When he is on he is the best by alot I reckon. Just every now and then has a slip up that is a big slip up. I'm surprised he got the biggest game of the first week.

Yep I agree. Would have been a much slower game if Klown Klein was ref as he would have not pulled up the Storm and their dodgy ruck crap like Atkins did.

I had exactly the same thought. In Origin Payne didn't get involved really in scuffles because his Broncos mates were there. Pat didn't have a second thought getting into it with a mate he played Origin and Australia with.

So many teams have been "off" when they've played us this year according to the pundits and the same old story is being repeated after last night. "Storm were off, Storm were clunky etc. etc."
I wonder if they'll ever figure it out.

It's like something was denying them the time and space to execute their plays that they put on the training paddock, what could it be?

Probably because they rested players last week.

I reckon the Storm last night were so focused on having a game plan to stop Walsh ( and he wasnt as involved or effective as usual ) they forgot we arent a one man team.
That game last night was won on physicality more than our skillset. That first half was as physical as anything i have seen in recent years at NRL level. I've never seen Payno gassed after 30 mins, but him and Carrigan both were. Tbf, the Storm matched it with us physically in that first half, but early in the second you could see their intensity levels dropped.
I knew we were winning that game anyway. I dont think i have ever mentioned it, but i said we were winning it by 26.

That was definitely worth the drive up the M1 for. Had great seats, 2 row behind Reece Walsh’s daughter. She was chill as. Good win. Glad we finally got it done.

That hurt them, the pain on Munsters face in that interview was undeniable.
That was a face of “couldn’t handle the smoke” and knew it!

Bellamy just hasn't been able to replace the forwards he lost to Dolphins and last night it was evident, they got some great players in the spine but never really had any momentum through the ruck.
Harry Grant couldn't do anything behind a pack that was struggling to get on top.

When we win the Premiership, i think we need a statue outside Suncorp to Gus Gould. He's been catalyst for our improvement in defence since he made that comment a month ago. I love you Gus

Was any reason given for their captain not turning up to the presser?

Busy still whinging to the ref.
Literally got a penalty and was having a whinge in the first few minutes.

Haven't read through the whole thread so not sure if it's been posted but it was NAS that destroyed Paps leg.
Full weight of NAS coming down on your leg isn't ideal.
Said it in the pre match thread but Munster has been quiet/ordinary since Origin. Not sure what's going on there. As long as he performs during Origin that's all that matters.
Just so stoked with last night. Was an awesome atmosphere at the game.
