2019 R3 Sat - Panthers 2-32 Storm @ Bathurst

[VictoryFC]

Looks like another Storm v Roosters GF this year. They are levels above everyone else.

Need to name and shame the experts that picked Storm sub-4th

 

[Saxon]

I mean, whatever, ppl can take shots at Cleary, deservedly or not, but when your fb is gifting momentum to opposition as often as he did in the 2nd half, cant do much about that apart from telling the merkin to stop being a shit car nt.

Everyone has a bad day occasionally. A decent coach would have shifted the backline around to take some pressure off Edwards.

Edwards had a horror night.

But before tonight he has shown that he is of NRL quality. The kid will bounce back.

 

[TIGER14]

Thank God we dodged the I.Cleary/N.Cleary bullet.

Cheers Gus!

 

[The Rosco]

Remind me again of why Gus punted Ivan first time around ? was it for "looking tired" ?
In the first 2 rounds of 2018, Ivan bolstered our defence and we ground out 2 unexpected wins against the Roosters and Storm. That was, like, March 2018. Then, crickets.
That was the last good piece of football coaching Ivan has pulled off.
Anyway, I'm going for a good long soak in the tub. I've been cheering Melbourne all night, and I feel dirty.

Or they might continue playing them because they believe in them. But anyway, that knock on from Munster's kick, how do you take the pressure off that? The ball literally stopped dead, he had acres of free space, picked it up and fumbled. It's an error stemming from lack of concentration. There's only so much a coach can do. I'm not saying he lost them the game on his own, or that he'll be shit in every game he plays from here on, but bad mistakes in crucial moments is a killer. When Croft picked it up and went over, you basically knew it was over.

Sorry t-ba, it has to be a place name. Like the "Parramatta panty liners" or the "Manly minge maxers" Heres a better one..the "Cronulla Shark Week Wings".

Na it's on the Korean and Japanese Company team model.

Finished 11th that year but were last in offense. Tigers attack was woeful last year as well. If it doesn't work out Gus can always send out some feelers for Loz as coach, I hear he loves the Riff.

Storm by 30

Panthers have some outs, but both they and their coach had the Storm's number last year so you never know.

I'd like some soliloquies to describe this please:

It is of great comfort to me that these are the two best sides in March.

We are nowhere close to our best at the moment

 

[thorson1987]

We are nowhere close to our best at the moment

And neither are we.

 

[Valheru]

And neither are we.

Exactly

He is hoping one or both have peaked in March and will fall away.

He will be disappointed.

He's mistaking them for St Merge.

 

[The Rosco]

And neither are we.

And Penrith are just nowhere.

A try in 115 minutes. Don't forget that penalty conversion. That glorious 2 points that gave us the lead last night.

It will take a lot to beat that marvellous run in 2012 where there was nearly four whole halves (including 2 shut outs) where we failed to score a single point.

Merely a coincidence that it was Cleary's first season the first time around.
