There’s no reason for him not to be getting selected unless there’s a injury we don’t know about
Maybe because Bellamy has seen Anderson play?

Brandy's just hoping to get him banned for Origin 2. It's Voss who is the real disgrace.

Seve's best ever game for us. Ieremia and Olam running hard on the edges was damaging too. Those three were the difference in my opinion. Anderson had a nice debut and I'd be happy to see more of him too.

Nice to get through a game without the right edge leaking 2-3 tries. Our defending of opponents kicking game was rubbish again and almost gave us the loss though.

Nelson only played 22 minutes. Hope he’s alright.

I'd expect all our Melbourne members to turn up next week, no excuses. If you don't, then you may as well hand in your 2022 membership as it's going to be an absolute rip snorter of a match Storm Vs Broncos!!

Seve and Ieremire only bombed a try each but yes a positive night for them.

Spot on. The way the team has bounced back after a couple of bad losses, and with a lot of inexperience amongst the outside backs , has been impressive. Hopefully Paps back next week .

I echo the question about NAS - anyone know if there is an issue?

Nelson had 5 Runs for 53 Metres. Allegedly. I didn’t think I saw more than 3. Very quiet. I hope it was just Craig easing him back in.

Nothing mentioned in press conference re: NAS. Craig said that Olam has been playing "a bit busted".

He is hopeful that Papenhuyzen will be back v Broncos but said given we have a week off after that game that if he wasn't right we wouldn't risk him.

Said Grant Anderson was effectively the last man standing and that it was a great story with all his family coming down and his dad being reduced to tears.

Cooper Cronk on Foxtel just said nothing in it , and Benji Marshall agreed.

Thought that was a good win in the end. Was a strange game - we seemed quite sluggish for a lot of it. Thiught Kaufusi was excellent, especially since he's backing up from origin. Think he had the most tackles for us.

Hopefully NAS was just getting eased back in after time off rather than a new injury.

We shouldnt risk paps next game unless he is 100% fit as we have s break sfter that.

Still no punch in the middle forwards for me. I think we need Tepai back so we have someone apart from Nas who will hit the line hard.

On another note, what is happening with our jerseys? Still no home ot away jerseys on sale on the website and we are halfway through the season. Im convinced our jersey tonight is made by isc. Hopefully the club are contractually protected with no on field merchsndise to sell to fans.
