ffs at everyone trying to kick them while they are down.

All the people complaining are prob the same people who said them playing for nothing would mean they wouldn't care. Hope they win by 50 and the fans at the game keep coming back.

As a saints supporter I hate melbourne just as much as the next person, but I hope they go well for the rest of the season.

An illegally assembled team beating an honest, law abiding team. Real entertainment.
Can't help but feel sorry for all the teams that will lose to the storm this year.

Blame gallop & the same clubs that agreed with him today will start whingeing tomorrow.

The solution is simple

i just realised i wanted to watch the london marathon, not the warriors game.

i hadn't even realised i was watching a league game until i saw a storm player make a tackle.

tbh this is exactly how I would expect the side that was named to perform. Without Mannering, Vatuvei, Seymour and Price we basically just have a crap team.

Cleary's selections, even with limited resources, are geniused. Playing Hohaia in the halves and McKinnon at fullback is just demented and I can't believe how Clearly gets away with relatively little criticism for such a blunder. At least with Hohaia at fullback we would have a player somewhere in the backline who is decent and playing in the right position (yes, Tate is a good winger, but he's never going to be playing a significant role at right wing in this side). I look at this Warriors side on paper and frankly I don't expect them to be able to score points.

I thought the Storm were playing against the sharks there for a second.

Really terrible stuff. Ropati needs an uppercut.

Storm have nothing to lose, they're trying a whole bunch of sh*t and its mostly paying off. Warriors are just playing like a pack of downies.

What a giant bunch of bitter sooks that are in here.

I expect the Warriors have gone out there just expecting the refs to be on there side and for the Storm to roll over and let them win.

Even with the Storm not getting any points for the rest of the I am sure they can take some joy out of denying points to the teams they play.

FFS..The refs going to help the Storm get home.

So the refs are on Melbournes side are they. Where was the penalty for this the ball was not even in play yet and almost all the team is offside.

I am also waiting for the giant cry about illegal tactics with this tackle against Tolman. He was injured by it and if It had been the other way around I am sure there would be calls for heads to be rolled.

i agree. i'm a huge cleary fan, but frankly some of the sh*t he comes up with is indefensible.

we were really on a hiding to nothing given the position we ended up in, by no fault of our own....but holy sh*t, come on.

well it's great to see the Storm players entertaining their fans. They should be spreading the ball liek this for the rest of the season

He would probably play if it was for points but what is the use of possible complications on an injury for pride.
