2018 QF2 Fri - Storm 29-28 Rabbitohs @ AAMI

[Canard]

Slater's last game in Melbourne playing for a GF, if the NRL don't f**k up the scheduling they should get a sell out crowd

The wrestle was there but Souths benefited just just as much from it. The six meter 10 definitely took Cook out of the game. But Souths had enough chances. They just didn't get it. Going forward though, this 'put the whistle away' bullshit is a joke. It's OK for Origin maybe but long term it's just going to piss people off.

I still can't fathom what I just witnessed. We just lost an NRL final due to tired misses late in each half, and we left TWO players unused on the bench. Beyond idiotic.

Siebold still on Melbourne's payroll. Warren Ryan approved.

Put it tomorrow or Sunday and you’ll get 25k. Why the NRL HQ think they can compete with AFL in Melbourne is beyond me.

Also given that finals tickets can be pricey I’m guessing a few hold off for the inevitable second final, regardless of whether it’s in week 2 or 3.

Swap the performance of Melbourne and Newcastle over the past 15 years and we are building a 40k stadium in Broadmeadow to fit them all in.

Hope the purple scum get a run of spoons to prove their mettle.

Shittest. Fans. Ever.

If West Coke win tomorrow, only one AwFuL prelim in Mel.

All that News Limited money and still can't sellout a final in a city of 5 million.

Lets all head over to Ben Cousins joint for some home 'cooking'!

RL crowds in RL heartland are better than RL crowds in AFL heartland, quick, call the papers with this breaking news...

While I hope you're right I disagree. All the points were well earned. The defense was outstanding just some great execution by both sides. That's how you win.

while there was some excellent defence tonight, there was more than a fair share of shit defence as well.
It was an exciting game with some absolute classic tries and great hits (mainly in the first half) but it was not overall a great defensive game

Why no professor yet?

Please stop these reconstituted sacks of meat representing ex-footballers drooling on the desk.

Vonny very happy with Cam's incisive hole punching tonight.

Souths don't have enough size and experience on their flanks to stop the really bigger opposition players out wide. Teams like Easts,Brisbane and the Sharks will absorb what the Storm will throw at them.

Yeah that would be the case, you know why? Because you’re a rugby league town. We aren’t. Honestly? It’s that simple.

Lol at derpy Parker talking about Melbournes "dominance for over a decade." Um, nah...

 

[Spot On]

Going forward though, this 'put the whistle away' bullshit is a joke. It's OK for Origin maybe but long term it's just going to piss people off.

And yet there was a thread earlier in the season with some whining about the exact opposite.

Lol at derpy Parker talking about Melbournes "dominance for over a decade." Um, nah...

The fact he has the temerity to complain about his final contract after being gifted a spot on a panel where he spends most of his time literally dragging his knuckles across the table and slipping over his own spittle is quite irking.

 

[ram raid]

Interesting, but I don't that that it means much. It's only certain tackles that are relevant. There's no need to slow down every tackle. With the short 10 Storm probably didn't need to dominate every tackle.

 

[GongPanther]

Pick the score $2,400.

Respect the dominance

 

[beave]

The week off is huge considering there was only 1 bye this season too.

*Cough* rep round *cough*
