Got to laugh at the NFL conference Cam Smith calls for 2 minutes at the end, referees are so spineless. Was watching with some foreigner's new to the game and even they asked is it a timeout called:question:

In the end though Parra just self-destructed. Touching Billy with a feather as he trying to run through, surely they should know the refs will be all over that.

But don't slap someone in the face. That's worse than an elbow according to the NRL refs.
Jwh got a penalty only for a worse one against lolohea, standards been set. God forbid you slap some merkin though!
Wont someone think of the children!!

The eels only got so close because Melbourne were bad. f**k off foxtel
Eeels drifted away from their game plan,and the tale of this match will show one half was a mirror opposite of the other with both sides swapping form drastically.

Whatever wasn't going right for the storm in the 1st half,upturned itself in the second.

The Storm side is very beatable.In fact,any side is.Providing the panic button gets thrown out the window...and the dumb rubblish itsn't part of it.

reckon a few melbourne players fell asleep in the ruck a dozen times tonight, one in particular during the second half that was so blatant even melbourne would've been surprised they weren't penalised.

Was also odd to see the eels the only side penalized for a grapple, while the refs yell "off the neck" to Melbourne players.

Credit where credit due. Parra dominated parts of the game and dominated the ruck.

After this I am convinced that Brad Arthur is a genius, baiting Bellamy into talking about the ruck. Bellamy bit and complained about parras holding down, refs not being told how to do there job let parra lay on the ruck as much as they wanted.

Storm completed stifled most of the tries had to come off unstructured fluke plays
