Stale, error riddled, unwatchable the Storm. In back to back games.

Sorry, just back to say Loiero is an absolute dud - seriously, how is he getting a game over Pene?!? I'd play Lewis over him FFS. /rant

Absolutely dreadful.

Never seen such indiscipline in all facets of the game. And still could have won.

Awful. Hurt more than the Dogs game this one…

On the flip. Pezet showed some class and clearly has the balls for NRL level.

Hard to watch. Especially when the Storm just gifted several tries to Gold Coast. It’s hard enough to score tries ourselves without inviting them over the stripe.

We should have kept Brandon Smith instead

Didn't deserve to win that game. Grant & Hughes carried us that game. Looked tired & gave up way too many bloody penalties & dropped balls.
It's only early days but to lose two in a row to the Dogs & bloody Titans is pathetic. Would not be the least bit surprised if we bloody lose to the Tigers next week smh.

Pezet and Munny would be a better combination, Hughes would be better as a 14 come on when the opposition are tired

Pretty horrific showing.

Just guilty of so many horrible mistakes.

The two which really took the cake were the Hughes turnover which led to the Schoupp try and the Katoa off-load which Vuna scooped up and scored.

Just bad game awareness and a lack of attention to detail. Annoyingly - the talent is all there. That’s obvious based off the 34 points they scored.

There seems to be no one at the moment who can calm the team down through the crisis moments. C Smith was the master of that.

Really disappointing. That loss wasn't about skill, it was about effort and concentration.

There are several players who need a serious attitude adjustment.

I thought the effort was there, we just played stupidly. Errors, penalties, 6 agains, way too many. Don't even think neutrals would have enjoyed that game, was amateur hour basically the whole way through.

We found one in Pezet though. He doesn't play Q Cup again IMO.

Loeiro on the other hand, does. Don't really care who replaces him. Just a terrible, terrible game by him, there must be consequences.

Round three and Bellamy is publicly wondering about the team’s care factor. So things are going well.

I maintain the talent just isn’t good enough but like holding onto the ball and not giving away lazy penalties isn’t a talent issue. The were up 24-12 right before half time and were going for the kill until a dropped ball. Then they stopped playing.

Happy for Pezet to have a positive debut. He may have just been our best performing player.

When Munster comes back, I'd play him at fullback:

1.Munster
2.Meaney
6.Pezet
Bartos
