I reckon at least 20 times we've had a bloke left on the ground behind the play the ball. It just doesn't work.

No wonder the back three can run so much, they're NEVER under pressure when they catch the ball.

Cannot blame Howarth, Blore needed to keep moving up and we were out numbered in that last try.
Also, it's all ahead of us now. When we're in front at half time we go on to win, 28 times in a row.

Fair bit of lip from the Panthers that half when they got a chance

We recovered after a bad spell in the middle where they won territory battle. . Thought we might get to 6-4 at break. Need a good start to 2nd half

Our defensive line is too passive. Need to move up and put some pressure on them.

Allowing them too much time and space. Can't afford to do that.

The boys are going to need to find something because that entire half felt like Penrith setting us up. Not sure how many times they did it but felt like every other hitup was them turning the ball back inside and working us over.

As much as it seems to be accepted by the coach, too many Storm players left behind the play the ball. It's something we've done all year, it can only add more weight and workload to the rest of the defenders.

I feel like they scored after a phantom six again call....I don't think a Storm player touched it, though I could be wrong about that. I'd also like to see the kick-off that went out on the full again - when watching the replay it almost seemed like the foot went down after the ball was caught.

Tough, hard and fast game so far - there's nothing in it really.....just need to find a way to poke some more holes in their defence.

Seemed fair to me, should not have kicked it that close to the line

I also wondered about this

There was a pass from the Panthers about 10-15 minute mark that was about 5 metres forward without comment.

Long story short, we're being out played and out enthused.

No definitely not....it was a bad mistake - but if it actually was caught before the foot went out, that's an even worse mistake. That said, I could have just been imagining things :)
