Are the Melbourne storm the most boring team in the history of RL ?

[Penrose Warrior]

Crikey, there must be more than a dozen people participating in this thread that 'hate' the way Melbourne play, still a long way to go before equalling the AAMI crowd that didn't. I'm a RL follower and I reckon it's a f**king shame that teams only care what their supporters think

Popeye logic - Crowd figure at AAMI Park minus number of anti-Storm grub posters on a rugby league forum = nett satisfied customers?

T Boon thinks great attacking footy is randomly throwing it around with no structure until you drop the ball.

The sooner Smith, Slater (if he hasn't properly f**ked off already) and Bellamy retire the better off the game will be.

The game needs the Storm to be successful but not like this. Gee it would be great to have a non merkiny Melbourne team.

"Not like this"

What does that mean? I think you are just pissed off because your side were not talented enough to break down our defence. Maybe other sides should try learn off the storm rather than bitch and moan.

If that Storm crowd had a better rugby league education they would boo their own team.

You are a tosser Tbone.

I love watching the storm play...

It is clinical and precise, like watching an NFL team (except even more impressive give they dont have the chance to set up a play and chat before each PTB). Its never lucky, everything they do looks totally intended.

We all talk about their defence (a bit dull, but blame the rules not the people who figured the out), but their attack doesnt get nearly as much respect as it deserves.

They dont just wait for a penalty or the other teams line to collapse, they create their own opportunities. They dont just throw it around and hope for the best, they seem to know what they want to do with every play...

you aren`t allowed to put a positive spin on Storm and how great they are..

 

[Miller was a legend]

I don't really care for anyone else's opinion of the Storm. They are tough, competitive and ruthless.

We are gonna beat them next week

They are also cheating merkins. No one should ever forget that

Then the tackle count resets

No one has. It's mentioned every single game. But that was 6 years ago - and despite our squad being torn to shreds, here we are in another grand final while other clubs are seeking the same old excuses.

Thats how the game was in its infancy. There were about 20 tackles in a game....Sounds good.

Now we have drop and go ruckf**k Melbourne football....Sounds clinical.

Thanks man!

One day Melbourne will win and play good football. You will enjoy that a lot more.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Boring, predictable...

Funny how it wins comps.

 

[BuffaloRules]

I wish my team was boring and made grand finals....

 

[Tommy Smith]

i didnt say i thought they deserved those titles, but the game was played and they won, no amount of "but but they were stripped" really matters. Deep deep down you realise this.

Deep deep down I know that the record books show the 2007 & 2009 titles to be vacated.

It's entirely just and I give the Storm zero credit for those titles.

Smith & Cronk are chasing their 2nd title this Sunday. That's a stone cold indisputable fact.

why?
I wish my team played like Canberra and made grand finals.

Canberra were terrible last night..,

Had every opportunity to win it but couldn't deliver when in really mattered...

That just about sums it up, from Rooster supporters in a red phone box to Broncos supporters in a packed Suncorp and all clubs in between, teams only have to worry about satisfying their own supporters/sponsors and everyone else can take a f**king flying leap . . . no-one Melbourne cares about are complaining ol' mate

Edrick had a bad night but the Raiders played some really good football. They could have wrestled a little better.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Maybe could have tried to milk a few more penalties..

In my opinion the clubs also owe a duty to the code to promote it in a good light - just like the players themselves owe one. Melbourne are in breach of that.
