Replace Hoffman with Felise and this is our best line-up.
Who was the poster saying no Slater! That is ridiculous talk. Munster is a great player, but he has so much to learn at fullback. He is never in the right position when a try is scored.

Are you implying Kaufusi and Kenny aren’t in our best 17 when fit? 2 International back rowers who were integral to our premiership? Wow

The fact that you put the words “Hoffman” and “best 17” in the same sentence is concerning!

Hoffman passes the scapegoat baton over to Vunavalu. Suli, get it together man.

Both been terrible to start. Hoffman goes nowhere when he catches the ball (did have a nice offload earlier though). Now bailed out with another offside penalty from the Cowboys.

And just to be fair. Hoffman just had his best run of the season to then set up a try.

Besides the frustrating hiccups I am overly pleased with our forwards we are running with intent. I couldn’t give a toss if we lose but I’ll be damned if we lose without giving it our all. The boys are running hard and an example is Hoffman’s run just before Welch scored. That’s what creates chances!

It’s a strange game, we look disjointed for a moment and then look incredible the next, really up and down but overall pretty happy, agree the forwards have really taken it to the cows pack and I also like that while making some errors both wingers are injecting themselves, only concern is I think Munster and Croft have been really quiet and need to take a hold of this game and control it a bit better in the 2nd, let’s go lads!!

He might have scored 48 tries in 49 games, but based on his last game and a half Suli needs to spend some time in Q Cup.

Side looks much better than last week but still plenty of dumb decisions.

Looks like half the team have never played together before. Where did the team that played Leeds go?

Ooh, Hoffman caught out badly on Hess's second try and i think he was just as much to blame as Munster for the first.

In all my years I’ve never seen a storm play with this attitude. Are we the Warriors?

Suli just cocked it up in front of goal all I could do is laugh. A lot of head scratches tonight

What is J Brom doing? The dumbest penalty ever and almost did all he could to give another away. He's not really hitting the line with any gusto either. Get Nelson out there.
