Rd 3 vs Parramatta
It was not our night. The ball bounced for the Eels. The last shot at goal off the post for a try, for the last try in regulation almost a knock on and then knock back into NAS' head and Blake dropping last bomb but going backwards.
Unlucky for first two tries to be disallowed.
Won't see Hughes play that badly again. Missed tackle, silly penalty on last and kick out on full all led directly to Parramatta tries.
Amazing effort by Smith. Solid by Meaney must keep his spot. Alec MacDonald continues to impress me, particularly given his lack of experience.

When did we get so bad at defusing those kicks in the air near the try line? Smith slipped over so bad luck there but I'm not sure if he was in good position to stop the try either. Feel like we've been giving up tries off kicks more and more the last couple of seasons.

I also would rate Meaney over ieremia for attack but I'm still unsure of their defensive capabilities. That said I'd also say the same about Coates. After all these years, in my opinion, the right hand side defence is still an issue. I till think that Kafusi making bad defensive reads drags Centre and Wing to far in.

Can anyone (besides it being a Storm Player ) come up with a reason way after the hype around NAS hitting Makatoa, there was no media outrage about the return hit on NAS although it was enough to win a penalty?
