2023 FW1 Fri - Brisbane 26-0 Melbourne @ Suncorp

[GongPanther]

Well that half of footy took about what seemed 23 minutes.

And between last weekend and today, that took a a fortnight.

FARRRRKIN HELL this is tense.

I wish the scoreline was a little wider considering how good we've been but the good sign is Melbourne look FRUSTRATED.

That penalty off the Papan loose carry is exactly the sort of shit that Melbourne ALWAYS get away with.

But a tight scoreline also sets up melbourne for a late win off some bullshit calls i fear if the bronx don't put them away.

Don't worry, you guys have this in the bag.

Didn’t even look like a drop kick?

Must of been Paps good leg

It's already happening. Melbourne have been allowed to do what they like in the ruck ALL night. It makes me want to tear my own head off and throw it at Atkins.

Yeah, this right here. For the territory we've had we should be up by more. And the storm will be very pleased with that score I feel.

Papenhuyzen was trying those short ones last week and the first couple were shithouse.

 

[Reflector]

Let alone the game being reduced to a box in the corner so they can run an add on 70%+ of the screen due to no stoppages during an extended period of play so they can cut to a commercial break, or worse on air "cross promotion" advertising from the commentary team mid-call

What, you don't think they're just legitimately curious when they ask Fatty what's his go-to meal at McDonald's and why?

 

[The Lounge Lizard]

It’s more so because there’s little difference between a drop out that goes 10 v one that goes 40. They’ll still have to defend on their own tryline either way

I'd rather be defending 25 metres from your own tryline than 10 metres.

Broncos dominant and frustrating Storm with constant aggression. Still only 8-0 though and Storm are their bogey side. It looks like being broken tonight but surely Storm can only improve on that first half.

Neutral opinion - both teams have got away with murder in the ruck tonight. Typical finals "let it flow" mentality from the ref.

Yeh but the storm are merkins haha

 

[This Year?]

Put your money on Storm to score a try first in the 2nd half.

 

[Apey]

Oh my IBM actually thinks Broncos are being dudded.

 

[Munky]

Hey Storm fans, I'm an expert in having a dummy half run around in circles, throw hospital passes and look totally out of sync in a big game, AMA

The curse of the running hooker in a game with no ruck control from the ref.

He literally copied and pasted that from BHQ
