This is absolutely pathetic. No line speed in defence - Manly have all the time in the world to do what they want. Our kicking game is atrocious, again. Only Brandon has had any intensity in his runs - no one else looks like they want to be playing at all. We look so lethargic and uninterested.
Oh, and of course the ref only sees us holding down - Manly (mostly Trbojevic, following on from his unpenalised SOO performance) certainly aren't working in the tackle or throwing a leg in/crowding...

Utter tripe performance
Can’t explain it. The attack in the 1st half off all the ball coughed up by Manly was awful…
Doesn’t get easier - Cronulla next week with no origin players

I hate to call it but this team’s completely lost its identity.
Even at their worst a few years ago the Storm wouldn’t be leaking tries like this and would fall back on defence and grit to grab a game back.
Everything now is about the cute plays - the attempt at an offload close to the try line, the risky chip kick. None of the fundamentals of running hard, chasing kicks well and showing discipline in defence are there.
None of these guys are showing any passion or desire. This is immensely disappointing and been evident ever since those two losses against Penrith and North Queensland earlier this year.
Very angry.

Very strange to let Paps take two kicks he missed. Meaney takes them it’s 36-34 when Paps score that last try.
Kick for GP!
Sums up the night.
Dross.
At least some effort to the the end
