[Differ To The Coifed]

On Sunday night Souths get their bye points with a +122 vs dragons +115.

Souths top without playing.

Probably should have an asterix next to it with all the players missing. It's the only logical explanation of more than 80 points being scored.

Souths were my favs for the premiership anyway.

The team and coach IMO will just meh this game off. They can absorb a loss like this given their for and against. They will be resuming normal service after SOO.

 

[blaza88z]

Of course they are, they've won 8 in a row. But what happens when they lose a couple, which they will. You can see the answer to that in the Panthers.

Way to make a question that had nothing to do with Penrith, all about Penrith, quite impressive

Ha didn't realise Souths had the bye.

Ha didn't realise Souths had the bye.

This is the last week for byes. Then we can look at the table properly.

Byes are so stupid.

I had a little lol@dragons with the late tries but to be honest I think it's ridiculous that teams have to be depleted for an origin game, especially when the series has already been won and lost. No other sport weakens it's main competition for the sake of a 3 game series like rugby league does.

Always use the fox sports ladder, so dumb the nrl.com one doesn't factor in byes until the round is over.

 

[moffla]

I can’t remember either side defending a set on their try line without conceding?

Either way what a cracking game to attend.

 

[Maroon4life]

Great game to watch, loved the result.

Drongo fans never do this, hey.

Now the deflect, beautiful to watch

 

[LESStar58]

Well he is in the right place to audition.

My apologies. It was Dufty.

In fairness they have the same stupid haircut

 

[This Year?]

Congratulations Storm.

Absolutely shattered over the result. Only we could f**k up the best opportunity to get a win in Melbourne for the 1st time since 1999. To have 50 put on us by a side missing 9 regular 1st graders is f**king disgraceful. Nicholls' NRL career will be one of the shortest in history and our so called coach and leadership group should be ashamed of themselves.

We will fall apart from here.

 

[azza29]

Absolute cracker tonight, and a very even contest for 65 minutes. For a team that supposedly “haven’t clicked” this year Melbourne are doing OK.

 

[Jason Maher]

Thank f**k my brain kept telling me it was Wednesday so I missed this one.

 

[butchmcdick]

Cheyse Blair smacked him in the face running past him

Cheers

I couldn’t for the life of me work out why the hit after the try

 

[ed-grimley]

Oh dear.
The second string Storm players were better than their Saints counterparts.
Defence was certainly a priority.

 

[BranVan3000]

Wow what a score line. Seems like the score doesn’t reflect the closeness of the match

Thanks for putting us in first spot Storm

I love the chance to see some of the developing players a little early. Also, it's hilarious when some teams have fans complaining about missing players.

Boo hoo. You've been dominant with these players and you'll have them back well before the semis. Poor dears. Don't want your players getting accolades and big extra match payments? Tell them to stop performing so well.

 

[STORM.99/07]

You'd be saying the complete opposite had you have been beaten

origin time is a good time to give the young players some experience. They did good.
