Game day vs The Stroms in the finals race

[Frenzy.]

What the f**k you idiots want him to do with us on the back foot in our half the whole game , run double unders plays at the A defender ? FMD you clowns have no idea . Honestly I hate Nicho but this isn’t on him .

 

[glenmoresharkie]

How bad is Ronaldo seriously. Nicho horrendous as well.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Get rid of Hynes he useless....

I’ve tried to back him but he just coasts in games.

That failed kick for touch did it for me.

unforgiveable.

 

[Quicksilver]

Some players need to have a hard look at themselves. Some very poor performers.

Nicho is very easy on the eye though

 

[Matt reeked]

Yeh good one , your the clown who questioned me when I said we don’t beat Melbourne early in the year if he played . He sucks but if you have half as much “ knowledge “ as you portray that’s not on him .

A million dollars per season you say? Hmmmmm, interesting. Yeah man.

 

[Frenzy.]

I'm on the horns of a dliemma after that.

My dilemma is deciding if

a) We have a dumb team that went away from a winning formula

or

b) We have a dumb coach who changed a winning formula

I am a million miles away from a first grade footballer. But I don’t think I would ever fail to find touch in that position. How does any first grader, let alone a marquee million dollar player, shank a kick like that? How?

 

[DJDL]

Sadly we’re just not at the top level. Too many moments given, too many moments not taken…

I've had this ringing in my ears all game.
I think it was Cooper Cronk talking earlier in the week about how Bellamy drills into the Storm players that "every moment is important". Basically win every moment and you win.

Us?
So many times we just don't ice it.
Toby early on when the ball bounced back to us on the last and we made a break - two or three outside him and he goes himself and dies with the pill.
Moment lost.

Playing a short side on the last, Iro getting trapped, throwing it out anywhere then panic passing to "anyone but me" until Nicho is caught on our 40.
Moment lost.

Finally earning a penalty after being under the pump then shanking the kick and failing to find touch.
Moment lost.

Getting our first try, putting together a good set from the kick off, and kicking deep into Melbourne's territory.
Then being lazy on the chase and Coates runs 40 metres up field.
Moment lost.

I could go on, but it's a common theme and has been for years.

Not a ruthless bone among them.

We were always massive underdogs, but that’s the 2nd time in 3 weeks our opposition has not given away a single penalty or ruck infringement in the second half of a game, that’s amazing discipline…

The fact was all game we were on the back foot, they made 10m+ every tackle and yet when we had we were tackled immediately, must be super quick Storm players to run 10m in half a second…Not to mention they made an extra 3-5m every play the ball and were pulled up once…

He's a better looking Greg Norman. At least the shark won a couple of British opens though

That's the one that did it for me.

Would Cleary every do that?
Moses?
Hughes or Munster?

You want the paycheck and the adulation?
How's about earning and icing those moments.

I could forgive him if it was a one off, but it's far from it.
I've lost count of the number of times he's done it.

To do it in a game of this importance is nigh on unforgivable.

Both but more B for me

 

[Poss]

I don’t think Tyson Gamble would ever do it, let alone Cleary, Moses, or Munster!

Kicking into the wind, so he tried to kick it hard and didn’t time it.
All our first half kicks where terrible all the bombs landing well short, no floaters, no kicks landing close to the side line. Melbourne starting sets 30+ meter out.

Same tema next year basically

 

[Surely]

Sorry nicho ain't no half, tough times for fitzy , and our wingers were molested under the high ball.

That about covers it I think

Can I go c) Both of the above?

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

No one really switched on in that second half when it was desperately needed.

You guys are much better than that.

Too much fear as well.
