I think I speak for many of us when I say we don't mind losing. What SHITS us is when we play bad it's not just bad like Wests Tigers or Titans, we play like a dumpster full of dog shit set on fire, it doesn't just go wrong it goes monumentally bad, injuries, sin bins, out enthused, skills you name it.

With elite coaching and still half a dozen representative players, we look like the Thunderbolts

I do think teams also aim up when they play with us which doesn't help..but far out, when things go bad the heads go down and stay down.

Does anyone have even the slightest idea why Brandon was binned? Nien seem to be ignoring that it even happened

Facebook indicates he was spat on as he left the field.

Social media are saying he said something very rude and unkind to the ref, who heard it.

He said something offensive to the ref.
The fact he didn't argue the sin bin makes me think it was probably warranted.

I saw that, he stopped near the bottom of the tunnel and was filthy about something. Still no idea why he was sent though

I’m too young to remember much of the early 2000s but this is far and away the worst patch of form I’ve ever seen from the Storm. It’s so mediocre.

Bad news is we can’t drop guys because the depth is already pretty shot. We haven’t looked like scoring tonight and have had a rough time defensively again. 2022 might be a write off.

Why is Jesse playing link man? That's the fourth or fifth time. Meanwhile he has barely carried the ball forward.

And more injuries... Anderson, Seve and Kenny.

Plus Pappy looks proppy.

Check Jesse's run meters for the half dozen games and he has had hardly any runs. He is just playing out his time, doing nothing

Depth issues or not, there are a couple who need to go.

One who can stay in Sydney and one who can take the bus north.
