well, disappointed after the match, but in retrospect it was only a couple of question mark decisions from the refs, our halves and melbournes fantastic goal-line defence that cost us the match. we had the storm dominated for long periods, but couldn't land the killer blow... with 2 tries disallowed in the process.
as for butters - i don't know what you're talking about, mate... our forwards went well aside from simpsons rare case of the dropsies, it was our lack of organisation in melbournes red zone that cost us dearly. clearly you judge a game of football on the scoreboard, and not on the events on the fields.
the storm got out of jail at energy australia stadium on saturday night, make no mistake about it. the truly great teams do that. full credit to coach bellamy for having such a tightly configured machine.
as for the knights - i'm still nothing but excited about the prospect of this year. we've got our best player and our biggest strike centre to come back from injury and we're still looking really good on the field for the most part. we lacked the attacking options to get us over the line against the storm... but that sort of play and possession against most teams will win you a footy match. we are desperately lacking a good halfback and should probably think about using houston/wicks money to send an SOS out to whoever is out there that can still lace on a boot and kick a ball.
