Not a bad first half.

Ordinary start and a soft try by them but we came back pretty well. Raiders are trying hard but I think we can run away with this in the second half.

I like the plan of trying to feed GI more ball. Tomane has been pretty solid outside Inglis aswell.

Manu has awesome impact everytime he comes on the field...just makes metres no matter what.

As for the u20's boys bounce back next week, we are still just 2 off the top i think?

...is there a better sight in rugby league then seeing Slater with confidence and everything just coming off right for him. love watching him play when he is on fire.

hoffy hitting his straps is almost as good, played great tonight, and topped it off with a try

the forwards all did great tonight, thats the key to them dominating each week.

hard to seperate the big boys but ill go with best forward hoffy closely followed by cross and the kiwi connection of blair and lima

That was scary, that was the best the Storm has played since mid-2008, and the confidence builder I was hoping would be another couple of weeks away.  :rolleye:

How good was that???

46-6......a few weeks the Storm had the 3rd worst FOR and AGAINST in the comp. After tonight's game, they have the 2nd BEST FOR and against!!!!

The Stormers are BACK and I'm loving it!

SO STORM!

oh yeah thats more like it.

Great performance tonight. In particular the second half.

Slater's best game this season. He's second try...just awesome.

Forwards were great. Matt Cross! i recall saying when we signed him that this was a underrated signing. He's a hard working backrower that was just looking for a chance. Now he's in the starting lineup and doesn't look like giving that up anytime soon.

Massive game vs the Dogs now....they won't be lacking motivation either

WOW! I don't really know what to say...

Matt Cross should definately start every game!!! He's been awesome these couple of weeks!
Everyone else did great too! Hoffy, Lima, Cronk, Slater, Inglis.... list goes on!

To quote Cooper Cronk: "I'm as happy as a pig in mud".

Seeing Storm playing like this, I couldn't help but think of the Storm of old.

It is so good to see the plays executed well, and the players working well together!

Anyone else think Tomane is warming to first grade.

Looking more confident, strong running (particular from dummy half) and making better decisions in defence. I know Quinn has done nothing to lose his spot but i think there has got to be room for Tomane to consistantly get games
