Gameday - Warriors v Storm

[vvvrulz]

We undo a great start with a Ford knock-on and then Niukore with a seriously piss weak tackle.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

So no crusher there????

 

[Philip_Smith007]

CHT just for his defense.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Plenty of offload by Melbourne there to score out wide, a 3 on 1 by the end of it.

14-12 23mins.

 

[Izz]

This has a Tigers look all over it

 

[vvvrulz]

Trouble again, we can't shut down the offload and for some reason RTS had drifted a mine infield creating the overlap

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Leka hasn't touched the ball?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Niukore penalised for high shot on their 15m.
Instant sub.
Melbourne drop ball on our 40m.
Then high on AKP, starting on their 40m.

 

[vvvrulz]

Laban on, and he's so much better than Niukore

 

[vvvrulz]

Also liking this start from AKP - looks quick, pumped up and took a great high ball earlier

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Set restart 10m out.
Bounce bounce bounce bounce DWZ picks it up and scores.
Shit pass by Boyd, but hey.

14-16 32mins. Conversion missed from Boyd's weak spot.

 

[Izz]

Bouncing ball wins again!

 

[Burns]

Boyd cannot kick goals hey, yesh

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Halasima first touch ball stripped and earns penalty.
6 more as Storm to long in ruck on their 35m.
Halisma knocks on with line open.
Boyd needs better pass there.

 

[vvvrulz]

I don't know what's happened to Boyd's kicking - he looks far more nervous at the tee compared to his first games for the Wahs

 

[vvvrulz]

No!! Leka drops a try cold after that brilliant run

Can't concede cheap points here now, defence is what wins us games

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Another high shot by Storm into Tuaupiki head.
Starting on halfway.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Grant clearly run Tuaupiki off the ball! Penalised!
Attempting the 2, as nothing a gimmie with Boyd.
Converted.

14-18 halftime.

 

[Izz]

Can Boyd knock this one over?

 

[vvvrulz]

CHT is absolutely everywhere today making crucial tackles.

So glad Grant is getting called for his BS - in previous years they'd let so much of this go.
