[STORM.99/07]

Ref boss already admitted Storm doing nothing wrong, it will be a good game next week.

9/10 Archer spins it into a positive light hoping to get the heat off the referees. Rarely admits fault. The wrestling is a scum tactic; if the referees crack down on it and if the Cowboys don't let it get to them like it did the Roosters, then they'll storm home.

Time for JT to cement his place in the game. No better opportunity. Cowboys by 10.

Cows surely

 

[GongPanther]

The Cows will be far too big and mobile for the Storm to put their wrestling tactics on.

Storm players will be having nightmares during the morning of the game.And will be ringing their mommies at 3 in the morning,like it's the last time they'll ever hear her voice again.

The Cows showed on Saturday night that their timing is bang on.They've had an indifferent record coming into the finals,and to find form when it really-really counts,is what it's all about.

The weeks break for the Storm will find them gasping well before half-time.Combined with a rampaging Cows pack of forwards,and JT yet to really stamp his better form on these finals,can only lead to a Cows win by 14 points.And more likely a hiding as bloodthirsty as Saturday's match could be very well on the cards.

Yeh, if Scott, Tamou and JT3 play as they did on Saturday the Storm might find it difficult to wrestle them out of the contest. Tipping Granville will have a huge game.

What irks me is more the dirty tactics - elbows to the throat, knees to the head, and all the twists which will do an ACL. They don't even need to do it... That's why no one likes their tackling style. Watch it more closely and you will see it.

But you get the good with the bad and their offence is by far the most creative and when they get it right very slick.

I think Robbo has done the Cows a massive favour after week 1 final.
I expect Cameron to be spending plenty of time asking for explanations on penalties.

Lets put last nights game into perspective .... Cowboys only played the sharks.

This. I'm not sure what kind of preparation that was for the Cows. Storm in a close game.

Lets put last nights game into perspective .... Cowboys only played the sharks.

And played basic defence perfection the previous week, Storm were less than convincing against the Roosters.
If I had to describe their performance for that game, it would be opportunistic.

Let's not pretend Melbourne are unbeatable.

If Melbourne are allowed to wrestle the life out of the game like they have been for the last month they'll be hard to beat.
If the game is played and officiated correctly the Cows to win IMHO.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I think the Cows are a class above the Storm across the park.

It'll be close for a while but I expect the Cowboys to roll them in the final 25 minutes, setting up an epic GF against the Roosters.

 

[Rhyno]

Cows by 7

The game is officiated correctly. Storm and all other teams who have been 'wrestling' are doing so legally

 

[Vic Mackey]

Please let the Cowboys win. I don't think I could handle another storm snooze fest GF

 

[Sime_11]

Cows by 7 or Refs to screw Nth Qld over again lol

 

[2010Dragons]

Cowboys by 6

Agreed. Blow that whistle, ref.
