Round 8 - Storm vs Sharks
Welch was very solid. Sharks were all over his offloads so not as electrifying as previous week's but a top performer even in the shit first half

An authoritative second half. Gee those six-again calls against us in the first half were very frustrating.
Christian Welch is playing SO well. He is a threat with every hit-up.
Tui off the bench was superb.
Jahrome is just getting better and better . Amazing to think that 2 clubs had him and let him go.
I know the fact they scored in last 30 seconds was frustrating, but we had scored 7 tries in 39 minutes , so I think we can cut the boys a bit of slack !
Has anyone got any news re Munster , who seemed uncomfortable down in that south east corner trying to stop their last try? It would be horrible if he has been injured, especially given he was only back there because Hynes was given a rest .

Fingers crossed. Bit worried about Harry Grant, not only a dislocated finger but mention of a sternum injury.RobbieRoss wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 10:30 pmOk thanks. I have now seen that. No mention of injury to Munster so hopefully he is ok.
Definitely no sternum injury. Commentator just made that assumption from how Harry was holding his dislocated finger in front of his body.Scooter wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 7:18 amFingers crossed.

I also suspect Harry may have been affected by a head knock as well...
I was actually pretty impressed with Ieremia. Thought he did all of the tough stuff well and was probably unlucky that the sharks defence fell off Reimis Smith so much, if they'd rushed in just once he would've gotten a try, was in position every time.

Hynes try should have been allowed according to Annesley

We are an appreciably better team without him. His last several years at Storm were littered with his selfish, inept play. I genuinely cheered when I heard he was off again. And I say this, acknowledging he was an absolute favourite of mine for many years. Now he will have to face the wrath of his own fans after having played poorly in his team’s belting, he jumps in the Storm’s post match team photo with a beaming smile. Not a good look.six rings wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 8:23 am
As for Chambers, as much as I love him, surely he will be out of breath by the second half, he has played 3/4 of a reserves game . Will, himself, said, he couldn't believe how much quicker the game was last week since he left and now he is going to go into a game which will be a much higher speed .
