Story of our season so far. A lot of players lacking confidence and making bad decisions.

Someone wake me up when the real Storm actually show up in 2018 - I am done with these imposters.

That kick from Munster was perfect and the pickup from Slater was superb too but the best bit was we had three players lining up to get it.

That's not lack of confidence. It's lack of thinking.

Well done Cammy and Bill.

How good are errors? Big fan of errors.

Cool to see something from one of our playmakers come off for once. Should've had another try earlier if Young didn't blow a simple put down.

I actually think our forwards have done a good job today, Smith has been immense, but some of our outside backs are not really putting in and haven’t been up to scratch, Scott and Croft the main problems, both offering next to nothing on both sides of the ball at the moment, I now they are just kids but maybe we have a bit too much youth in key positions at the moment, maybe guys like Olam and Jacks need to be looked at in the near future if the performances continue this way.

I thought Glasby was great starting at lock as well, and Suli has looked something like his old self, I think we can beat this tigers team easily with some smarter footy, hopefully Smith and Slater take control and close it out.

Diabolical from JAC, blew a lot of great work from him.

If those refs needed video to see that Billy was onside then they are hopeless, was well behind Munster!

Those two Croft passes look even worse on replay...Not sure having him throw inside passes is the go atm. Would like him to run the ball more.

We were about 30 seconds away from going 3 halfs of footy without scoring a try. That’s just not good enough

Kasiano slowly finding his groove in the team - promising stuff!

Bromwich brothers should have a no passing rule. Both have attempted a short ball to a forward runner, both have blown it

Croft has got to take the line on more. That last pass to Young was a nothing pass that ended up behind Young and stopped any forward momentum.

We need Smith at halfback. Croft just can't complete a pass and when he does it's behind the player.
