2021 Preliminary Semifinal V Storm

[murraymob]

Crittas ball skills are unique thank to the time he spent in the GWS academy. After too many beer enjoying a bloody shiraz gin!!

Perhaps some of the GWS players should go to there own academy then they might actually win

if critta wasnt on the wing we wouldn't have scored that opening try.

One thing that stood out today was how well we did in the ruck. It felt like we really played to the amount of leniency being allowed in the wrestle, which we've historically struggled with, and the Storm have been masters at for longer than I can remember. We were on top physically which helped, but we used that advantage better than I think I've ever seen from us. Ivan deserves credit for this, but it's a feel thing so the players figuring it out on the fly deserve wraps too. To do so well in that aspect of the game against arguably the best team in history at it is very satisfying.

What?

i highly doubt stains would have scored. was inches from the sideline and crittas catching ability allowed him to place it perfectly.

Ben hunt catches that perfect kick. Critter had a great game but that was simple stuff

lets agree to dissagree

 

[Kilkenny]

The win today was just outstanding, gutsy, just full credit to Ivan and the entire playing staff and club. Not many gave us a chance, myself included, just an outstanding vicory.

 

[panther.mike]

HELL YEAH I luv it.

 

[GongPanther]

What?

Critta's height he is referring to...I think.

 

[GongPanther]

I have a strong feeling that it is our time. We've come too far to come up short, so in effect this is the 1st of 2 GFs. We get this, then only self doubt will beat us in the GF.

Couldn't help but bump this up...

 

[TheRiff]

Does anyone know or anyone heard what exactly tpj and fish did? They both looked quite bad.

both minor knee injuries

 

[TheRiff]

TPJ going after Welch got me that hard.

Yet that pillow Eisenhuth started over him against Souths

I just watched it again on my big telly. You are correct he had alot more room than I though.

 

[Vicpanther]

Nah on my small screen he looked like he had no room to work with. But I just rewatxhed it on the big TV after work and yeah had plenty.
What a kick though wonder if Nathan took offence to ref Smith calling his kicking game boring.

 

[Original Name]

Just goes to show how much of footy is more than some stats on paper. 52 missed tackles but who the hell cares if the team is resolved to scramble and do whatever it takes. If we have resolve that no matter what happens in the game we'll do whatever it takes we'll be in a good place to win the gf.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

I thought he was.
But B.Smith never was. He did his shoulder. Then they called it a HIA for a free interchange I assume.

Called it a HIA so if they got another injury they could activate the 18th man...

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Yeo is the best Panther forward since I've been old enough to evaluate.

Might need to evaluate my Rodney sig if we win next week.

Most important player to our team.

Yeo's good, but he is no Luke Swain..

The discussion between Smith and the trainer prior to leaving the field was funny the trainer was saying how’s your head and Smith kept pointing to his shoulder and trainer kept going through the pre HIA. Smith kept telling him its my shoulder.

It was overall a good tough game. I honestly feel this is Penriths time. It is their window. Not to say they won't continue to be strong but Capewell,TPJ and Burton all leave. Juniors will come in but they are big holes to fill.
