2021 R20 Sun - Melbourne 37-10 Penrith @ Suncorp

[SLRBRONCOS]

Braith just went to say "exercation"

 

[stryker]

but not all teams are treated equally…

Meh maybe. I don’t really think so though.

 

[roofromoz]

This feels like the 2020 grand final.

So Papz to score off the scrum early in the second half?

 

[yobbo84]

Burton has stepped up but is Luai playing?

 

[This Year?]

Flanno thinks the Panthers are still in it.
Fire it up.

Tries come through Kikau-Burton-Naden, a temporary situation. Naden shouldn’t even be there, it’s like Cleary wanted to prove a point to the mongs who said he should have started the GF.

Throw in f**king stupid plays by Martin and first grade passenger Staines and eh.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

The nuffies he turns into decent outside backs boggles my mind

Xavier Coates is going to go from defending like Xavier Coates at the Broncos to Brett Morris

 

[stryker]

I reckon Bellamy and the Melbourne system would have turned Quentin (RIP) into a solid first grader given the opportunity

The dude in the wheelchair? the new Cooper Cronk

We're out in straight sets.

Coates already shows glimpses of being solid, so I only imagine Bellamy turning him into something special.

 

[roofromoz]

Who's this Harvey Norman brand ambassador? Ari... who?

It's a really good move for Coates.

Have Kevvie's coaching further regress your career or have Bellamy turn you into one of the top wingers in the comp and get JAC money next contract.

We are fine at full strength.

Super young as well. So have a few years in the storm system, and that next pay day from a struggling club who pays overs will be big, and he will still have plenty of years in him still.

Lets hope not. This game was hyped up by fox league even knowing all of the Panthers outs that this was going to be a non contest. I see it as more a test for how the others go leading into the finals. It'd be cruel if it gets to that magic number

At full strength it’s a great game and I slightly favour the storm. Difference between the teams is even if the storm missed 3/4 players they’d still be a great Chance, take a couple out of the panthers and it’s basically game over.

Panthers full strength are a 9.5/10 team.

Can almost take a point off them for each player they lose as despite some fans thinking our depth is good. It's really not. At full strength we still had a reserve grader benchie prior to adding TPJ. There's just so many poor teams you think depth is good when you win a few with guys out.

Storm are a 10/10 team at full strength. Can lose a hooker and fullback and still be a 9.5/10 team. Everyone else is nearly interchangeable. halves might be the only position where they drop considerably. Or if they have a huge amount out to compound a small difference into a big one. But they dont have a single player (or even 2) where if you take them out they would be any worse.

 

[forby]

Full strength this would be an entirely different game. How come Melbourne get every 50/50 call? And why did the bunker suddenly use ‘common sense’ to allow Melbourne a try when every other week they rule to the letter of the law?
Klein is useless! How can he be given the biggest game of the year? It is a joke if he is the number one ref!

 

[hineyrulz]

This really is the GF replay.

 

[mxlegend99]

Take out the Storm's best winger, halfback, front rower and lock and they would still be quite strong. That's the difference.

Yep. Drop from 10/10 to 9.

We drop from 9.5 out of 10 to 7. f**k I hate Storm. Shouldn't be a threat at all. Big 3 are gone. They should be a regular team again.

 

[roofromoz]

Oh no Bwaiff has written us off....lol... he's right though
