Stewart scored his 2nd try off a great ball from Watmough
Stewart scored the his try off a Watmough final pass after making a break

So why didn't Watmough pass in the last 4 games?

Surprised no-one mentioned Parra as a one man team - Ray Price? We've been struggling since he smashed Mark Bugden, lifted the Winfield Cup and went fishin.

Loudstrat that was there problem they kept playing as if Stewart was going to be running through to catch on of those risky passes, did you watch the Panthers game? They did it all night costing them possesion & essentially the game. If they want to win without Stewart they need to adjust their style of play & thats basically there problem in the first 4 games they need to get back to grinding it out.

The circumstantial evidence points to it.
If you take out Brett Stewart, they will most likely lose.
Mick Crocker did it in the GF 2007, and we won.

Great call:crazy:....Lets have a look

Stats since 2005!....

Manly With Brett Stewart/ W-out Stewart

Won 58 Won 8
Lost 33 Lost 11

Storm with Cam Smith/ W-out Smith

Won 73 Won 6
Lost 22 Lost 7


Looks like Smith helps Melbourne just as much...(if not more)

:clap::clap::clap::clap:

Now get back to your chicken wing.

It's amazing how stats can be twisted and manipulated to suit someones argument. I think you'll find that pretty much all the games the Mexicans have lost without Smith in the side, they were also missing up to 9 other players who were out on Origin duty as well which is where the majority if not all of their games would've been lost without him.

:clap:

Not sure why you were clapping but as you were, back to your denial.

:lol: Classic.

The games that Cameron Smith was in/out would coincide with Origin I'd say, where they were also missing at one point or another Quinn, Turner, Slater, Inglis, Folau, Geyer, White, Kaufusi, Johnson, King, Hoffman and I'm sure there's others.

That's 10+ other players that would have been out at the same time as he was, not all at once perhaps, but still. That's a major difference to the Storm's structure.

Well it's pretty damning really:

Manly without Stewart 34 - 8

Melbourne without Smith 40 - 0

Hello friend...Welcome.

For starters, i was just proving what a stupid comment it was to say that manly are a "one man team". (just using Smith as example as im not a huge Melbourne fan)
And that has been done....Surely.
And for your info Melbourne have had 3 wins and 4 losses with 3 byes without their 10 origin players.
oh yeah....I wish we all had a team with 10 origin players!!!
Lastly, Its quite hard to twist and manipulate stats. I just pass on what the records say. Hardly twisting or manipulation, its just proof for the current argument.
:clap:TWIST THIS
How do you like them apples??? ;-)

Welcome my friend,

Origin time.....
Storm have won 3 Lost 4 and had 3 byes.

Glad you wrote something.....
Cowboys have won 3 from 18 without Thurston.
And yes, there would of been a few origin moments in there.:) (im well aware)

So you should stick to writing about your own One man team.

Manly missed Stewart for 4 consecutive matches, all resulted in losses.
If Cam smith was out for 4 consecutive matches and Storm lost all matches then your analysis might have some merit. But we've won without him before.

Just goes to show how the rest of the storm players can cheat to win games.

Cloud9......resentful, delusional and bitter is no way to go through life.

First, you need to admit you have a problem. In your case, you obviously haven't gotten over the Grand Final result. It was only a game! The majority of other Storm fans seem to have moved on. For the sake of your own sanity, try to do the same.

Because.......there is a very clear example, as to where you're headed if you don't.

A certain sad and pathetic individual, we all know.....Rockin Ronny. You can throw markieboy in there to. This is what happens when you allow yourself to obsess over something to the point where, any attempt at a rational arguement is clouded(no pun intended) by persistant anti-Manly sentiments.

The strain is showing on you.
Do you need counselling?

I have been vindicated again. When Stewart is in the side, the whole team clicks.
Leave him out, and they struggle.
