    RTS looking like a lost soul on the field, while the new 18 year old fullback is the one looking sharp.

      Warriors have a defensive heart of jelly tonight. 20 - 4 after 27 minutes.

        You could add Maumalo and Nikorima together and you’d still be a long way from getting the consistent effort of one decent NRL defensive player.

              That penalty was rubbish. But our inability to slow down their ball is costing us big time. They are making metres at will. The speed of Hughes is killing us.

                I reckon it's silly not to play RTS at fullback. Let Walsh get used to 1st grade on the wing like RTS did.

                RTS is wasted on the wing. If he's not playing fullback at least bring him into 6.

                Also, Kayo is such a rubbish app, spent half the game dropping down to 720p. Never happens with Stan. Problem is I can't complain as I'm leeching off a mates account.

                  The Warriors left hand side defence was as intimidating as a wet bus ticket in the first half, but the half time TV pundits think RTS talking to them from the back will magically fix half-pie commitment.

                    Check out old.mates monstrous shoulder charge in the dog's v sharks game. This guy who is built like a fridge absolutely irons out this dogs player. It's an awesome hit that 5 years ago would have been in season highlights packages.

                    He was very lucky to only get 10 minutes in the bin. Chances are high he'll get a few weeks on top of that

                        Ha! I was just about to comment on Egan’s dummy half passing, but he set that try up well.

                          Fortunate to be only down 22 with a stat like that.

                            No team in the history of the NRL / Super League have been able to get away with extra wrestling and lying all over ball carriers at the tackle like the Storm. It’s so blatantly obvious too.

                              @nepia I think RTS is defending on the right wing and moves into the halves on attack.

                                Oh well another loss to the Storm. It could be worse, we could be the Tigers...

                                  The Crusaders of the NRL, just substitute lying over ball carriers at the tackle with, no wait, that can stay.

                                    @nepia Crusaders of the NRL sums it up nicely, they get away with murder these buggers. And of course at least one pathetic decision has to go against the Warriors. Tom Curran put in the bin and for what. It was a simple accidental head clash, nothing more, but no Curran gets put in the bin. Even the Aussie commentators were blowing up about that one.

                                        @canefan I am sure they will, getting 10 for an accidental head clash was a terirble decision.

                                        Mind you, always thought we were going to get beaten in this one, especially with Tohu as a late out due to concussion. Walsh had some nice touches but if the warriors are serious about going the top 8 this year, they will need to play RTS at 1. Perhaps Walsh can float on the bench as a third play maker. Given Paul Turner is out for the season it is a possibilty.
                                        It was nice to see Maumalo score a couple, that might just get the confidence going, hopefully he uses that correct some of his defensive lapses.

                                        @ACT-Crusader you did say it could be worse , we could be the Tigers. I suspect you havent seen the draw, we also come up against the one man team the Manly Sea-Turbos in two weeks again. If Tommy's hammys dont go for a tear on the corso again, I suspect he will be creating carnage against us soon.
