Heath Mason did have a good game last weekend against Jets... Geyer not so much IMO. Javon Andrews had a really good game that was at 6 however.
Sukkar is a bit unlucky.
Still a pretty strong bench considering. Not sure about Mason at fullback.
Dropping the kid and T’oa was necessary and with our injuries the team still looks well balanced.
Feel more confident with Turuva back in the wing and Herbert in the centers, that should fix the defensive issues on that side.
Not sure about dropping Sukkar, didn’t think he did anything wrong.
Looking forward to a Bunty debut for the club.
Agree we should be more secure on the rhs with Turuva, Herbert and KPP. This probably Heath Mason's biggest opportunity to prove himself as a valuable Top 30 player.
I hope Bunty gets a run. Also agree that Sukkar is unlucky to miss out so all the more reason for Bunty to unleash hell to make the selection a good one.
One word ACCOUNTABILITY it’s been a long time since this club has had a coach that has drawn the line with standards ! Well done coach on this weeks side it is what it is …
It’s unfortunate the club is in the twilight zone with the batch of younger guys coming through , there a year off to step into the NRL … as a supporter it’s frustrating knowing the talent is there and coming through just not this season .
I like it. Bash em.
Its about as good as we can get atm .. but I’m worried about the 1’s. Or shall I say fullback and second row Sione. Going to be a tough one to win against the cheetahs but I have to see improvement off last week apporant display.1. Heath Mason

Sione was awful last week - needs to make amends quickly. A bit nervous about our back three against kicks - glad Coates isn't playing, although Warbrick is just as good in the air.
If we turn up with the right attitude for 80 mins this week, then it's definitely winnable.
The script normally goes something like: Storm find form and beat us, commencing a ten game winning streak that gets them into the finals while we limp to 13th spot.
Maybe, just maybe, things are going to be different.

It will be different. Benji will have them ready.
The issue, @tigerstu, is whether being ready for the Tigers without Api, Bula, Doueihi etc etc, will be good enough. I'm only hoping, not expecting. A Tigers win would confirm that the Storm are in deep shite. An honourable Tigers loss would be bearable. A result like last week ..... I don't want to think about it.
@mercy-rule yeah the injuries are very hard not to acknowledge they'll have an impact. Although I am confident this team is different from past years and we will still be able to show better resilience and attitude this week. If we can win the forward battle I've confidence we've got enough talent to score points and be the better defensive team we've been all year before last week.
Yes, more hopeful than confident. But confident it won't be like last year or last week.
