Rephrase. How many were deserving penalties?

Zero

 

[Dani]

:lol:

If you say so...

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Haha, well you'll just have to come say hello some time won't you?

 

[kia ora storm]

Watmough is a bit of a liability. How many penalties did he give away last night?

Watmough must hate facing Storm...he has had two shockers now.;-)

 

[Dani]

I try to stay away from groupies.

Last night wasnt really a shocker. Before his injury he was doing well. Our best forward. Close to the best 2nd rower in the game? Before this round, as far as stats speak, he WAS the best.

 

[t-ba]

Thank Christ I worked through that nightmare...

 

[Timmah]

Maybe he's like Paul Gallen and is a bit of a "stats stealer" - takes load of hit-ups and metres in the last 10-15 minutes when the game's gone... :sarcasm:

 

[Ice777]

Not surprising some of the comments being thrown at the Manly players...lol but i do wonder if these spectators really know anything about the game at all

How ironic is that coming from you? This after you said just this week that the Storm's defence is "iffy" (57 points let through in 5 games) not to mention calling their attack one dimensional. I wouldn't be questioning other people's knowledge of the game after those two pearls of wisdom from you.

I suggest you watch him when he gets his match fitness. He does the hard yards. I'm amazed that such a dumb footballer can run such good angles too.

I know its bait. But i'll have a nibble

He does the hard yards like T said. May aswell be our best front-rower aswell. Great hole runner.

pretty disappointed with the Sea Eagles, expected alot more of them after the last couple of weeks. Oh well. Went to the game too, not a bad crowd..just wish they knew when a dominant and surrender tackle happened. Not surprising some of the comments being thrown at the Manly players...lol but I do wonder if these spectators really know anything about football at all

Youmust be represent these spectators ???...Storm not playing as a team ??.:sarcasm:

t-ba it was alot worse at the ground, ok the Storm supporter half of me loved it but the other half that was really looking forward to seeing Manly play for the first time in 2 years hated it because it wasn't a close score.

 

[Timmah]

Shut up. Now. Please.

 

[gong_eagle]
