2019 R4 Sun - Storm 18-16 Bulldogs @ AAMI

[King hit]

Very impressive first half by the Dogs.

 

[Xcalibre]

Huge turnaround in Bulldogs form from the first 2 rounds to the last. Particularly in defence. 76 points conceded in round 1 & 2 and only 14 since.

 

[_snafu_]

Should have got a penalty there for that time wasting push when he was getting up to play the ball.

storm did everything possible to hold him!!

Seems like it’s ok for the Storm to do it and penalise the other teams.

 

[Xcalibre]

Dogs really playing so good footy, scoreboard doesn’t show how much better they have been.

Still lacking that class to take advantage of momentum but the Storm are good at hanging on by a thread. They’re lucky to be down by only 6 after a very harsh penalty try.

 

[Grapple]

Expect Storm to close up their right side and for us to get worn out with Napa and possibly Corey now.
Must be said though, Croft and Hughes look very ordinary players out there. Don't add much at all.

Cam still needs 7 points.

4 gifted penalty goals right in front?

 

[Xcalibre]

Just thinking about that penalty try. There has to be a more than likelihood of scoring the try. Chambers had to catch it and put it down. It was far from the standard tbh. He could’ve easily been pushed/tackled over the dead ball line too.

 

[TheFrog]

Tough one. Seemed like the right play to prevent the try yet he gives up a penalty try. Dunno how I feel.

I thought it was crystal clear. The defender is behind the attacker following a kick. The defender can't interfere with the attacker without the ball. He'd have been better off waiting to see if he muffed it because it was always going to be a penalty try.

The oracle Blocker reckoned he’d break the record before halftime.

If the ref believes a try would have been scored but for the illegal play, it is a penalty try. Cummins so thought and so did the bunker.

When he ran it on the last it was almost like he expected them to allow him to stroll through for a try

 

[Wild Wilbur]

Cameron Smith = f**king grub

 

[WaznTheGreat]

This game is a conspiracy theory,i am woke

Interesting take Wilbur, let's hear more.

Blocker would have struggled to work out how many conversions he would need to break it before the game started

This will like last week's Souths/Titans game, Canterbury will barely get a call in the 2nd half on the basis that they are the heavy underdogs and are not expected to win

If he doesn't get it this game he'll get it next week. In Townsville.

Sad, but true.

 

[Generalzod]

There is no person less worthy to receive the accolade of the most points scored than Cameron Smith..

And they will have to face up to pam if they script doesn't happen
