2026 R3 Fri - Melbourne 14-18 Brisbane @ AAMI

[some11]

Brisbane following their theme of late last year I see... play Madge ball, fall 14+ behind, throw out the game plan, win

Maguire dropping Shib and moving Willison to 2nd row was a great move

 

[Vee]

lol no I’m out in the bush originally. I’ve never lived in Sydney in my life.

For a Sharks fan you sound better than you should.

 

[some11]

Well done Brisbane.

Shove that up your f**king arse Gordon.

Deserves every ounce of shit coming his way!

 

[Fangs]

Right up his arse.

I'm not one to fawn over Brisbane but Tallis has been an absolute muppet this week. Deserves all the criticism. Its weird seeing it come from a club legend. He needs his head checked.

 

[Munky]

Tallis is the Neil Harvey of Rugby League.

Rent a quote about the Broncos.

 

[King hit]

They’ve renamed a place at the club or something to the women’s player (Briggenshaw I think) because he is such a tosser

 

[horrie hastings]

Hopefully @Vic Mackey is bumping his Munster thread. Probably the most overrated big name player of the last few years. Plays great for QLD & Aus, largely MIA for Storm unless they're winning by 20.

Looked like you could have fried chips in Munsters hair tonight.

 

[moffla]

Broncos were really up for it tonight. Even in the first half, I thought that all they needed to do was hold the ball.

Deserved the win.

we are mentally f**ked from the grand final. As soon as Brisbane scored in the second half, the entire side dropped their heads. I knew exactly what was coming after that.

 

[Apey]

Bitter much?

He's been the worst of the spine in pretty much all their recent big finals games but is paid the most. Living off his name + rep performances at this point.

 

[moffla]

People ripping on Sua are f**king weird though. He’s done nothing wrong - hated for no reason.

He's been getting hair advice from Mario...

Controversial opinion perhaps, but I thought the GF last year was a real sign it's time for Bellyache and the Storm to part ways.

Craig's been there so long he probably needs a fresh start somewhere else, and likewise the Storm have a Premiership-tier squad on paper but it's time they went in a new direction. Not a slight on the coach or the squad in any way - just sometimes things get stale and it's time to move on...

Presumably only cause the last play of the game was him mis-kicking while someone held onto his under shorts.

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

Cheers Scoop.

 

[glockers]

For suspense let's do this in reverse.

1. Billy Slater
2. Reece Walsh
3. GOAT Galvin

Riki unlucky but just had to give Slater 1.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Melbourne's diving in the last 20 minutes was really special. 10s, 10s, 10s across the board!!

 

[blaza88z]

We beat the pricks, in Melbourne, pretty much in identical fashion to the way we beat them in the GF, a bit of scarring there now I reckon. Makes up for 2 decade stranglehold they had on us a little bit.

Also Gordon Tallis, you're irrelevant. The club even disowns you at this point, you're nothing more than a St George player. Not even a good one either.

That's a bit unfair mate, he didn't even play for St George in his past season at the club.
He's less than a player.

 

[Big Pete]

GG Storm.

No Coates, Blore, Katoa etc. and nearly pinched it at the death. As long as your spine remains intact you'll always be in the hunt.

Brisbane couldn't have asked for a better start to the second half and it rolled on from there. The senior players stepped up with Riki having a career game down that right edge. The only concern was Ezra's form, he's proving a liability at the moment.

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Can we rip on Stefano though? I thought he had a decent game, but whenever he talks big his teams loses lol
