outstanding considering the strength of opposition to open the season.

This season has aged me 30 years and it’s only round seven.

Also, Andrew Voss is a dribbler. Just noting what people probably already knew. Spouts utter nonsense.

Weird first-half. I think some of the passing has been a bit erratic. Katoa and Papenhuyzen have had a few moments which probably should have been finished off. That goal-line defence to finish the half was outstanding though. Going to need more from the pack once the Roosters starting forwards and ...

Anyone else think Welch might be back? I think he’s looked outstanding. He was really important tonight the second the forward rotation got messed up (remembering MacDonald went off for a HIA). He might not quite be at his pre-injury level in 2022 but I don’t think he’s far off. We’re seeing him sta...

Brisbane ..... and early kicks which caused a lot of trouble. I think that’s why the wingers got caught out a bit as it’s against what they typically face. Why oh why don't we do this, and, thank God more teams don't do it against us. Put yourself on the wing, and your inside man from there, do you...

Looking back on this - I think a lot of people are getting swept up in the outs for Brisbane. Have to remember: wins at this time of the year are so important for the big sides (like Brisbane and Penrith, Roosters, Cowboys) due to the rep period. That’s a huge win to have under the belt because like...

Also - adding to the weirdness of this game: the Storm only missed 19 tackles. Felt like they missed about 50.

Don’t even know what to make of that. It was such a strange game. We were punished for not shutting down plays when we should have. Letting the ball bounce, poor positioning, and the bounce of the ball rarely fell our way. You make your own luck most of the time however and you more often than not,...
