Stick a fork in the Bullsogs

Good god this Dogs defence is atrocious

 

[Barkley]

Storm should have scored there also

 

[skeepe]

4 bombs by the Storm, zero catches by the Dogs

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Lol just kick to the Mormon all day, he's talking to God

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Storm bombed that.

Dogs look completely uninterested in catching bombs.

6pm time slot is going to be awful for crowds

It's going to get much worse as the year progresses, especially at grounds such as Brookvale and Penrith which are very isolated and far to get to from the CBD via public transportation. Even though it's near the CBD, Allianz is also going to be a problem attracting 10k+ at 6pm, with the traffic congestions on Anzac Parade during the week in the afternoon due to the light-rail construction. Only the real die-hard NRL fans who don't have work on that day will be in attendance.

I hope it's scrapped at the end of year and replaced with Sunday 6/6:30pm. Atmosphere at Belmore looks and sounds completely dead. Would be surprised if there's any more than 6-7k max.

Bromwich off. Dogs get some relief.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Bromwich is gorrrn

 

[skeepe]

That was dumb by Jackson

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Umm how's Reynolds pulling the player off the ball

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Umm how's Reynolds pulling the player off the ball

And the Dogs get the penalty

 

[Barkley]

It's a shame about Bromwich...I was looking forward to his battle with our forwards.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Broken thumb for Bromwich, that's not what the Storm wanted

 

[Meth]

Why is this game on so early?

 

[Walt Flanigan]

So forward

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Touchies are as blind as usual

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Really missing the Lee boys so far

 

[Barkley]

Good hands Edric

Broken thumb for Bromwich, that's not what the Storm wanted

Their forwards are dropping like flies.
