Getting pushed out, unacceptable. (Nicho can be excused)

How was it ok for Johns to be thrown out of marker in the lead up to the raiders second try?

What a good recovery after a sluggish start. Raiders have nothing.

Why is Hynes ok with giving away a repeat set? Slater would’ve attacked that and got us on the front foot (or made a terrible error).

Fantastic effort tonight. Very workman-like. No frills. 34 unanswered points is a credit to probably the rawest Storm side we’ve seen in many a year.

Outstanding effort, particularly after the poor start. Speaks volumes about the character of the team.

Hynes was brilliant once again. NAS and Brandon turned the game around when we needed it.

Tui was huge with his work rate.

Lewis was surprisingly good at 6. Nothing glamorous, but didn’t put a foot wrong.

With all those players out, away from home, against a top 8 side (well, they were) you take that scoreline every day of the week. Incredible.

In press conference, Craig said that Papenhuyzen would miss Broncos game and may miss 3 or 4 weeks in total.

Bellamy hopeful that Hughes and Kenny will be back v Broncos. Jacks to return.

Munster likely to miss again.

Towards the end we got a repeat set and he kicked it dead on the zero. Lucky simonsson didn't let it bounce over the line but FMD just take the tackle

Hynes was everywhere again in attack. I don't think he's fast fast but it's amazing how many times he's able to burst through a defensive line. Plays under control and with patience. He annoys me with his lack of urgency on the other side but he can be forgiven.

Raiders had nothing for us once we straightened the attack. We can leak a try but the defensive intensity when they opposition is coming out of their end is second to none. We just build up pressure every time we're forcing them to kick from between the 30 and 40 metre line.

I just love seeing NAS and Tui kicking ass and taking names.

Also LOVED Reimis' stank face when he scored in the corner, like "that all you got?"

If they can keep their streak running and pile the points on against the Raiders they will be the first team in Premiership history to win eight straight games by a 13 points or larger margin. They currently sit equal with the 1998 Roosters and the 1996 Broncos.
Done!
