I can't believe we played the way we did today!!

Can a team take such a wrong game plan into such an important game?

At least Stephen Kearney had a good game for his last.

Cannot say the same for Howe.

Umm..where do I start?

Some sets we couldn't hit the ad line.

Whenever we tackled, and it usually took three of us, they were still able to make an extra 5 meters.

Too many knock ons.

Not tying up the ball in tackles

Chan should have started

Cronk came on way to late

Should I go on?

No not really .... It will only hurt your head.... and probably your fingers as you may be hitting the key board a bit hard.

It was technically correct. Once Geyer had placed a hand on El Masris back that was the tackle. To then place a hand on him again and push him towards the sideline was the penalty. The tackle had already been effected. However, the touchy should have been indicating that the tackle had been effected.

The ref wasn't great, but he didn't cost us the match. If we'd lost by one try I'd be livid, but it was US who last by more than three converted tries.

SCOTT HILL IS A LIABILITY!!!! Cronk should've started the second half. Scott Hill went missing completely from the game after half time, what the hell was he doing and where was he??? :evil: :evil: :evil:

I'm not sure I agree Kearney was complaining about lying in the taclkes all day and the ref couldn't be bothered to police it.

The system let us down today badly.

But in the end the Storm did not play well enough.

I am livid about that missed tackle that allowed that try but other than tha he wasn't that bad....... was he ????? The forwewards hardly laid a great (consistant) platform to excell in attack. :(

Hill tried a lot of stuff in the first half, some of the went nowhere and it was nearly comical how his pass hit his own knee.

On a good note, congrats to Steven Bell for topping the club try scoring list again with 18 or was it 19? Btw, Matt King needs to work on defense, he goes missing quite often too. Bell had a chance to put King through in the first half and all King needed to do was to be on his post. Instead he may well have been inside

Just not good enough, very disappointing display. I think the dogs were just to strong in all over play, their big men just ran over us. Gutted . A little glimmer of hope here and there but that sinking feeling wouldn't leave me during the game.

The problem is our good players, who are outstanding one week, are a liability the next.
