08 :: R19 MNF :: Storm 26 Dragons 0 @ Olympic

[no name]

Hodges and Inglis so far in front of Cooper and Gasnier as a centre pairing the former would need a fleet of taxis to catch up...

That makes no sense at all.

That makes no sense at all.

Apologies. Typo corrected...

Entertaining night. Terrible display of footy though. Even worse refereeing.

 

[Hoggy]

Felt like it was 1982 watching old faded St.George jumpers go around, biff everywhere, someone get sent off for a scrum infringement, and pissing down rain.

Great stuff.

Thank you Badger for ruining a good old grudge match. The Storm were always going to be too good, but it became a non contest after Ryles was sent off. The Dragons cracked under added pressure and the Storm capitalised.
It will be a huge achievement for the Storm if they can get the minor premiership after being heavily involved in origin.
I was disappointed the Dragons couldn't put any points on and some may think the wheels have fallen off. I really hope they get it together now with Brown and co leaving at the end of the season. Every game now is important to the Dragons.


As for the fights and the send off...

That's the softest, most f*cking disgusting decision I've ever seen from a little turd trying to look like a "big man". Gifted the Storm the 2 points on the spot and ruined the game. 26-0 isn't that bad in the circumstances, the match was an abhorration and I'm extremely proud of the first half effort especially.

And great to see the Storm/Panthers/a thousand other teams fan pantherz78947865786548975489899 put in his two cents. Typically brilliant commentary!

Gotta agree...the Ryles send off was pathetic.

Soward got targeted the whole game by the Storm forwards and this won the match.

Even if Ryles stayed on...the Storm boys had it in the forwards as the game went on but it was pretty frustrating to see the ref ignoring slow plays and holding down in the tackle.

As for the media jumping on the stupid grapple bandwagon again...the dodgy tackles were going both ways in this match IMO.

J Smith went too far there.

What ??...so you would tolerate a late hit after scoring a try ???.
