2024 R1 Fri - Melbourne 8-0 Penrith @ AAMI

[mozza91]

Sorry Panthers fans. No team has ever won their 4th consecutive premiership after losing 8-0 to Melbourne in Round 1.

 

[Frankus]

If Storm's outside backs have finally learned how to defend this year and the forwards can hold their own, they will be a threat.

100%

 

[Danny-Boy]

Full respect to the Storm. Well done.

 

[Munky]

All respect to the Storm.

Soni Luke is the worst reserve grade to first grade transition since Matt Gafa.

 

[Woody90]

Did you flip coins for home and away? Lol

Tipped Manly (Seibold teams always seem to start well), Storm and Raiders (being a Knights fan I can’t trust them not to be stupid at the best of times let alone round 1).

Coincidentally was most confident about Broncos + Wahs winning.

 

[Apey]

Its great to see long term cellar dwellers Storm and Roosters looking like they might make something of themselves this year.

 

[Saxon]

You sad f**k

Please,
"You sad CORRECT f**k".

 

[Panther Mike]

Poor attack from Penrith tonight no matter how good Storm’s defence might have been. No real creativity or organisation.

Our depth looking shakier this year too with plodders like Luke, Eisenhuth etc playing too many minutes. The Penrith team of ‘21 and ‘22 was so much better.

 

[moffla]

Pleasantly surprised with the way we defended there. Panthers were clunky but last season we’d have comfortably shipped 4 tries at least.

More of that please!

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

Wow i got a tip right!!

You dirty bitch.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Can’t beat a crappy English team, now can’t score a try.

No credit for Storm's defence shutting down your decision making time?

Credit to Storm deserved but just sick of watching plod like attack from players I know can do a lot better.

Yeah it’s been a horrific last couple of years for Penrith fans.

Well done to the Storm; defended well. Penrith will be better for the run.

can someone explain the logic that the bunker used to deny the Soni Luke try; suggested that Hughes wasn’t impeded but it caused the line to slide (?); did I pick that up right? Is that a new interpretation or just referring to the fact you can’t run behind someone. I wouldn’t mind the latter as it makes it pretty cut and dry.

 

[Cowboyz]

I don’t normally like complimenting the Purple scum, but f**k me they played with heart tonight.
More of that consistently and they’ll go all the way. Well done for a round 1 effort

Simple as.
Seems the bunker has learned the rule since the 2020 GF.
