First half made a number of errors, Windsor shot out to a 22 - 0 lead. Windsor had a lot of possession in the first half. In the first twenty minutes of the second half the Storm scored three tries to get back to 22 - 18. Windsor dropped a bomb on the try line and all the Storm had to do was pick up the ball and stroll 5 metres to score. Unfortunately Atelea Vea and Billy Rogers both went at the ball coming from different directions and knocked the ball on.

From that point we made a couple of errors, one whilst attacking the Windsor line, which resulted in a 60 metre break by Windsor, both errors ultimately resulted in a try to Windsor.

I thought Robbie Rochow and Jesse Bromwich played well. Sione Kite made a couple of barnstorming runs. Luke Kelly's kicking game was pretty good and I thought Jy Hitchcox showed a bit of potential. Good to see Mitchell Johnson given a go at NSW Cup level.

Exact replica of last week, were down 24-0 today, got it back to 24-16 then conceded 2 late tries to finish up well beaten, widdop also left the field in a bad way early on. Justin O'Neill and Vea were late inclusions so they definately wont be in FG tommorow. Jeez luke kelly is a talent, im leaning towards a

combo next year. Seve, koko and uaefete were the 3 try scorers.

We need to win this game and get some confidence back for the finals.

Is that rumour  true that they will be moving back to NSW due to cost savings?
That's so disappointing if true.

If so, where will they be based?
