2023 R1 Thu - Parramatta 12-16* Melbourne @ CommBank

[skeepe]

Storm got all the calls in the second half

No.

 

[Someguy]

I can't believe it's still 7 tackles for a missed field goal

Come on

Dumbest rule the 7 tackle set was to combat players kicking it out the back from 50 or 60 away to avoid a kick return. That kick is ironically enough the least penalised by the rule as a quick tap can never be taken

 

[Munky]

Both teams looked clueless in setting up a field goal.

Expected from Moses but Hodgson and Hughes should know and do better.

 

[Bazal]

Have you not watched the Raiders before?

Or the Dragons. Or Tigers. Knights. Warriors. Titans

Jeez there's not a lot of brains in the NRL

 

[Someguy]

Storm got all the calls in the second half

the tonu broken face for example

 

[hineyrulz]

Mate he’s a very good first grade half but he’s not a Million dollar one. He needed to take control the last 20 mins and he disappeared up his own datehole.

Hodgson got that Raider blood

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Class? Melbourne?

Knee bending, neck breaking, elbow twisting, hip dropping scum.

…Being their more civilised attributes.

 

[Someguy]

Hopgood looks like a good find. No papalili replacement but a hard worker and solid player

I mean he is under the current cap.

Let's be honest, you put Moses in the Storm side and he's no longer a downhill skier. He's an objectively better player than Hughes, for eg. Most of his inconsistency comes from the fact that he plays for Parra and look at how dumb we still are. It's in our genes, no coach in my lifetime has managed to get rid of it.

 

[stryker]

Moses can f**k off to the Tigers, he’s not a million dollar player. Shits the bed when it matters.

No bloody way…you touched him last, youre stuck with the little tanking choker.

 

[Bazal]

Hopgood looks like a good find. No papalili replacement but a hard worker and solid player

He'll be better than Ice on balance because he can pass and tackle.

But he's not a replacement because he's a lock

 

[stryker]

Need to bring back the draw

Doorey looks a more than capable replacement, better defender as well.

 

[Bazal]

Doorey looks a more than capable replacement, better defender as well.

He looked f**king good. Not as explosive as Ice but a much better defender on first look.

Ultimately Lane and Matto will probs be the starting edge. Although I wouldn't mind Matto off the bench, the middle defence went to absolute shit when Bahlow and Reg went off

 

[Vic Mackey]

Doorey looks a more than capable replacement, better defender as well.

Dooreys always looked good, no idea why the dogs got rid of him, probably cause he’s actually a local Junior

I reckon Doorey has nailed down that edge spot, Matto on after 25mins and he plays as a middle.

 

[stryker]

If this stayed as a draw the dragons would be in the 8.
f**k you golden point.

That would have been the first and last time this year you could have said that!

Moses with the game on the line
