After Storm led 10-0 in Under 20s it is now 10 all after 35 minutes. Tries to Josh Kerr and Jesse Arthars. Arthars kicked one conversion. Arthars try came from a wonderful grubber from Drinkwater.

Storm's completion rate of 40% is killing us. Turpin started well at dummy half but has made three errors late in the half. Warriors just scored again and lead 16-10.

Can somebody teach these kids how to hold onto the ball? This is embarrassing.

These are some of the best commentators I've ever heard by the way - yes, they barrack for the Warriors, but it's not to the exclusion of reality. They have openly applauded the Thunderbolts players on the few occasions it's been called for and they have been prepared to say the ref has had things wrong even when the wrong call advantaged the Warriors. Sydney based commentators should have to listen to this and understand that you don't need to alienate half your audience to be parochial!

[ALX22]

Well done to Beau Fermor and Matt Egan. Anyone know if Croft or Elmore were injured or rested for the week?

For those that didn't catch it the Storm Under 20s team today was:
1 Jesse Arthars
2 Louis Geraghty
3 Cory Parker
4 Joel Gittins
5 Nat McGavin
6 Scott Drinkwater
18 Matt Egan
8 Josh Kerr
9 Jake Turpin
10 Ben Nakubuwai
11 Charlie Galo
12 Jacob Tonge
14 Ben Henderson
15 Lachlan Timm
16 Daymeric Pelo
17 Riley Leota
19 Beau Fermor

Warriors 30 defeated Storm 16 (Tries: Josh Kerr, Jesse Arthars, Nat McGavin Goals: Jesse Arthars 2)

Storm had a completion rate of just over 40% and missed 27 tackles. Plus Warriors ability to offload hurt us. Turpin started well from dummy half (ie first 20 mins) it went downhill from there. I thought Kerr and Nakubuwai showed a lot at prop but made a few errors. Drinkwater did a couple of nice things. Cory Parker showed some speed with a 65 metre break in last two or three minutes. So after leading 10-0, it was quite a disappointing rest of the match.
