Very Important GAME DAY. Mighties vs Melbourne Drizzle. Win to enter the GF.

[The Silverdale Phantom]

They took that penalty goal instead of the tap right near the line which suggested they weren’t overly exuberant about their attack policy near your line.

And their obvious wind down the game instructions near the end.

Harry sees the lack of markers and explodes. That was surprising.

I thought it was all still manageable at half time despite their recent flurry.

Go f*CK yourself, as it would be only person who would, brave on a keyboard

You embarrass yourself every week Steve. Just calling you out on ridiculous comments last night from a complete overreaction to the loss. Brave on keyboard? Go tell Fitz your opinion champion.

Gould was crapping on about how they had to continue to play footy even with their noses in front, but they studiously ignored his advice and won the game.

You had a lot of strike left.

 

[Captain Apollo]

Also think fitzy didnt use his bench right. Why not inject fresher legs earlier ? A high stakes and high intensity game and he waits the same as his previous times for changes

The Fox commentary team pointed that out. They were amazed Nikora was kept on ice until after halftime when he usually produces something.

 

[DJDL]

Rudolph’s HIA because of poor body language stuffed the rotation

Just on that, why did he bring in BHU for Toby?
I would have thought Herb was the obvious choice.
That decision really stuffed the rotation.

And from that, through the middle stages when we are normally starting to steam roll the opposition, we have no BHU and no Tommy.
Sifa ends up a one man show.

And there goes our entire game.

 

[DJDL]

A $1M number 7 until 2029. This is the problem As He is worth 700 max

I would say it's a problem, but not the problem.

On top of that, AFB needs more support up front and we need someone with strike out wide.
Fullback and right centre are the most obvious choices for those changes.
Who knows whether we have it on our books or not, but we need to find something.

For me, I'm looking for massive off seasons from:
- Max Bradbury
- Felix Faatili
- Sam McCullough
- Michael Gabrael

I think I'd also like to see Riley Pollard or Niwhai Puru get some game time.

What is your name ozzi, or you want to hide behind being anom.
Last night we failed this year we won nothing, no over action and again next year there will be no improvement.
Our record this year against Panthers Broncos and Storm
1 win 4 losses that is not good enough at all.
Last night once again Hynes went missing
Trindall 2 prelims in a row nothing
Ramien missing
Same people fail to perform when they have to yes.
Yes we had a joke of a referee and Fitz should have got into this when he was announced saying not happy to have him as ref

To me the halves together won't win us a comp, we need one or the other.
I am more inclined to stick with Trindall but the club will say Hynes generates cash off the field, that has to count for nothing, it's just about winning.
We need to give a young half a go, I know Raiders bombed out but Strange is already on par with our halves and he is half a decade younger

Yep we missed out, like 16 other teams will. But making the calls you made last night and above makes no sense. My name is Thomas, friends call me Tom. You can call me Thomas.

Yeah Tom

 

[Generalzod]

Yeah I agree I don't think Hynes can take this team to a premiership, but saying this how bad was the ref last night? The kick off after we scored our first try Rudolph takes the ball up gets hit by a shoulder charge, he got up groggy not one penalty, laying in the ruck at one time I noticed how the storm players took around 4 seconds to clear the ruck. Again how Kleins is given a gig is beyond me? Also the game is rigged.

Said in the game thread I wont be going to another game Klein is reffing.

 

[eddiesmith]

Good, someone else that thought AFB's knock on was a strip too. Stefano has his hand around the ball and it magically comes loose, he knew what he was doing, it becomes a loose carry because it was yanked out by the storm.

Seen plenty in the past where the bunker would never overrule the on field decision if a hand was on the ball like that.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Stefano looked guiltier than Schapelle Corby.

 

[Generalzod]

Apparentley it was said that we haven't won a game against the Storm since 2018, while Klein was ref.

Our overall winning record is below 40 with him in charge.

For some strange reason the West Tigers have a really high winning record and a very + penalty count despite being shit for most of those years.

Two words: Tim Simona

 

[Surely]

Watched the replay , that nikora no try what a missed opportunity, just a little step to the left and he's in easily

Later I will be do some more self flagellation

f**k off dropkick. Frenz called you out a long time ago. You tried to say he was bullying you.
He died this year.
You're an attention seeker, do it elsewhere merkin.
