2016 R26 - Storm 26-6 Sharks @ AAMI Park

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

A fart of a game...expected an epic.

Started of good but yep.

 

[Pete Cash]

Cameron Smith has been playing the refs like a fiddle for a decade. He does it in origin games in Sydney why wont it happen in the big games.

 

[some11]

Typical Melbourne try, Smith just sucks in the defenders and lets Bromwich do the rest.

 

[GongPanther]

Panthers V Canberra GF lock it in.

 

[TheFrog]

If the Storm play like this no-one will stop them. But the trouble is, they might play like last week.

 

[The_Shield]

Canberra Raiders fans you're welcome. Don't say the Storm don't do anything for ya

 

[DOGSvsEELS]

fmd townsend is a horrible ball player.

sharks don't have enough big bodies & go forward in the middle. they have been getting out muscled the last few weeks.

 

[GongPanther]

Just in....Farah pissed off from Tigertown...

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Wow nobody saw that Farah news coming....

I don't understand this obsession with saying Melbourne are bending the rules, the wrestle hysteria was 7 years ago and now pretty much every team wrestles to the same level or better than them

Not about the wrestle. Watch where they stand with ref to the referee every tackle in defence, why do their wingers have so many intercepts this year by coming in field?

Watch the number of "flat" passes that they throw each game. One gets called forward and Capt Cam has a moan and you are guaranteed not to get any more.

Dont get me wrong, their spine is great and their recruitment even better. I am envious.

But yes, everything that club does is right on the edge of fair play. That is your coach.

Oh and they do wrestle very well also....

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Sharks had 20 put on them but they can't be written off. Beat canberra next week and their one win away from the GF. And they can beat us.

 

[Pedge1971]

They've beaten the Cowboys twice already this year. And neither game was in Melbourne

Means nothing now.

And Smith has literally been doing this for decades in club and rep games. What makes you think that they will randomly crack down on it in the grand final. If anything they will give it more leeway out of fear of "influencing results"

I am terrified that the refs will put the whistle away in the finals and let teams hold us down for example.

 

[Pedge1971]

...and I'm a Cowboys fan

but I still think they will be our opponents in the big one

Get past them nezt week fella.

Someone check on Townsend in the sheds afterwards, he's had about 15 Storm shoves to the face.

Yep...different comp from now on...

It means Melbourne are a bloody good side. That's what it means

 

[ram raid]

That's why Melb are premiership favs. They won't fall for that trick the broncs pulled on them again. Still any of Storm/Broncs/Raiders/Cows could win.

 

[Pete Cash]

Why didnt the sharks use the fool proof plan ?

Sticky will have a plan mate. Good luck.
