[MightyBronco]

Oh well..

Well done to storm, really good team there. Gunna be hard to beat.

Good job broncs, we've been good this year, but have always not quite been great. Need to be more creative near the try line, and score more points.

Still come finals who knows?

Hope Locky is OK

 

[Big Pete]

We held in there, but that mistake by Anderson really hurt us.

Congrats Storm fans, good performance.

 

[user_nat]

Far out. Not sure if we deserve to lose by 20.

Melbourne lifted a gear for the last 20mins.

 

[Big Pete]

That was probably the best second half any team has produced all season.

Still enough time left in the season for the Broncos to learn, but they were comprehensively beaten out here tonight.

 

[Shorty]

Storm, just insane....nobody is beating them.

 

[some11]

Good game, see you again in the finals.

 

[Pigskin]

yeah, dusted ... oh well

we still in foreplay mode for anther few weeks then the comp starts and injuries matter

saw nothing to fear, just a well drilled side

well done Melbourne, gonna be very hard to beat

Oink !

 

[Pigskin]

Hodges is still on one leg, has about another 4 weeks before needs to start finding it

Would help a lot

Oink !

 

[Tom155]

storm by 14

so close to getting it right, that last try ruined my prediction

 

[Light Reflections]

Far out. Not sure if we deserve to lose by 20.

Probably not but yeah, the Storm were pretty insane, well done to them. They do get away with a bit in the ruck though.

 

[HowHigh]

Thankfully I watched this game instead of the Eels Bulldogs.
Storm were very solid, definately a threat to the Dragons going back to back.
Overall great game..scoreline didn't really reflect how close it was for the first 70.

 

[Billythekid]

Storm, just insane....nobody is beating them.

I'll reserve judgement until we face the dragons who have looked on another level to the likes of the broncos this year.

 

[user_nat]

Will be interesting if Melbourne can keep their current form going into R24. Will be a great game if they do.

 

[bomberman]

Good game, entertaining. Great to see 22k people at the game in Melbourne.

Anyone watching the replay on channel 9? Why does the game sound like it's being broadcasted from the bottom of the tasman sea

 

[The.X.Factor9]

WOW... Melbourne are just far too good.

Didn't you know that?
That's why Brisbane attacks in slow motion. The game is actually under water.

 

[AuDragon]

Don't think the 20 points difference reflects the difference between the teams on the night, but congratulations to the Storm, who schooled us in finals footy with awesome defense in the first half and taking advantage of Broncos errors in the second half.

Hopefully, the Broncos attacking punch will improve in the coming weeks, towards a strong finals form.

Great game to watch, refs were okay although that penalty that gave the Storm the lead was cheap at the very least.

 

[kia ora storm]

Wow...some gracious comments from the Broncs fans for this Storm win...more than we would get from other fans. Cheers guys.

Storm were very structured tonight and played a controlled game. Smith's darts out of the play the ball caused all sorts of problems for the Broncs and they often followed this with Slater kicking short behind the line in place of Smith. This has not really happened before and adds a further dimension to the normal play of Cronk kicking.

It was pleasing to see Jessie Bromwich match it with Hannant and co..he has strong potential and is a future leader IMO.

Maurice Blair had a great game..hit the line hard and has added strength in attack to his game.

My one concern is that Storm are peaking too early for the finals and needs to keep it consistent to go far in September.

 

[11Straight]

Storm were extremely impressive tonight a definate threat.

Can't wait till the rd 24 encounter will be a cracker for sure.
