I still say where was plan B or C after so comprehensively being dominated early, as the plan A was pathetic and just did not work.

First half was ok but should have more points on the board. Where was a plan B in the second half?

Yeah, decent first half not leaking any points against but only because the Storm hadn't found their rhythm. Once Munster and Grant stepped up it was 12-12. And how many opportunities in the last ten did the Eels have to even just kick a field goal. Maybe plan b from the dud janitor should have been a surprise field goal kicker that no one expects? Storm players rushed Moses!!

That dense turd would not have the smarts to use a surprise field goal kicker. What a one dimensional team the Eels are and if you pressure them they fold. Boy, they need a coach who can coach.

If you watch Reynolds field goal against the Panthers no one in sight when he kicked the goal, but Moses was swamped. Moses couldn't even get a kick away in the clear. Worrying about direction is hard enough but he had no room to kick. Eels obviously don't do field goal drills at training.

everything about the Eels in the second half was ordinary at best. The Storm totally had there measure and deserved to win. Having no plan B really put you on the back foot and pan nick starts to creep into your game.

The Eels halves were too quiet and that might be OK against the weaker teams, but the Storm are still quality. Moses needs to direct the backline, a halfbacks job is to find the gaps and overlaps in the opposition's defence. Not just punt every 5th tackle.

could not have said it better myself. For a guy that kicks on the 5th tackle every time I thought his kicking game was very ordinary like it was in the GF. He is overpaid and an underachiever.

Agree, he kicked too many times straight to the Storm players. A great kicking game kicks between the fullback and winger with the ball bouncing many times before the opposition return the kick. Andrew Johns was the best at this, just watch the '01 grand final. But if you kick straight to the player the opposition will easily make the halfway by mid tackle set.

Even though the Eels made the GF last season there defense was suspect the whole season and I dont see that changing this season. There defense in the second half against the storm was pretty bad at best.

The second half performance was down right horrible against a team that has slipped a few notches from last season, but so have the Eels. I guess even more notches than the Storm?

With all that strike power in the team and they couldn't put a struggling Storm away. Last year Eels scored 608 points only better than two other teams in the top 8 but the best in the 8 scored 657.
