    Comparing Melbourne to the 75 Roosters.....

    Setting Craig aside, give any club the personnel of the Storm Staff List and success is on the way. I would pay good money to spend a day in the Storm bunker, especially Bunn & Co. I am dumfounded why this publication has not sent their best to do an in depth story on the people named on the...

    Comparing Melbourne to the 75 Roosters.....

    Whether others like them or not I think it’s hard to deny they are a well run outfit and I think every other club wants the Storm’s recipe for success. I think it’s like trying to cook KFC at home though. I can figure out most of the basic ingredients and try and replicate it but until I know...

    Comparing Melbourne to the 75 Roosters.....

    They lost Hynes & Finucane for next year but have signed Nick Meaney and Bronson Garlick that can prove more than handy replacements. Sadly I expect Meaney to go like Reimis Smith, much better at the Storm than the Dogs. One of our best the last couple of years but not had the pack or halves to...

    Comparing Melbourne to the 75 Roosters.....

    In the past few years, every time they lost one of their “star players”, so called experts predicted them to struggle. However Bellamy & his support staff seem to possess the knack of signing lesser players from other clubs & they seamlessly learn their roles & soon become another cog in a well...

    Comparing Melbourne to the 75 Roosters.....

    I have long wondered why the Sydney centric critics have been so harsh on the Storm when this club has given the NRL a truly national game which has in turn led to better income streams which help make the game they all earn their living from more financially sustainable. Almost biting the hand...

    Comparing Melbourne to the 75 Roosters.....

    Golden State Warriors 2016 (73 wins of 82 games) side beat the great Chicago Bulls 1996 (72 wins) team’s record for wins in a season. The GSW 2016 won’t be held in the same regard as the CB 1996 cause the GSW didn’t go on and win the championship like the bulls did. So I think we probably need...

    Opinion Penrith

    Thanks Rosco, and in that vein I have to say that the tactics in the 2nd half by Penrith were better. Ivan got it wrong in the first half and his ability to change tactics at half time show why he is even a better coach than Bennett and Bellamy put together. Cleary’s tactical kicking was the...

    Comparing Melbourne to the 75 Roosters.....

    1. Melbourne’s winning streak is being compared to the Easts 18 wins in a row so I thought it would be better to compare it to St.George’s unbeaten team which included every game of the year with one draw. Easts lost two early games to Cronulla and St.George and a major semi final loss to...

    Opinion Penrith

    Those two first half tries from Penrith when we were down on the scoreboard against the Bunnies were pretty amazing. Also I think Tevita Pangai is going to be a force. He just seems to be a point of difference to the charging Fish, Moses and Lenui who hit with great momentum whereas he has size...

    Opinion Penrith

    I notice the Penrith Panthers have a new tackle tactic to slow down tackles and play the ball when they hit in 2 or 3 tackles. Rather then lie on them and get up slowly or the old wrestle where you now get penalised they hold the player with the ball up. Lift them about…and wait for the ref to...

    Opinion Penrith

    I am watching the Raiders vrs Manly match and Josh Hodson has gone for 3 or 4 shoulder charges in a row. They weren’t blatant Sonny Bill bell-ringers, more like the Cleary charge. Refs had just been letting them go, but guarantee with the rule coming under scrutiny this week, the edict will be...

    But now both the AFL and Rugby League are national games

    Opinion Penrith

    The Penny Panthers v Souffs Rabbits game should be a beauty! They’re both pretty much full strength if JFH plays so would be a preview to their Finals match up if they remain 2, 3 on the ladder. This maybe the Grand Final preview. On form you would say my Pennies as we haven’t seen a full...

    Opinion Penrith

    We should enjoy our lives because we never know what might happen. Look at this young Afghan soccer player who was ripped to shreds inside the wheel compartment of the USA plane that took off from Kabul. His last post on Facebook was:- You’re the painter of your live [sic] Don’t give the...

    Comparing Melbourne to the 75 Roosters.....

    It doesn't matter about Grant's playing weight, it is speed and stamina that counts. This he has in abundance.

    Comparing Melbourne to the 75 Roosters.....

    The game has changed so that Grant and Brandon Smith are hugely advantaged. And having two top class hookers means you are taking the pace to the defence when they are tired. In Cam Smith's day the game suited him. But the rules have changed now and the Melbourne Storm worked the new rules out...
