"From around the 45th minute to the 72nd minute Storm completed 17 sets to our 3 sets.
The score went from 18-4 to 46-4 in the 66th. Then Simmo was sin-binned.
It's a minor miracle only 6 points were conceded in the last 14 minutes with 12 men.…"

"1000% this. As soon as you're gassed you're done.
Six against and sin bins are death in this current game. Regardless of all other factors if you can't stay disciplined you will get pumped."

Any news on Ben Crooks. Is he playing the next grade down?
Yeah... I thought someone was missing. Both Crooks and ZDC.
Anyone who though ZDC was a possibility, well forget that. He would have been given a final test in NSW Cup.
I am surprised that they didn't name Kelly in the #9 and play Beau Henry in the halves to give Kelly some preparation for first grade if needed. Could still be a game day change I guess.
Potentially wrapping ZDC in cotton wool so he doesn't get injured?
No
Mind you, one would think if Bevan was in line to play the same would apply to him. Looks like it's probably a choice between Quinlan or Hoppa at the back.
True. So here's your other alternative - Sandow plays nine. He and Kelly could switch around during the match to give them both a break from defending in the middle. Let Sandow do a bunch of kicking out of dummy half, you get the structure of Kelly and if we need Sandow's creativity Kelly pops into nine and Sandow takes up his seven role. That's actually how I would handle it.
I think we're going to have to accept we're going to lose a lot in the middle but not a great difference between Kelly and Sandow as a nine I would suggest.
