2022 R18 Sun - Melbourne 16-20 Canberra @ AAMI

[skeepe]

On the Olam “tackle”, I guess you couldn’t penalise it for a shoulder charge because, well, there’s not much shoulder involved.

It’s a headbutt.

Many folk on here jacking themselves off over the demise of the Storm. 2022 is done and dusted for sure, but take a step back and look at who has been injured.

Welch, Paps, Coates, Reimis Smith, Jennings, Loiero - these are just those which come to mind.

That’s not a cry for sympathy - most teams cop this at one stage or another, but you’ll be sorely mistaken if you think this slump in form is long term.

As for the game, we did ourselves no favours against our bogey side - wasn’t expecting much different tbh.

They can have Robert Jennings.

A superstar like George.

Before Magic Round everyone on here and in the media was etching the Storm’s name on the trophy; now everyone is writing them off. They should make the top 4 and then they are only three wins away from winning the whole thing; anyone who doesn’t think the Storm can win three games in a row at the business end of the season hasn’t been watching closely over the past 15 years…

Ravalawa would get 8 weeks for that tackle.

Every team could tell a similar story.

CNK, Croker, Cotric, Smith-Shields, Whitehead, Hodgson, Horsburgh, Valemei, Rushton, Mooney - and that’s just who was missing yesterday.

No excuses.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

When I saw Schiller was named in the side I was like "oh shit not Schiller again". He then proves me wrong (which is not easy).

 

[Bobby DIGital]

how do you give that as a penalty????????????????

You put your lips up to the whistle and blow it.

To be fair - Paps and Welch on their own are more valuable than those players together.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Wtf? Most teams would fold if a superstar like Croker was missing from their side.

Jesus Christ mate. I thought having a good night's sleep would allow you to reflect on just how stupid your posts in this thread were yesterday, but you've gone and doubled down. Unbelievable.

Yes Skeepe, the NAS and Rapana tackles were exactly the same.
That's why the officials yesterday and the Match Review Committee both see Rapana's tackle as worse.

Everyone is wrong except for you!

I was responding to your post about Paps and Welch being more valuable than all the Raiders that are out put together. You seem to be replying to a completely different thread.

Your brain is addled mate. Get help.

Oh so you didn't refer to posts made in this thread yesterday when you said:

And for the record, Paps and Welch are more valuable than those Raiders put together. They are rubbish, and Canberra are a better team without them.
