[Dutchy]

Radio commentators reckon Newcastle are getting the rough end by the refs..

 

[RugbyHighlights]

Clearly forward.

Passed it before the line, Uate caught it after the line.

^^^ Needs to take a physics class.

 

[Jono078]

f**king Finch.

Had to be him who wins them the game :x

 

[Joker's Wild]

Game over

Well done Storm. Their goaline defence was superb under relentless pressure.

f**k it

 

[Dutchy]

Finch MoM?

 

[Psylence]

WOOooo for the last penalty goal. Had $150 Storm -4

 

[kia ora storm]

f**king Finch.

Get over it...played well and gutsed it out.

 

[Captian_Klutz]

These are the best wins. Under fire from fired up players and against whistle happy refs.

Storm are the best and most committed team I've ever seen.

 

[broncos_warriors_storm]

this is why we are the best team in the world

the refs were shocking tonight

 

[kia ora storm]

IMO the refs were not shocking...the Knights were committed and Storm got out of jail.

jealousy is a curse mate.

yeah well from what i saw we had alot of dud calls agaisnt us, and newcastle had a few. in the end we defended better, i wont lose any sleep but they just were off

Well done Storm on a close fought win with little possesion.

The difference between the sides tonight probabaly came down to how clinical the Storm were with their few chances, and how the Knights were the complete polar opposite with plenty of ball in good position in the second half.

Never really noticed it before, but GI's defensive positioning and reads seem pretty bad. He locked onto decoy runners several times tonight, leaving Quinn on an island, and directly leading to two Newcastle tries.

Lots of things to like from a Newcastle point of view, shame not to get the points, but if the level of intensity from our first two games can be sustained, we'll have a cracker of a season. Fair amount of 'if' in that though considering it's March

 

[MC DUI]

Congrats to the Storm, defended really well and deserved to win with the crap we dished up as attack on your line.

Can't believe we just kept one out hitting up forwards on your line instead of going to the edges a few times....

Anybody got a halfback for sale?

Agree...GI used to do the same to Chambers last year and Chambers would take the rap for it.

Not good enough really...

 

[Joker's Wild]

Which team? Broncos, Warriors or Storm? :sarcasm:

 

[Apey]

f**k, had all that possession and still couldn't score. Should have won that game... oh well.

 

[pnub]

As super human as GI can be at times it would have been a massive effort on his behalf to leave Chambers stranded in defence as Chambers spent last year playing Centre on the opposite side of the field.

Yes GI can make some bad reads at times but then again so does Quinn. Its something they will both have to work on and i believe Bellyache told Quinn to hang back as well at half time according to foxsports.

 

[steaming stormer]

Gutsy win based around our goalline defence. Brett Finch was huge for us all game I thought.
Inglis was woeful... and Adam Blair, that was a grub shot and I expect he'll cop a couple of weeks depending on carry over points

 

[stormbati]

Finch has been in pretty solid form since the back end of last year. I really liked the way we hung in there in defense, as soon as we got a chance, we took it. That was the game, that really hurt the knights.
Newcastle are a pretty good side and were unlucky at times.
