NRL 2018

Storm are missing Jesse Bromwich,

Their form has been patchy by their standards , clearly missing Cronk from last season , tried young 20 year old Brodie Croft , he has been swapped for the more mature but less naturally talented Riley jacks .

Probably played their best football of the season in their last game against Brisbane so might be hitting some form .

20 minutes in and we're down 24 points. The last try came off a forward pass missed, as if the Storm needed any more help

30 zip 16 minutes left in the first half. We're stopping no one. I'll be switching over at half time if not before

Bugger, it must be retro performance round.

The Storm 5 goes 80 odd metres from first receiver to score. Send out the women and children

The refs are trying to nail the coffin shut with a wildly out of kilter penalty count

I was so very close to clambouring on that bandwagon and attending the game in Melbourne tonight. Thankfully the scars of the New Plymouth Canberra game are still strong and getting up for the dawn service has left me unmotivated.

My Storm fan mate is gutted I decided not to make it.

It's alright guys, I just tuned in for the 2nd 40 Warriors score. No idea what happened in the first half but the comeback is on!

Melbourne cheating their asses off to stop another, on a warning now.

Huh, so a deliberate knock forward in league is only a scrum.

The rules in league seem so laxed. He just slapped it a mile forward to stop a try.

Warriors in again. Need 28 points in 19 minutes.. comon lads!

But ... but ... but ... Alex Corvo! The Blues! This is our year ... !

Fitty?

Massive reality check tonight for the warriors. We are starting to look injury ridden with Luke, Harris, Johnson, Kata out among others. We played a bit better in the second 40 but failed to capitalise on the possession we had and put another couple of tries on them. Flush the dunny and move on, Kearney will need to work some magic to plug the holes and get them up for the Tigers

Tough, hard fought 12-10 loss to the Storm.

As I didn't watch the first half I'm comfortable completely disregarding it.

Sounds like they took a page out of the warriors book. Warriors been doing that all year and people have been praising their goal line defence.

Of all the games to miss this season I picked a good one....

....best we forget.

It's what the best teams do. Warriors would do well to go back to what works.

Kearney was a student of Bellamys , some of the warriors defense this year has been very Storm like , apart from last night of course .
