I think the Storm might have them in terms of the benches. The Dragons have named a utility back and a rookie hooker on theirs - Storm have four forwards.

Flat start from us - need to get the enthusiasm back and make the most of our opportunity with the ball. Olam good until getting caught out in defence.

NAS playing an Ennis/Gallen role which I am hoping gets out of his game.

I hope Bellamy rips the suitcase out of the refs. Wtf was with that penalty when a try should have been awarded. Kasiano got his foot to the ball FFS!

That was embarrassing for the game. I don’t really think referees are corrupt (more incompetent) but f*ck me they are making me question that stance after that effort.

Score a brilliant try, call it back to award a penalty for virtually nothing? Makes no sense whatsoever...

“Play the ball is unacceptable”

Huh? How? He played it fine.

The entire refereeing team should be sacked for that disgrace of a call.

Rah rah’s Advantage rule would have been perfect in that instance

Out of all that we got nothing. Refs have ruined the game already.

They would normally have played advantage. If JAC doesn't score then give the penalty.

habits I thought had been ditched are slowly creeping back. Let’s not undo all the good work from the warriors. We are coached to the highest degree and skill level, it all comes down to the players mentally committing and switching on. If we aren’t next to score then it’s lights out. Heads down and remember your job!

So a bloke gets intentionally hit in the nuts, they score off it, and the game goes on like nothing happened? Not even really spoken about?

Am I in some weird alternate reality?

This game has been a joke.

That was seriously lazy.
