09 :: R23 Mon :: Knights 26 Storm 14 @ EnergyAustralia

the worst we have defended....ever. Slater is having one of his annual f**k up games. Having the same problems all year...poor discipline, poor handling...poor decisions made by coach. The halves arent getting anything going in attack...Finch looks more dangerous then Cronk. awful. pathetic.

I keep telling people , Bellamy never has plans , he always been relying on the skill of the players to do the plans as they are playing.Its the players wha thave to come up witht the game plans and also play the game its always going to take alot out of the players when the coach doesnt give them game plans

$8 for Storm at half time? Tempting.

Storm have just been unlucky imo against a red hot team. 2 bombed tries - Slater knocks on in goal, and Tolman murders another.

 

[kia ora storm]

Meh...this is horrible. Thay are getting killed out wide but they have been unlucky on attack.

Slater is having a shocker...Neilsen and Anderson have nothing.

A disappointing performance which sums up the season.

 

[Gaba]

If the storm win, and bellamy will get the credit, when he does sh*t its the players who do the plans and work.

I think its more so the players not able to pull the plans off. My gripe is with bellyache picking absolute nuffies week in week out. Scott/brett Anderson are sh*t. Chambers isnt going terrible tonight but his defence is so bad its not funny. *sigh*

The knights have played Melbourne well. Kept the ball away from Slater by kicking the ball dead as much as possible.

 

[Noa]

Big offseason coming up for Bellamy. Really needs to loosen up in his coaching philosophy and give the players more freedom (but Cronk less).

 

[StinkyPete]

why couldn't have stayed with knights for the rest of season and kept them depressed.

 

[nathanbrown'sghost]

Melbourne want Newcastle to score again.

 

[Eelectrica]

Melbourne resuming where they left off.
Knights hit 20 with a penalty.

Do ya think Parra and Cowboy fans could start a petition for Newcastle to bring back Smith?

 

[Covellius Maximus]

This re-inforces what I already know. The Storm are finished as an NRL force.

 

[user_nat]

Melbourne missing GI?

 

[Carnifex]

for f**k sake. this is getting embarrassing . hang your heads in shame boys.

 

[Carnifex]

Melbourne missing GI?

No. We have played like this all year. Too many nuff nuffs in the team combined with lazy players with no heart for the jersery.

 

[Eelectrica]

Knights in again. Don't think GI is worth that many points.
Knights in party mode. Board vindicated in there decision to piss Smith off

 

[nathanbrown'sghost]

I thought the knights might come out gee'd up but this could be the upset of the round, especially if the score continues to blow out.

I expected this result, i posted this in another thread but I will post it here

The reason I believe Melbourne will struggle is the exact reason Manly struggled at the start of the season after the Bret Stewart incident, many of the players came out and said the way Stewart was critized by the media hurt their performances on field, though we will see after tonight how the Storm deal with it.

Sorry...don't agree. Storm do not have backs that have any ability tonight. Simple as that.
