60th min FORCED LINE DROP OUT on the Storm, Williams kick. John Bateman really missed an opportunity in the lead up to spread.

Rapana is going to get the Leilua/Edrick Lee treatment if he doesn't pull his finger out

Should never have been picked to play centre. Perfectly capable winger and Cotric a perfectly capable centre.

Yeah, we have run out of ideas with the ball, no backline moves, if wighton doesn't step and do something, or Papalli isn't crashing over, we need a fluke from broken play.
One day the Raiders and the Cats win the same year and make my head explode!!

Nobody came across from the middle to cover. CNK left totally isolated.

Our best attacking player is out, 2-3 forwards in our top 17 are out. Window is wide open next year if we're good enough and can find some strike out wide from somewhere.

There is lots of people here who bag Cotric, but can you seriously blame him for leaving! He basically sits out on the wing and no one passes him the ball. To many **** hero’s in the team

Gosh our outside backs are pure trash hey.

We're not getting any better than this with Croker, Valemei, Rapa and Scott lol. Utter mediocrity.

Very much looking forward to not having Rapana in the centres and having CHN in the starting pack.

Yep, very disappointing.

Just don’t want it like they did last week. Exhausted.

63rd min TRY STORM to Dale Finucane. Hughes kick is knocked back by Vunivalu. Valemei could not take the kick, he's been targeted successfully all night. Finucane gets the four pointer. That is the nail in the coffin. Converted.

Storm 30-6

And for the staunch CNK defenders out there, Jack Wighton makes that tackle at the back on Finucane every day.

Despite his performance last week, a defensive-only fullback does not cut the mustard in this comp. Most facets of his attacking play are simply horrendous, still.
