Bah bah storm are wrestling

lol, wrestling doesnt give you 40points!

But… but… Vlandysball!!!

 

[Munky]

Anyone notice that when six again is called the Storm will fumble the ball and get a penalty?

 

[Apey]

I would LOVE to see the third party deals that are keeping Papan, Grant and B. Smith at Melbourne. Would legit love to see it.

You realise Harry Grants last deal was signed when he had played 2 first grade games yeah?

Melbourne were getting away with murder at the ruck. The look from Foran to the ref at the beginning of the match said it all, but unfortunately more needed to be said and DCE didn't say it. It's a sad state of affairs when you 4 best refs are judged to be G.Sutton, Atkins, Klein and Gee.

That said, Manly were abysmal and Melbourne were immense.

Morgan Harper. I've never quite got it. It doesn't help that he looks like Con the Fruiterer after a gastric bypass. I understand that he's been quite serviceable up to this point. But he was absolutely woeful. To me, his involvement (or lack thereof) in the final try (to Olam) summed it up. He wasn't even in the contest. Would have been better to hook him early and just put Walker in the centres. Foran and Aloiai were also poor. Taupau not much better. The Trbojevic brothers were a flop, although Jake defended pretty well. I though Walker and Paseka were Manly's best. But they're gone now. They might beat the Roosters (or the Titans), but they won't beat Penrith.

Storm were what you expected them to be. Clinical. Papenhuyzen, Munster and Grant amazing. Everyone else just did their job. With Smith and Addo Carr back, they'll be hard to stop.

I really thought Manly ( and Penrith ) were the best chance in the top 8 of overcoming Storm but it wasn't even close in the end.

When did we play them in the finals this year?

@Bazal @SLRBRONCOS I googled muscular power bottom. Jesus wept.

 

[Captain Apollo]

If Turbo wants a GF win, he has to have a say on who plays with him. Let him have some input.

How about he win a semi-final first eh? So far Turbo's finals record is 2 matches played for 2 losses.

Jesus wept. SLRBRONCOS came

 

[Saxon]

Just remember... Melbourne finished minor premiers purely on FOR AND AGAINST over PENRITH

Yeah...One Hundred and Nine points of for-and-against.

@Bazal @SLRBRONCOS I googled muscular power bottom. Jesus wept.

This would have sorted it all out for you without needing to google.


If I could describe Manly's performance last night it would be "Screaming bottom twink"

The Storm has been flavour of the month for the NRL for 20 years now, Just look other teams can't even get their salary cap under control and you have these guy's with all those players still under the cap, They have had the same foward pack since the 2016 Grand Final....
