08 :: R9 MNF :: Storm 18 Knights 4 @ Olympic

[Eelectrica]

A team that can defend as well as the Knights did tonight isn't wooden spoon material. Not even close.

 

[Misanthrope]

Who do you support anyway Gaba?

Women with low self esteem

 

[Raider_69]

Boom tish. Raider, for someone with close to 50,000 posts, you'd think you'd occasionally come up with a good one by chance alone. The law of averages says if you post enough, eventually something will be amusing or intelligent. I guess the odds are just longer in your case.

good enough it seems to provoke a paragraph long response, rather then the usual one liners you throw out, so it must have been ok

 

[Captian_Klutz]

fk'n awesome game again.

Top markks to the players of both teams.

 

[Apey]

Bah we had to defend WAY too much in that game..

Oh well, very happy with the performance still.

 

[macavity]

Ben Cummins is the worst ref in the history of reffing

Let the Storm slow it down in the PTB and jump the gun in defence all game. 10-3 penalty count... :sarcasm:

Admittedly some crucial errors didn't help us.

Melb got there once we ran out of gas.... but that was not a 14 point game.

Sorry, was it too complicated? How about this?

lol, genius

 

[pantherz9103]

Melbourne are just too hard to beat at home it seems. I don't know how Cronulla managed to win down there. The Knights ran out of gas but most teams would've been thrashed. To lose by only 14 was a great effort under the circumstances, funny as that sounds.

 

[Mr Angry]

Geez I would so pick Mullen @ 7 for NSW.

Had doubts about his his frame of mind.

That boy is NSW future half.

 

[Jobdog]

I couldn't be prouder of the effort the boys put in. If anyone, after watching the game tonight that isn't a Knights fan doesn't give the Knights more respect than they otherwise would have, they're kidding themselves.

Ben Cummins is a disgraceful referee who has no idea about the rules.

Melbourne were the only team who would have beaten us after the way we played tonight. We're in this comp up to our eyeballs.

 

[Mr Angry]

Oh and if Turncoat gets a blue jersey, I will be filthy.

PS Hilder should start, and rotate the big backrowers.

 

[Misanthrope]

PS Hilder should start, and rotate the big backrowers.

Agree 100%. His strength is defence, so why not keep him on deck and let him do it? I'd rather someone with impact potential like Patterson or Houston come off the bench.

 

[Knight87]

yes, I will say that I did notice the Storm always rushing off the line, slowing down the play the balls and yet nothing was done about it.

The Sharks won the game because they had a ref who actually dealt with the issue above, and they blew them off the park in the first 20 mins.

 

[macavity]

turncoat?

 

[voltron]

im so happy with our effort
im a bit disappointed that it was a 14 point game
the 8 or 12 wouldve been more satisfying
ah well

but defense!!

 

[Bicey_18]

Very very proud of the effort tonight... to hang in there with the best team in the comp at their home ground is remarkable... Good signs ahead for Newcastle. Melbourne will know they have been in a fight thats for sure.

 

[Bicey_18]

Who do you support anyway Gaba?

Dragons...

 

[Jono078]

Happy with the effort, but can't help but be dissapointed to not get a win.

Also, I swear Inglis was offside for the first Folau try.

Not that it matters now, but whatever, well done Storm.

 

[girvie]

How many players will the Storm loose through Origin duty for next week?

It could be 11:

Qld - Slater, Folau, Inglis, Cronk?, Kaufusi?, Smith, Johnson, Crocker.
NSW - Quinn?, White, Hoffman.

 

[Serc]

Given that I won't remember you or this conversation after tomorrow, I don't much care whether it's egg, chocolate sauce, or the entire cast of a bukakke video on your face.

:lol:
