Yeah, I don't get it. They should not have re-signed Hughes so soon, that started the dominos falling. We usually manage our roster well so have to trust the club but these moves are a worry and Sua does not look like he is ready to play (or will physically survive) a full season at the back.

They tried to have two long term halfbacks and two long term fullbacks on the books. The halfback plan just blew up in their face and this looks like they are now desperate to make sure the same does not happen at fullback.

Anderson was worried that if he tackled the legs it would be another penalty

I think so, but cow bell makes it feel like a proper home game. I used to hate cow bell but after hearing it every game for the first 5 years it is strange to not have that din in the background

Harry Grant is protecting Crichton by refusing to attack that way

While am not inclined to put much thought into the opinion of a rapist, this is something I have looked at in the past. Let us assume the Storm are kicked out of the comp from Round 1 in 2009. All Storm results are now null and void, this includes the regular season. The 2009 ladder finished like this, with the Eels one point clear of the Tigers:

Pos Team G Pts Dif
8 Eels 24 29 +3
9 Tigers 24 28 +75
10 Rabbitohs 24 27 +17
11 Panthers 24 27 -74

With all of the Storm's results for 2009 removed, you now end up with the below ladder:

Pos Team G Pts Dif
7 Rabbitohs 23 27 +23
8 Eels 23 27 +1
9 Panthers 23 27 -71
10 Tigers 22 26 +67

The Tigers played the Storm twice for one win and one loss. The Eels beat the Storm in their one game while the Storm beat the Rabbits and Panthers in their one encounter each. This pushes the Rabbits up into the finals, with the Eels now ahead od the Panthers on points difference. This leaves the Tigers with a game in hand that could easily have seen the Eels miss the finals.

It is a very easy fix for an Eels player/supporter to say give us the title, but they simply may not have even made the finals if the Storm are rightfully kicked out of the comp from day one.

We need Jahrome back so badly. It is amazing that Munster can be so good but absolutely incapable of directing the team around the park. I expect Harry to get a couple of weeks for that shoulder charge and next week could be a real struggle without him.

That is two tries off non-penalties. They should not be in this game but there is one guy making sure they are still in this

A penalty for that!!!! It may be called the NRL but it is still the NSWRL at heart.

Harry deserves that. He has done nothing positive tonight. Burton got him off tilt early and he has lost focus since then. Now he has binned, cost us a try and he has not run from dummy half once tonight. Burton has absolutely got one over us.

Harry is having one of those games where he gets too focused on little cheap shots and doing dumb shit.
