2018 QF2 Fri - Storm 29-28 Rabbitohs @ AAMI

[t-ba]

And yet there was a thread earlier in the season with some whining about the exact opposite.

I honestly think they need to think long and hard about going back to 5m at least at the elite levels.

That's because they're myopic wankers who are only interested in instant gratification - like an obese food addict complaining about his local McDonalds shutting down. Need food! Need now!

Comment on tonight's game:

Comment on the game that souths and Melbourne played earlier this year:

Tbf storms play the speed average was 3.26 and the rabbits 3.08. Rabbits only won the wrestle by 6%

Someone's lying.

Repost!!!!!

RL crowds in RL heartland are better than RL crowds in AFL heartland, quick, call the papers with this breaking news...

If only that were true 2/3rds of the NRL clubs would love crowds like the Storm.

 

[stormbati]

Wow what a game! I really thought Souths had us at the end before Blair scored his second.
I thought Munster really stood up when it counted and the Storm pack played their best game all year. Kaufusi, Finucane and Christian Welch were outstanding.
Credit to Souths could have gone either way but love the performance from my side

 

[The Charlatan]

As a neutral that was a cracking game that was nearly ruined by inept reffing. I f**ken hate the Storm but they deserved that win.

Got my stats off NRL.com

while there was some excellent defence tonight, there was more than a fair share of shit defence as well.
It was an exciting game with some absolute classic tries and great hits (mainly in the first half) but it was not overall a great defensive game

There was a lot of fatigue in the game because of the lack of penalties and Storm's high completion rate. Just like in origin.

You’ve got to be fair with the crowd it went head to head with a massive game at the G.

Also another big game yesterday, over 180,000 people at the MCG the last two days with a lot of those people probably also going for the Storm. But people aren’t made of money and can probably only be able to go to one of the games and choose the AFL.

But....but....sports capital of Australia

200k attending finals here tonight and last night. Which other city would beat that?

Im sure they've had better completion rates than that. I thought the Storm made a lot more errors than they usually do. Low errors is usually their forte but not lately.

3.25 vs 3.16 play the ball speed storm closed the gap in the wrestling tonite.

Would have been interesting had the bunnies been penalised for holding down in the lead up to that field goal, it was a clear sin bin job but storm may not have converted from the spot.

89% completion rate.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

89% completion rate.

A lot of errors though and theres no doubt about that. The Rabbits scoring so many points off those errors too. Any percentages for the errors?

Pretty much this- some calls that gave a big boost to Souths tonight.

Stats are pretty even across the board, but Storm 8 errors, Bunnies 7

Wazn and horse racing is better

Shut up lesso

 

[Puntoue]

Wonder if R20’s gonna dig deep into his LU Rabbitohs heritage and start off his heartbroken post with

“I’m trying not to cry as a write this right now”

That sounds about right when I reflect back on the game.

I reckon the Storm was a lot tidier last year compared to this year. Im sure they made less errors last year and of course with that, a lot more completed sets.
