'11 | R1 | Sat | Storm 18-6 Sea Eagles | AAMI

[Butters]

Manly aren't that bad a side but I expect an absoutely red hot Melbourne looking for revenge. I'm glad my team isn't up against them round 1. First flogging of the year coming up.

Finally someone with some common sense! Melbourne will be brutal.

Melbourne 38-4

 

[eagles4eva]

Eagles by 10....

 

[eagles4eva]

taking penalty goals, good defence from both teams

 

[eagles4eva]

Storm try...

Melbourne jersey looks somewhat odd without a sponsor at the back. Should put the player names there.

 

[eagles4eva]

Robbo in, kick to come..

 

[eagles4eva]

6-6 half-time

 

[aussies1st]

Something has to give here.

Chase Stanley spins over the line.

Poor effort by T Williams..

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Whats the crowd figure like in this game yo

 

[user_nat]

Fantastic cover defense by Melbourne after a Stewart break.

Bombed by Robinson imo.

Not sure about the crowd, looks ok. Less than 20k would be my guess.

 

[Spuddicus]

Not the first time that cat King has lifted his knees into opposition players

 

[user_nat]

Video ref no try to Melbourne. Nelson (I think) knocks the ball forward and Widdop scores.

Still 12 - 6.

No try to Melbourne. Stanley went in, but Slater obstructed.


There goes my stream.. will have to go watch the boring Titans and Dragons on tele now. lol

 

[eagles4eva]

Storm in 16- 6

 

[aussies1st]

Storm starting to play more expansive.

Just got back from the game...really scrappy from both teams IMO.

Thompson, Manu and Lowrie had strong games as did Duffie.

Ballin going off for Manly gave them no structure in attack and this was the deciding factor IMO.

A good first up win for Storm but a lot of work to do before next week and the Titans..the back looked static at times and Proctor had no one running off him.

To me it seemed like Proctor was hogging the ball a little to much at times. Few opportunities to set the centre up for a run.
