Now we look like the Tigers
Pompey a turnstile right now on defence

I've fucking seen this movie before
Hughes is killing us. And our defence is shithouse
-
We're back!
-
Our discipline is so fucking bad.
Melbourne are very professional.
-
Can we get a contest on a fucking kick? Just once???

@Donsteppa how can someone on the wing be so utterly useless when the sideline does half the job?
-
That was so bad, I wouldn't have blinked if he got sent.
-
We're more in-game schitzo than manly

I support Melbourne but growing up around the Auckland league scene many years ago always have a soft spot for the warriors, my second team .
I actually expected the warriors to win this one at home , just thought they might bring a level of energy and enthusiasm that the storm cant match on the night.
And was looking that way early, storm are just so consistent, it’s like week after week they are 8 out of 10 . They are beatable but you are going to have to play well for 80 to do it .

I expected the Warriors to win too, because this year we seem to win the ones we're expected to lose this year, and 20 minutes in I was feeling pretty cocky with my prediction.
But the Storm had Hughes and we didn't.
The refs/TMO are copping it on the league forums (and here a bit) but they weren't the reason for the loss, not even close.
Also, why was Tohu even playing? He's clearly broken, he couldn't even take a hit up, and spent the who match taking the ball and passing it awkwardly. Why was SJ playing? He didn't seem fit either or is it just a case of they can't get the team going with two halves operating as halves? We've gone from TMM doing nothing when SJ is around to him doing too much with a bunch of times the ball going to him when it should go to SJ.
I hope we at least tried to keep Katoa. Every Storm match I've watched he's been class.
This feels like a bit of an old school Warriors rant. I must admit it is somewhat comforting.

@Nepia I was out and didn't get to see the game. But it seems to me if SJ and Tohu weren't good, why did Webster put them back in when the squad had been playing so well already? Wait until they are properly ready to return
Not sure, maybe he thinks he needs to integrate them back in while the team is (was) going well? Maybe SJ was just playing within himself so as to not rock the winning formula, but Tohu definitely looked completely broken.
