And sometimes you’re just unlucky

Had our chance and didn't take it. Hopefully we can make it close.

Is Sezer, once, JUST ONCE, capable of rolling the **** ball into the in goal for a repeat set?

And that's the game... And maybe we should focus on ball handling for this week's training..

That's game

A bit unlucky in a sense but the halves just didn't create enough in their 20, or even build pressure

61st min Raiders bomb their chance and Kaufusi tears up field... Vunivalu almost gets away.

TRY STORM to Asofa-Solomona. No double movement, clearly. That was an awful two minutes for Canberra. Smith converts.

Storm 22-4

I’m pretty proud of the boys still. Still a thousand percent better than last season

We’ll win a lot more than we lose this season if we play with the attitude we have tonight. Just need to polish a few small things

Other teams would be more likely to scramble and stop that. Raiders don’t scramble.

We (supposedly) know the ball is going up for Wighton to knock it back. Yet no one from the inside is there to collect? That’s poor.

There was plenty of hands around
The ball just didn’t find them, and took a **** bounce right into the storms hands

Those are the little things Storm would eat up. We also had numbers on the right side earlier in the set and couldn't make anything of it

Is that unlucky? Or is that just **** dumb.

You’re all overlooking the obvious. Was the bounce unlucky? Yes. Was it the wrong play? Of course it was. Sezer should’ve rolled it and forced a repeat. You win games with sustained pressure. We try to score off every play.

Whitehead has been pretty flat today, I'm not sure him being in the line for attack is helping much, we have always looked better with the ball going to Croker.

And exactly why putting down all their success to the having the big 3 is the dumbest argument in the history of mankind.

They scrap for every single ball on every single **** play.

Can someone answer this question.. why was Wighton ever moved from centre? He isn’t the player he was early in his career.

Bateman is a really, really good rugby league player. Even better than I could’ve possibly wished for

He wasn't good at centre. It's a myth.

Not sure why this is even a question right now... LIke out of all the problems we showed today, Wighton not being left at centre is your target of convo?

I’m a big papilii fan but he has got to realize when to get down low when he has the ball in his own half for a quick play the ball against standing in tackles
