I'm so glad we got rid of Papenhuyzen from Wests. Nothing worse at a club than having high quality young players coming through the ranks. Nobody wants that.

Good point well made.

Then there’s the Fox too. They come to Storm and fit in well developing their game.

[Futtocks]

Oui Papa!

The half-century is up - Storm scoring like Freddie Flintoff and Eels scoring like Geoff Boycott.

Oui Papa!

Is that Nicole?

[Man of Kent]

Harlem Globetrotters stuff. Melbourne scoring almost at will. The Eels’ bottoms will be mighty sore after this spanking 

[Graham]

Storm have punished Eels and Sivo in the best possible manner. Eels were struggling anyway mind.

and Koroibete.

At least Addo Fox wasn't one of ours. He came through the Sharks system but Papenhuyzen played 16s 18s and 20s for Wests so we've been staring at him for 6 years then let him go.

[Futtocks]

 

[Man of Kent]

Running out of superlatives here.

[Graham]

Starting to feel sorry for the Eels.

I do this!

[Farmduck]

Kenny Bromide try. Smith goal.  58 - 6

[Graham]

Kenny Bromwich piles on the agony for Eels quite literally.

Another Storm Try.

[Futtocks]

A brace of Bromwiches give the Storm yet another try. Heading for 60 with plenty of time to get 70.

[Farmduck]

Maika Sivo try out wide. Parra comeback is on

[Graham]

Sivo try

Still plenty of time left...

[Farmduck]

Mitchell Moses misses the kick. Eels  10 - 58

[Futtocks]

Parramatta experiencing the giddy heights of double figures.

[Farmduck]

It's not over till the Fox sings!

[Man of Kent]

It’s been a little bit like watching a horse racing meeting at times, this game

[Futtocks]

Parramatta know how the Washington Generals feel...

[Farmduck]

FT:   Storm  64  Eels  10

[Graham]

Well what to say?

All Storm in that one.

They found space to play with and they opened up big time.

Some great individual tries, but overall an impressive team performance.

Eels had one of those days and need to put that behind them.

What were their forwards doing?

[Futtocks]

A performance so good, Craig Bellamy actually smiled. Wowsers!

[Graham]

The Fox thought of passing to Will Chambers who was playing a milestone 200th game, but then well  instinct took over and he just wove his way round a bamboozled Eels defence.

No I think you’ll find it was just wind.

[Oliver Clothesoff]

That Addo-Carr try was superb. One of the best we’ll see all year.
