I don’t see losing tonight as a massive negative unless our guys get absolutely belted by 50 and or the Storm suffer a heap of serious injuries.

If anything, it gives us an idea of what Penrith are capable of and what they do effectively against our team.

Any result which sees the guys push them close or even beat them could work out in the Storm’s favour further down the track.

Tui onto bench.
Johns halfback.
Wishart fullback.
Nikorima 18th man.

Watch this be wrong. Think Wishart at fullback is such an odd call from Bellamy so going to assume it’s not going to happen. It’s far too risky to play a guy who has never played that position in such awful conditions and against a kicker like Cleary.

I reckon he'll play there in attack and defend in the halves switched with Munster

I wonder if the state of the playing field was a contributing factor to Hughes pulling out. looks like a heard of buffalo have been running riot out there.

Bellamy can wear responsibility for the Kikau try. The Panthers have done it the last three games against us and have gotten a result each time.

What a dogsh*t start.

Why do we spend 5 minutes having scones and some tea when we get a penalty. Get on with it!

This is not looking good for us at all. Getting completely dominated in the ruck.

What's with all the brain farts? Bellyache will be throwing chairs around at 1/2 time that's for sure.

I get the argument for the less shuffling of the team, the better… but FMD, a top of the table clash, in the wet, against one of the best kickers in the game - we needed a pro fullback.

Clear knock on from the kick-off.

Klein, “play on!”
