Round 5 - Cowboys vs Storm
I thought the refs and touchies were shocking tonight and I hate having a go at them.
Best wishes to Nene hope he comes out of it ok.
I didn’t catch the first half but from all reports it was one of those every now and again slopfests we get into.

Earl looked out of his depth. Fair play on making it back but just don’t look up to the pace of the game.
Hughes and Addo Carr outstanding. Munster did ok considering they were clearly out to wind him up.
McGuire deserves a long spell on the sidelines..

Croft still has barely any responsibility with the ball. I'm not sure how long we can go with just having the two Cameron's essentially do everything for us in attack. Defensively he looks better but I don't really think the Cowboys threw a lot at him.
Earl looked out of his depth. He had one really good run early on but didn't bend the line much after that. Wanted nothing to do with those high balls.

Can anybody tell me why players continue to let the ball bounce rather than attempt the catch, what do the coaches preach I wonder? Once the nerves are shot I get Sandor not going for them, but others, and all teams? I think the whole weekend thus far has produced some pretty abysmal footy.

Have to say - I’m pretty stoked for the guys to be 5-0.
Five-day turnaround and only two games at home so far. The next few weeks against the Roosters, Sharks and Warriors will be interesting.
Has anyone looked at the stats so far?
Storm are top of the NRL in post contact metres, second in all run metres, third in tries and third in scoring with the least amount of points conceded. Not bad at all.

3 errors in the first half for Sandor ...yes it wasn’t good but ffs he has had 5 years off....I’ve seen worse debuts ...he already said he was nervous leading into the game was embarrassed about his first half ..I’m not sure what people wanted or expected but I’m happy for him and would 100% give him a second chance

I thought Croft had a great game. Took a few runs out of dummy half to test the line, was mostly solid in defence and took kicking opportunities when he had them. The short kick (I think it was on the 3rd/4th tackle) behind the line that caught Ben Hampton out of position was a fantastic heads-up play.
