2016 Wk 1 Qual Final - Storm 16-10 Cowboys @ AAMI Park

[JW]

Would have preferred to play the Storm in Melbourne than NQ in NQ, whilst the home ground advantage is there for the Storm it's not quite the same atmosphere that we will be presented with next week when we travel north

I give us no chance really

Same, our strong points from last year just aren't there any more, particularly on line defence and completion rates.

I think NQ are good to make it to the end again, but Melbourne have well and truly got one hand on the trophy at the moment.

 

[Shorty]

To me we just look tired and this is why it's difficult to go back to back.
You can see the players are finding it hard to maintain the rage.
I see this with the Broncos but they flash hunger in small patches.

They'll definitely be in the big dance.
Can't see Canberra or Penrith / Dogs beating them in Melbourne

 

[Vic Mackey]

As much as I would love to see the raiders or panthers upset the storm I can't see it happening. Storm obvious Premiership favorites IMO

The best part of this game besides Storm winning was the refs were very good tonight and hardly any mention of them unlike last nights debacle

 

[drago brelli]

I realise that Canberra have strike power but they are a bit of a shambles. A depleted Cronulla showed them up tonight.

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

For such a close game, I didn't find it that interesting. The ball control was pretty amazing though.

 

[LESStar58]

War of attrition. Would watch again.

despite all that, we still got within 6 of them

I don't think we are that far off

I think we will meet them again

Storm did enough to win tonight without tiring themselves out..Never in doubt

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

You were within 6, but really they looked to have it in the bag the whole way. Just my opinion. I guess only 1 try and the whole thing goes golden... I just didn't feel the Cows could get there without forcing errors from the Storm. D wasn't in there face fast enough.

Yes exactly it can be done.
Notice milking was completely ignored.

Typical Storm score first points and go to cruise control.
They're a class above everyone else.

That being said it was wet so we couldn't play our usual game as much.

the point is it doesn't matter if one team looked comfortable the scoreboard is the only thing that matters
but yes the Storm defense didn't look troubled
I feel we should have used the inside ball more because the Storm slide so well

Well froggy I hope the cowboys appreciate the lesson we gave you tonight so you can improve for next weeks game.
