Same old crap, no one learns any lessons, same thing will happen in a few weeks and CB will scratch his head and wonder what the problem is

I mean what did you expect? For him to drop 2 of our starting forwards because we lost one game in golden point? That was just never going to happen.

After performance from NAS in Queensland Cup, surely he comes onto the bench.

It should be to replace Tui, but knowing Craig if he does pick NAS it will be im place of Joe.

Two of our last three games we've conceded 40 straight points after leading 16-2 and then blew a 14-0 start. The losses don't matter yet but how we're losing and playing should. I didn't expect changes because I know how stubborn Bellamy is.

I think the guys deserve another chance, they really weren't that bad.

Nas probably should come in for tui but I dont mind him being held back if bellamy is looking for him to Improve more in a certain area first.

However if Trent or uto have a shocker they should miss out next rd. players deserve a chance to redeem themselves. I'm expecting best games of season from both , and tui to be crap as per

I'll just finish it for you :)

We should win this by 50, the Tigers, sadly, just aint that good. Their victories have largely been lucky with the help of possibly dubious calls. Of course, if we go in to this game with a mindset of already having it won we will get done.

Given what May has been producing for 80 minutes and the fact he will want to rub Stefano's nose in the dirt, I expect a frustrating performance for us. Tigers paying $5.10 for the win. If you like money, get on this.

Gee you’re a negative one aren’t ya. I see you in every thread betting against the Storm, are you sure you’re even a fan? Have a bit of faith we aren’t playing that badly 🤦‍♂️

Been around the block enough time to know when the teams mentally rattled. Tigers, titans, dragons and similar middle of the road teams are capable of giving us a difficult time.

For trucks sake, Twal scored his first ever try against us! Teams do weird things against us.

Really hoping we see more composure this time around.

If there’s any positives to come out of last week we can note that they actually played to the conditions quite well and nearly won without Harry Grant. I think if Grant’s in there maybe this team jags a win.

The next fortnight before the bye is pretty crucial. Need to get a win here and then absolutely have to defeat the Sharks on the road.

Losing Grant has been a killer, 1/3 since he got hurt and on the ropes, I’m sure he will be fit and firing for Origin though where we will lose him for another 2 months, maybe by round 20 our captain will be part of the squad again!

I’m not bitter, he is just such a crucial cog for us and I wish he was back, but hammy’s are tricky, hopefully we see the best of him back end of the season.

It truly is amazing how Grant and Munsters injuries every year seem to clear up magically around origin time.
