Harry still hasn't won a comp.

Shame

He still needs more acting practise

 

[Apey]

Munster doesn't seem that disappointed... something very weird going on with the Storm...

Munsters never given a f**k. They should have kicked his ass to the curb a while ago and put Pezet in.

Every freaking year, dude has plenty of dosh and always looks like his suit was pulled out of a Vinnies donation bin

Don’t forget his 2020 tie

Jamie Buhrer is an origin rep. You can't tell me that if that tackle wasn't made by Walsh, it wouldn't have been a sin bin.

I've said in this thread that I think it was a shoulder charge and should have been binned. But when Klein Kampf ruled it wasn't, he basically couldn't be binned.

Loiero left the ground to hit a taller bloke high with his shoulder and no effort to wrap.

I'm saying they aren't the same tackle at all. Loiero could have been sent off in a regular season game and few would blink.

Don’t forget his 2020 tie

As I said every year

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Cleary 4 from 6

Nobody cares

Sour grapes from me but a no try penalty for high contact instead of 7 tackle set after tui was hit around the jaw is the correct decision and likely ends in a different overall result

Edit: bunker is meant to make correct calls according to rules in a try scoring situation, if it was general play it’s not on report so no intervention

That Loiero tackle was worse than Sualii on Walsh.

They have doctors who specialise in major mental impairments you know. Maybe make an appointment.

 

[Apey]

No I reckon it's even better than that

I reckon that Craig has got so overconfident that he's doing this to himself. Look at him being happy to keep washed Munster, apparently let Pezet go, and trying desperately to turn bums like Howarth and Anderson into those old Stomr specials (which were actually players with some talent but attitude issues like Cheyse Blair and Curtis Scott)

Tbh I think they should have turfed Munster a while ago but I always get the vibe that there's an arrogance in the Storm team that they know they can get back here so its not as a big deal to lose some. Or I'm just talking total shit. But i tipped Broncos purely on the fact I thought they'd want it more and they did, by a long way.

My man, for a Storm fan you go ok...and I think in a week or so you will realise that this post actually acknowledges it wasn't a penalty.

Because foul play preventing a try doesn't result in no try, penalty.

It was nothing.

Unreal to think someone with a surname of smoothy has won a premiership!

That's totally fair and sin bin or send off, nobody will care when it happens with 3 minutes to go. Fundamentally I don't think we disagree. Walsh should have been off for 10 minutes.

Can you imagine the outcome if it was Walsh though?

Outside of Paps the Storm were Cam Newton in the super bowl. Just watched the ball on the ground multiple times.

It's a shame Paps lost his top end speed. He goes the distance on the line breaks with his 2020 speed.

The Storm played like they'll be back next week.

The guys who were here in 2020 deserve this so f**king bad.

We were f**kin terrible 5 years ago. Kevvie brought the culture back, Maguire gave us the hard edge & belief.

Yeah Billy!!!!
Unlucky mate, he deserved to be there!
