2016 Wk 3 Prelim - Storm 14-12 Raiders @ AAMI Park

[AlwaysGreen]

Lee i hope picks himself up over that. As someone said up thread he really lacks poise.

He dropped one against the sharks that would have taken us up to 18 nil against the sharks.

Got no hate for either of the sharks or the storm they got through us fair and square at the end of the day. Hope the gf is a cracker and the best team wins

Mate I don't know if lee is a long term first grader at our club. Injury prone, good in the air without being spectacular for his height, makes poor defensive reads and can't catch a cold

Matt Checcin gets the Storm to the grand final.

He tried hard to stop us.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Yep, Wighton should have rolled the dice that it would go dead. Was their only chance of winning.
Something he'll learn from Experience I guess.

The fact he didn't realise that he simply had to take the chance and let the ball go dead means he's dumb as dogshit.

What a plonker.

 

[T-Boon]

Canberra were beautiful at times. Melbourne were...clinical. They could have broke more neck. I am sure they will look at that through the week.

"Yeah these moments don't come around too often"

f**k off merkin

One in a "legal" team anyway

 

[Generalzod]

Did Blair really touch the ref?

 

[Puntoue]

If I were you, I would have preferred Raiders to win.

I would have preferred to verse the Raiders solely because I think it would have been a much for exciting game.

Plus there's been a rivalry brewing between the Sharks and Raiders for a few years now. For me it started back in the 2012 when Ferguson was playing for them. After his comments about leaving the club because he wanted to win a premiership, just about everyone in the shire hated his guts. When the side he was playing for knocked us out in 2012, I hated everything Raiders, plus the Gallen-Papalli thing only intensified it.

With the Sharks winning week one resulting in the Ennis Viking clap (plus the Sharks fans doing it last night) there's a bit of tension between the clubs. Would have been awesome to settle it on the grandest stage of them all.

Exactly

Some players play 2 hundred games & don't experience it.

So I'm in bed in a hotel room in Vegas

I'm only going by what's written in here
Lee f**ked up?
The ref is a cheat?
And Ricky is not of grand final coach standard?

It was a pretty even game. Good quality. Both raiders centres suffered injuries. Edrick lee bombed a few tries. Raiders a little dumb in the big game and the storm cool as a cucumber

Couple of dodgy calls especially one on Hodgson early on but nothing that has me furious.

Lee's been a turd all year.

Sisa Waqa is better then him IMO.

I'm with you the raiders constant late flops are a better way to slow the game down, allowing the flop will eradicate the wrestle from our great game

Yep.. Canberra fans whinging about the ref...

Never seen the likes of it...

 

[Knightmare]

Up, up Cronulla...

The other Lee had more upside imo, but he's gone to the dogs

 

[Seage]

Well league can f**k off now. I'm. Or watching another game where the storm just grub it up like merkins and get rewarded with a premiership.

Next week will be a carbon copy of the boring as f**k 2012 GF, culminating with one of sports true assholes being lauded as a hero at the end.

League is being slowly raped to death by he storm and the weak sauce officiating that has allowed their cancerous tactics to spread

You are wise. I'm not sure what more than 100% accurate is. But you're that.

It will be 14-6 next week and we all lose.

 

[Lebbo73]

Get behind the Sharkies, Rugby League.

I could never support that whinging drug cheating merkin Gallen!

 

[Spade]

Raiders aren't into the GF because Lee dropped two balls.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Did Blair really touch the ref?

If it was checcin it was foreplay

 

[STORM.99/07]

Everyone in Australia hopes it.

Not me
