The backrow looks pretty sorted for now so it's going to be tough to see Howarth get a go in the 17. Good to see him around the squad though. Shows he's close finally.

Most teams (except Dogs) have a poor record against us especially in Melbourne.

Every team comes to play Melbourne with a lot to prove....they often come steeled to play their own personal GF against Storm.

But few succeed.
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time

I really hope to see our halves look up and kick through if no one is out the back.

Nick Meaney looks way off the pace tonight, is he injured?

The ref gave the Rabbitohs that first try, what was it a few penalties and 4 or 5 set restarts? What a joke.

Meaney keep losing his one on one battles.

Would be cool if Harry stopped trying to win penalties every second run.

Flicked the switch now, how good is to see Munster back in fine touch and watching NAS skittling defenders? Oh boy we might be back

Damn, Coates scores a hat trick in the first half and limps off with a Hamstring injury.

Cracking first half, 32-4.

Souths aren’t much chop but you can only beat who’s infront of you.

Paps has been electric, Warbrick made some nice plays on both sides of the ball. Munster and X were unbelievable on that edge, Harry has been great out of dummy half and I thought NAS really changed the momentum when he came on.

More of the same please, feels like a long time since we’ve put a team away like this, don’t let up boys.

Only four offloads apparently? All led to us creating yardage up the field and us scoring points.
