First matches I've seen today and Storm v Eels begs the question why would you need an SOO?

That's what these top class wingers do.

I'm not sure I understand the question.

- Because SOO is different teams?

- Because you can have more than 1 game in a season?

- Because fans want it?

- Because fans and TV networks pay for it?

Try the quality is so good what's the point? It's just a big up for the two teams and the way they're playing the game.

Though your response says a lot.

Jahrome Hughes try for Storm just before HT

[Graham]

Hughes try on the stroke of half time.

What a great try after Eels defenders brushed off.

 

[Man of Kent]

Melbourne have a reputation for being a dull side but that’s bulldink. This has been great to watch

Storm have put Eels on the backfoot in that half.

Relentless.
