2020 GF | PREMIERS - Storm 26-20 Panthers @ ANZ

[t-ba]

Gus should never commentate again.

Imagine being new to this game and listening to this merkin. You'd be convinced this sport was worse than the Khmer Rouge.

 

[Perth Red]

Well done storm. 5 months away from home, plenty of injuries during the year, refs taking us down to eleven men. Awsome effort lads, very proud of the club. Up the Storm.

Really wished Smith had said “this is for your Victoria, f**k you Vlandys! “

I think Ivan made a massive mistake dropping Nadan out of the side.

I never bought the whole narrative that he was a liability. Plenty of centres let in tries. You don’t change a winning team over a handful of lapses.

Nadan was marking the attacking powerhouse in Brenko Lee.

The worst part is that the Storm were not even that great. They did what had to be done but we were our own worst enemy.

If Penrith turned up to play, they win. Instead we were left wanting.

The penalty try is a try every day of the week.

Mansour’s no try was debatable. Both Lee and Vunivalu committed to Crichton.

Kikau passing back into Kaufusi needed to be challenged. You’re down 16-0. Take a chance. Instead we let Leota piss that one away.

The leg pull penalty was trash.

The ten meter for both sides was non existent
Ruck was terribly slow.
Cams forward passes kill me.

It’s a game of what ifs and what could have been.

That about sums it up.

The Panthers first half was indescribably miserable. No smug at all.

It was bronco-esque

Gus should never commentate again.

He was absolutely disgusting with his partisan call.
He sabotages the game and I bet he will continue to do so in the following week.

You've got this fat Greek slob living rent free in your head.

You really need to get that checked up. Do they have brain scanning machines in Perth Yet?

It’s kinda like that in Victoria when Storm play in a big game. Naturally you get some interested armchair supporters tuning in, they get absolutely perplexed by him

 

[dogz08]

ricky leutele has won another grand final..

 

[TheVelourFog]

Under the Salary cap, there should not be shit teams.

Except Souths. That’s always funny.

yeah you dont understand what the salary cap is for

 

[stryker]

Freddy says he made his final decision on origin places based upon tonight...Luai was trash and he has been all finals series. Well done to him.

 

[dogz08]

not really even pumped for origin this year tbh

 

[undertaker]

Since the NRL commenced in 1998, Melbourne or the Sydney Roosters have featured in 17 of the 23 NRL Grand Finals.

I should also add

Since the NRL commenced in 1998, Melbourne or the Sydney Roosters have featured in the Preliminary Finals in 21 of the 23 NRL Seasons (2001/2005 were the only two seasons where they didn't).

 

[dogslife]

Shockingly, it turns out I got this one wrong.

Jesus didn't turn water into wine on his first attempt. You got dis brah!

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I hope Vonny does the cricket this year.

Legend has it Cam is still in front of the microphone giving his speech

 

[Loose Cannon]

yeah you dont understand what the salary cap is for

Okay, you got me.

 

[Tommy Smith]

On paper this Storm side are not premiers material.
Cap has nothing to do with it.

I disagree.

This Storm GF team had a lethal spine, 3 quality outside backs, a brutal forward pack, plus two absolute weapons and a NSW forward on the bench.

That's a very worthy Premiership team. I know Penrith won 17 in a row but what game's did the Storm lose after the early losses to the Raiders & Penrith?

Away defeats to the Eels and Dragons with about 13 players missing in each game from memory. That's it.

What a team, coach and organisation. Respect.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

The season ends not with a roar but a cough. How apt

He was still going when I left to get dinner.

In other news how good is a chicken kebab with the lot and garlic sauce?

 

[Munky]

That about sums it up.

The Panthers first half was indescribably miserable. No smug at all.

It was bronco-esque

The first half it just seemed like shit luck, if Crichton steps in to stop the obstruction, the 'knock on' call.

The twenty five minutes after half time were apalling. Penrith were up in the stats (bar score board) at 16 nil down.

They weren't being blown off the park at all, instead they tried to score off every play in the wet.

So f**king dumb.

So you think they are rorting the cap?
We're talking Storm not Roosters
