2019 R6 Fri - Storm 20-21* Roosters @ AAMI

[Big Pete]

Both sets of fans should hold their heads up high after that game, what a belter. As good as some of the passages were with the football, it was the defence I enjoyed. None of this 'controlled' defence that's become so common placed, just some old fashioned big hits, the stuff that was all the rage 15 years ago.

Another amazing career highlight for Latrell. He's just one of those players as a neutral fan you want to see with the football because you know he's capable of something 99% of the competition isn't able to produce. He's a wonderful advertisement and Robinson has him playing fantastic footy.

3 seasons in a row there has been GP between the Storm and The Roosters.

 

[Haffa]

I’d rather neither win it. It’s like Man City and Chelsea’s dominance of EPL, artificial.

Didn’t Chelsea finish above your club before the money arrived? Hard working Penrith never took a dime from their working class fans pockets via the pokies.

Just has to get that little bit of grubiness out of his game which I think he will, that would be the only thing that would stop him from becoming one of the greats.

From what I've seen neither outfit will be troubling the mighty green machine at the pointy end of this season.

Its like Big Mal is back but he is known now as Simple Jack...

 

[horrie hastings]

Well put it in the fking wine thread! I'm sick of talking to myself.

Just going to have a port as I have big day tomorrow. Will raid the red collection if I have roast lamb on Sunday.

 

[Pedge1971]

Awesome game haven’t felt the heart pumping since GF day.
Really had 2 or 3 chances and blew it and Croft isn’t quite there yet so good win Roosters still the team to beat.

Lost it in the first 20 tbf mate.

We don't have dimes here in Australia, and I doubt they'd fit their machines, but they haven't got a cent from me since their club was on Station Street.

 

[GongPanther]

Geez I hate GP but f*ck im happy after that.

Games like this underline the main point why there shouldn't be GP. In all fairness, the Storm deserved, well....in fact, both sides deserved something from that epic battle.

And I'm sure both teams would have like to come away with 1 competition point. Just ask the Storm. It might make all the difference.

 

[GongPanther]

Suck shit purple cheats. Not even the refs could get you up.

I was watching the whole game with the mute on. It's really surprising how worse refereeing blunders look without any sound.

 

[GongPanther]

Latrell is one of the smug, arrogant pricks who you just can't say a word to because he's as good as he thinks he is.

And he is NOT the next GI as some have idiotically quipped in the media, he is Latrell Mitchell.

And he doesn’t drink drive or beat up women. The qualities that make you a great at Souths.

 

[GongPanther]

I’m not interested in following NRL properly anymore if these lot win back to back, booo. I’ll just watch a few highlights packages and that’ll do me. They are the same as Man City or Chelsea in EPL, only good because they’re rich.

Nope. The NRL does not allow this to happen. It's the very reason why we have a salary cap you know.

A fantastic career ahead of him.

Give him time, he may end up in one of those putrid myrtle and burgundy jerseys one day if everything goes wrong.

Easts should throw him our way. We get nothing coming our way after the brilliant talent we have given them. Come to think of it, that salary cap is soon to start bulge a bit at Easts.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Scintillating game. Smith f**ked it by passing to the rookie close to the line. They should have won. Anyway now would be a great time to play either of these teams as they belted the shit out of each other

 

[footy75]

These 2 teams always provide an epic contest. Great stuff.

 

[Generalzod]

I enjoyed the game but please it wasn’t an epic game...

 

[lazza]

is it just me or do storm players all seem to know how to inflict as much pain as possible within a “legal” one motion tackle?

And that hot from smith on radley should have been a penalty. No idea why you need to give general warnings for third man in - why don’t they give warnings for first knock ons, first offside as well? It’s in the rule book!
