I think the biggest issue at the moment is the side relies very heavily on individual brilliance instead of building plays through creative passing and kicking. The forward pack is decent and tough but they’re hardly intimidating. Not sure how to look at it but Souths are in really good form curren...

The fines sound about right. Tui paying the stupidity tax. Tuaimalo Vaega was hit with a Grade 2 Shoulder Charge on Cameron Munster and will miss two games with an early guilty plea or three games if he fights the charge and is unsuccessful at the judiciary. No mention of the cannonball on Munster ...

Frustrating.

Also - with all that’s been made of hip drop penalties this week how on earth was that awful tackle on Munster not penalised? Dreadful.

We missed a lot in the first 20 mins when both teams were doing 70m a set. After that we tightened up a lot. Importantly in our own 20 in the 2nd half when it really mattered. Stats are only ever part of the story… I think there were about 23 missed in the first 20-30 minutes. Also, I think a heap ...

Really need to take advantage of the fact Souths are down Arrow, Tatola and Mitchell for this one. Conditions here are also good for going a bit more expansive if the guys can keep their discipline with their handling. It’d be good to get a win in the bank here ahead of a clash with the Roosters who...

I think he might too.

Bellamy’s a big fan and I’m not sure when Papenhuyzen comes back that they’ll want him to have the added pressure of goal-kicking.

Feels like the guys were a bit down on confidence going into that one and the message was to hold onto possession and tackle well. I think that got through - particularly in the second-half when the lead was fairly comfortable. Loiero’s had his critics but he was good last night. If he can just remo...

Well, after last night, I don't feel so bad about our start to the season. Penrith, the deadset locks for a threepeat (if you listen to the media) now share the same w-l ratio as Melbourne. Does it excuse some very ordinary defensive efforts by the storm? No. But it does show that teams are definit...

Giving Hughes a grade 2 is a nasty decision. It wasn't late and you can argue shoulder charge because he didn't wrap his arms but it was more of a body collision. We should fight it imo. So if Hughes is out for a week (and I really don't think he'll get less) makes me think Munster will be back nex...

Pretty horrific showing. Just guilty of so many horrible mistakes. The two which really took the cake were the Hughes turnover which led to the Schoupp try and the Katoa off-load which Vuna scooped up and scored. Just bad game awareness and a lack of attention to detail. Annoyingly - the talent is a...

How good is the Pezet and Hughes combination? They're causing so many problems.

His defence is terrible. He just can't read what's in front of him.

This is absolutely terrible.
