Munster and Olam have stopped making good defensive decisions. Both as bad as each other

2 clear knock-ons by the Dolphins and of course the ref has his head so far up their arse and fails to call them!!!!!

Hughes to Katoa to Smith might be my favourite try of the season. A beauty of a set play.

Felise obviously angry Storm didn't offer more than the Dolphins to keep him. Angry angry man.

Reminding those boys where tf they came from. đź’Ş

Love that we're playing physical too. The boys have been putting some bloody good hits on 'em.

Looking forward to the day that Coates actually starts catching some of the bombs he leaps so high for... he would have to have the worst hands for someone as talented as him under the high ball.

Good to see we didn't get pulled into the thuggery of Wayne's/the Dolphins' original game plan, although Katoa is sure to be in some trouble for his hip-drop tackle.

Hope the MRC take in Kaufusi looking like a psycho before the game and give him a proper suspension. Dude should’ve been sent off.

Great to be at the game.

Very good 1st half. Ragged 2nd…

Some bad choices - - should be taking 2 on offer when the game is getting tasty

WTF was Coates doing trying to steal Loiero's try?!? Idiot.

Appalling defence on that second Dolphins try. The last 10 minutes has been atrocious.

We aren’t going to make much noise the way we play inside the 20s. We struggle to score and we continue to give up some of the softest tries you’ll see.

Rubbish second half - the look on Bellamy's face sums up my feelings on that one. Doesn't help that NAS was mostly a passenger in this game, and Coates has now added another way to bomb a try to his resume.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this.

Solid first half, diabolical second half. We need to seriously have a conversation about Trent Olam and Coates on that edge … I know we won but seriously, if Bellamy named Eisenhuth, Seve and Fa’alogo/Jennings vs the Cowboys after the bye let’s just say I wouldn’t be upset.
