Reimis Smith, torn adductor. Olam keeps his spot for another week or three

This is a really good analogy

It's not just Olam though, it's everywhere, from the captain down.

And dare I say it, our systems. What has worked thus far is not necessarily going to keep working in to the future. Rules and game styles evolve, has ours?

What an embarrassing moment, when Welch needed to be reminded that he was captain.

That was a real load of horses***.

Utterly trash. Sims should never play for the Storm again.

Too many rushed passes. Bad defence. Really annoyed.

I'd rather go back to letting Grant Anderson have a free seat on the sideline than ever see Sims picked again, total loose cannon and he deserves to be rubbed out.

On a side note, and I acknowledge it wouldn't have changed the result, why wasn't that grub Fitzgibbon sin binned for interfering with an injurrd player? Pathetic and spineless from Sutton!

I'm going to sum up Craig's presser for everyone who can't be stuffed watching it "To be honest we got what we deserved tonight" The end.

The irony here is they both scored tries but continually expecting Olam and Loiero to do shit players like Bradman Best and David Fifita can do is a real detriment to the attack. As is using big Nelson as a crash dummy on the edge. We straight up panic and get predictable when they don’t work.

The backline badly lacks any penetration - ditto the forward pack.

It might be a weird thing to say but I think the team badly needs Katoa back to move NAS back to the middle or the bench. Forward rotation is a bit off.

Jeez what a frustrating watch.

A good start. Terrible once down to 12 but could have still won it when getting to back to 18-24 with 20 mins left.

But not good enough and for me it’s the sorry of 2023. No way can this team challenge Riff or probably the Broncos come finals time…

Olam I love the guy but he needs a spell…Sims atrocious. Struggling to think of a Positive prayer.
