Really don't see why he cops as much shit as he does (not just on this forum). In all his games for us he has been solid. I think he plays well when he doesn't have to consistently be the dominant half. I would be more than happy with a Cronk/Roberts halves combination.

Hampton on the other hand should stay as far away from the halves as possible. Stifled our attack every time he got his hands on the ball while we were on attack.

Both their trys were unlucky but geez we should already have this game in the bag

Only thing negative about Roberts game tonight was his goal kicking. Fantastic overall game from him though. Stepped up in a game where we needed him to step up. Can't ask for anything more than that. Jesse, Kurt and Tohu all played big parts in getting us the win as well. Feels nice to see us win without the big 3.

Will take that win.

With close to $2.2m of talent off the park...there was loads of inexperience out there.

Titans inexperienced as well...but Storm can only beat the team that's out there against them.

Jesse Bromwich sensational again. 29 tackles 175 metres 4 offloads. Deserved man of the match.

+2! MVP for us this year for sure!

Can't help but mention Mann as well - he won't see reserves again if Bellamy has any sense at all!

Jesse, Roberts and Hinchy my best tonight, I thought Hinchcliffe actually had his best game at 9 ever, was tremendous.

On top of that, how about Jesse's Try Assists, Line Breaks and Line Break Assists!?

DOMINANT! He played prop, did that job and then stepped in to fill the hole at 5/8 as well.

Insomniac I agree Jesse should be leading our player of the year with daylight second.

Yourhero I said to my wife how about those passes from Jesse? A prop isn't meant to be able to do that.

Yeah Hinchy was very good. Also thought Moors hit hard in defence. All in all a good performance from the team

Very sweet to have that winning feeling back. Bromwich, Harris and Roberts were sensational.

Had my heart in my mouth as the medi-cab came out for Will but he appears to be all sweet now.

Thoughts on the line up for the Parramatta game? I'd go with:

1. Slater
2. Waqa
3. Chambers
4. Fonua
5. Mann
6. Roberts
7. Smith (c)
8. Bromwich
9. Hinchcliffe
10. Norrie
11. Proctor
12. Hoffman
13. Harris

14. K.Bromwich
15. Glasby
16. Moors
17. McLean

I think Young needs afew weeks in NSW cup for confidence, he has been shaky the last few weeks.
