Storm 22-14

great match to watch, gave me flashbacks to the GF.

some good sings were:

thers no way stewart is even remotley close to playing for australia, billy FTW hes had blinders each game.
i think greg had one of his best games for awhile
izzy is starting to find his feet again
turners found some confidence under the highball
quinn and chambers wing is looking alot more stable in defence
hoffman had a quiet one by his standards but madde up for it with his try that was just too easy
the fus played a good game and it was nice when the eastern/northern stand clapped him off
chambers has some serious pace on him

i wanted manly to be competitive tonight based on the fact that a mate of mine was celebrating his 21st and he flew all the way down from sydney to see a hopless display of defence from his eagles. he ended up leaving 20mins in to the 2nd half

Twas a fantastic performance by our boys IMHO.

Archer on the other hand did not have a good night.  Usually he's so fair and even handed, easily the best ref in the NRL, but there were a bunch of really puzzling calls and missed calls in both directions tonight (though mostly favouring us).  It's not like Manly was ever going to be in the game, but still, I'd rather the ref didn't hand out scoring opportunities left, right and centre.

Billy Slater...

I couldn't make the game, which really pissed me off as one of my mates was playing Toyota. I just got back from watching the game at the local watering hole, all that sticks in my mind was Slater breaking tackles every time he touched the ball. Also Greggie palming Stewart into the turf.
I think we would be a stronger outfit with Inglis at centre, Chambers at Geyer & Aitken at 5/8th.

Also, no more tequila ever.
