Negatives:

Storm won.
Captain Cleanskin finished the game.
Captain Cleanskin broke a record for something.

Positives:

Storm showed they're well and truly beatable against a team who doesn't drop their bundle and make silly errors in defence.

The League world has been spared a Storm v Manly or Broncos GF. Now to hope a Storm v Roosters doesn't happen or (to dream the impossible dream) neither team makes the decider.

Brad Arthur crying in the press conference about the bunker not looking at the possible forward pass in Storm's first try. No such concerns about the NFL pass to Radradra for his though. :rolleyes:

And the stupid merkin doesn't seem to understand that the video ref can't call forward passes

The video ref wouldn't be ruling on the forward pass. It would be whether it was touched. I thought he could've checked it. He could have said that the ball travelled forward, but ask to check if it was touched.

Regardless, how the referee could argue that a ball travelling backwards could change direction and travel 3 metres forward over such a short distance because it touched a defender's fingertips is mind boggling. Clearly it had to already be travelling forward.
