62 points to 0 in 1 1/2 games. Massive turnaround. NAS what a step.

Suli will be winger rest of year. No doubt.

I was amazed to hear the comment, that Suli is as fast as James Roberts in open field. Love to see him open up but I have to say - it's a bit of a stretch to match the Jet.

Very good first half from Dale, Harris, Kaufusi and NAS especially.
Forward pack is good.

Even carving Titans defence up with one less player on field.

Would have been nice to go for the try there rather than the two points. Be ruthless.

Cameron Munster, take a bow...

Breaking tackles at will. And how about that don't argue on Zillman!?? BRUTAL.

Just really impressed by these unknown outside backs coming in and doing their job when we've needed it.

Smith controlled the entire game. But our forwards laid down the platform after a so so first 5 minutes.

Well done boys! 80-0 over 160 minutes of footy. Another well rounded team performance, with a number of players playing extremely well.

Not to harp on, but Tohu was outstanding once again. About 5 times, Nene McDonald got the ball in space and skipped to the outside. Not once did he beat Tohu, with Tohu pushing hard from the inside every time.

Munster was amazing. Finucane was tougher than a $2 steak.

Harris was great. Could Finucane get picked for NSW?

When was the last time Smith had a game with over 100m running? Much improved effort from him and dangerous with ball in hand when he has a dominant ruck to work with.

What about Suli? 3 doubles in as many matches. Also very solid under high ball in defence.

Very true. Still can't believe he missed that sitter though (Cronk grubber) haha. His efforts under the high ball were the most impressive aspects IMO. He won all contested high balls and there were a few. He has been brilliant in every game.

Suli could have had 9 tries, the one he missed today, one where he just went into touch on Monday plus another that got disallowed on Monday for obstruction I think.

Well that's the Storm we know and love. Amazing professionalism today. At all costs we must sign NAS for as long as we can.

I hope that at $1.77 the win, you would have jumped on those odds. What a gift return on investment today. A monty bet if ever you've seen one.
Cher-ching.

Cheyse Blair is never gong to be a rep player...but he gives you what he he promises...solid no fuss reliability.

Been injured..lima lima lima duck all footy behind him but he was solid first game up..
