Once again, we finished the game very strongly. It is encouraging that we can play that crap for so long and still get away with such a dominant win (on the scoreboard at least)...

And Billy... well, there just aren't any words left to describe how brilliant he is.

Billy just defies description, unbelievable, when he's near the ball you just don't even dare to blink in case you miss some of the magic.

Duffie was great defensively under the high ball and I liked the metres we got at times out of the big boppers (Norrie, Vave and Ryles especially).

But, we need to hold the ball more!!!!!!!!!!

Great second half from the boys! Billy Slater is just super human, amazing performance. Him and Cronk are in career best form for sure. Thought that Duffie was strong once again, since I said he is coming close to being dropped he has come out with two top performances.

Cameron Smith's goal kicking needs some improvement too. Three from three though so I'm happy!

Average performance (again) if you ask me. Luckily Billy was able to finsih off some great plays by Cooper and Cam.

We really need to be alot better then what we've shown the first three rounds

I thought blair was quite average tonight, maybe because it was raining not sure but he was far from what he can produce.
Does anyone know how long Neilson is out for? I'd like too see chambers get a go next week..

Widdop & Hoffman passengers again.

Proctor, Norrie and Vave strong efforts.

We've been down the first 3 weeks but good teams still win when they're far from their best which is a great sign, A heap of improvement to come so there's plenty to look forward to. Give me an ugly win over losing pretty any day.

I have a mate in Seattle, USA, who lived here for a year last year and became a massive Storm fan. He's trying to get sponsored to move back here but until he does how can he access Storm games, whether live or otherwise, using net, US cable, Aussie bars in Seattle, etc? Or do I have to record every game and post them?

(I can't start a new thread from mobile, that's why I posted here)

Billy saved our arses tonight. His 2nd try was beyond belief (even from him). I yelled at Smithy "WTF was that?". And then all of a sudden Billy's all over it. Sheer brilliance from him, Cam and Bellyache.

watching billy's 2nd try live i thought, 'oh well, at least he put some pressure on', when i saw the replay and realised that he'd taken it one handed (and i'm pretty sure it's his opposite hand to boot) i was simply gobsmacked

Billy was terrific (his second try has to be one of his best), Cam and Coops kicking game was top shelf. Also an excellent performance in the wet from try scorers Duffie and Quinn (also how good was Quinny's pick up off the ground on the loose ball from Billy's pass?).

Widdop was slightly better than the previous two weeks but is still struggling and I have nothing else to say about Hoffman than he has come back to Melbourne as Elmer Fudd (seriously I couldn't believe he threw that pass which led to an intercept in our own half). The forwards (especially Manu, Norrie, Vave and Ryles) made some terrific metres.

Apart from all this, the boys need to work on their first half performance overall and not drop away before half time.
