Hughes has been junk in this 2nd half. He's given away 2 tries but both will luckily come back our way.

Edit: "pathetic" is probably a little harsh given the conditions and reffing, but we're far from good, put it that way.
Reffing is a cop out. They call it as they see it.

We are falling a part and simultaneously hanging in there. This is the most frustrating game.

I stand by it that manly are too big and too fired up, we just cant match them when we give them 50m starts to their set.

Disagree, unless they only have eyes for the Storm infringements.

Poor first 10 minutes by Storm with an extra man.

Loiero unlucky to be charged / penalised for hip drop. He was the only player in the tackle and not your traditional hip drop., sort of pulled him down from behind.

Surely Coates knocked backwards. Alas we had wasted our challenge.

That's the knockout blow. With big bodies running that close you know they will get over. We did it with Nelson in years gone by, it's a winning combination.

Knocked backwards but Munster dragged it forward into his own body when collecting.
