Wow... Well done Storm for putting up such a good fight with a reserve grade side.
Would have beaten the eels by 50 with a full strength team.

Who are you Phil Gould?

And Newcastle would have beat Manly by 30 with a full strength team.

Hah !

I know it was a second string Storm side but the full strength Melbourne side could qualify as an Origin team. If the Storm were to play with a similar roster to other teams, they wouldn't have those 9 state players anyway. It would only be todays team plus about 3 or 4 state players.

Although the Storm did well today, teams like the Raiders fight it out each and every week without rep players and still manage to win a fair few games and compete for the 8.

Oh BTW Steve Turner is the Worst player to play for NSW..

Nope. Daniel Wagon is.

 

[Dutchy]

Didnt Wagon play for QLD?

 

[Knights_Premiers]

Nope. Daniel Wagon is.

Wagon played for Queensland but he was definetely their worst.

 

[Captian_Klutz]

Didnt Wagon play for QLD?

yes he did.

NSW/QLD same diff to a Victorian ;-).

:sch:

We were poor today but i will take the two it makes up for that loss against the Broncos. Also what was wrong with those two dissallowed tries, this is proof the Video Refs interference is destroying the game.

And Newcastle would have beat Manly by 30 with a full strength team.

And you figured this how exactly?

Melbourne had 9 missing! and you guys only just won off the back off a few dodgy penalties everytime Finch took a dive.
Not saying Parra are a bad team, they just turned up with an awful attitude and would have got slaughtered by a full strength side.

Thought the first one should have been given, happy with the second one not given. If you watch it from the wide angle you can see he was obstructed.

Now onto the "held up" try that didn't even go to the video ref.. and to the soft pens on finch, and the so called "played at" balls that weren't and the knock ons that weren't given.

Anyway, you got lucky, well done on playing us with 9 of our best players out. Perhaps see you again in the finals..

 

[camsmith]

Would that be the same ref that sinbinned one of our players? :crazy:

Yep.

Or do you think players can be tackled without the ball right near the goal line?

Glad you weren't the ref in '99.

You should be saying Parra are a bad team, because they are! A full strength Storm side would have humiliated them today, and most Parra fans still think we can still win the title this year...

How do you know a full strength Storm team would have humiliated them? Maybe Parra would have turned up ready for a big game seeing as though the Full storm squad would have been there...

Maybe If the Sea Eagles/Knights Took on the Storm yesterday they would have been beaten aswell..

Nope. Daniel Wagon is.

Atleast he has some use during a game Turner= Waste of space...
