If Smith and Brandy are backing the Dragons for being rorted, something is very f**ked with the officiating.

 

[Nugget10]

There is no way that Melbourne should win a penalty count ever!

 

[no name]

Why did Rein kick it?
Give it to Benji or Widdop you dope.

 

[Twatface Magee]

Benji going to have one of his typical 'playing for a contract' seasons.

 

[typicalfan]

Dragons have looked fitter than the Storm in the back end.

 

[mackdadday]

Well Widdops missed penalty proves the difference in the end..and about 6 inexplicable calls against the Saints by the ref.

 

[Rhyno]

Dugan looks fat

 

[aussie7798]

some truly baffling calls from the refs against the dragons especially in the 2nd half

 

[LatK7]

Some decisions there were atrocious.

 

[blacklock]

Another classic widdop game. Most useless human being I've seen.

 

[Jason Maher]

We're just not meant to ever win a game in Melbourne.

Not when we have the Trojan horse they sent our way in widdop. There's a reason they didn't keep him. You just saw it. Welcome to 2016 saints footy

Congrats Melbourne you just held onto the ball better than us.

I thought that was a pretty good game and although a few decisions went against us, we still gave ourselves enough opportunities to win the game, but execution just wasn't there when we needed it.

I'm so happy the footy is back and I'm so glad to be cheering on the boys. We almost achieved something amazing and it's only round 1.

A lot to like about both sides.

 

[roostersrule2]

The Storm era is in its twilight. Their great players simply cannot be great enough often enough anymore.

I just put everything I own on a Storm Grand Final win.

 

[Slackboy72]

Bunniesgimp did us in.

 

[Hutty1986]

Geez it would be good to get something resembling a fair go in Melbourne.

Some decent signs but we're still such a dumb football side.

 

[user_nat]

Neither side was hugely convincing, particularly in the second half.. Which seems like a bit of a trend this round.
Although they got the rub of the green, I still feel Melbourne were the better side.

I agree. Sides won't be 80 mins match fit at this part of the season but the Storm were 2 or 3 less errors better than us. I thought it was a decent quality game.

doesn't seem like 16 seasons ago.
:lol:

Beautiful to watch though. ;-)

No. Jason Ryles did.
