Not a bad effort for the club as a whole

And considering the PL had to win it from 7th (ie 3 weeks of sudden death football)

 

[Hurriflatch]

it was more like 6 weeks as 2-3 weeks out of the finals they were no certain things to even make the top 8

Very true, full credit goes to Rip and all the coaching staff and players.

 

[Parra Guru]

did anyone else see a little eye gouge on Brett Stewart by Ben Cross early on?

 

[parra pete]

That's the way the Storm are coached...WIN at all Costs and buggar the consequences

 

[Parra Guru]

f**k the Storm scum

[Parra Guru]

This made me smile

 

[ioki]

with the storm's cake walk over the manly, doesn't it make parra's last week effort all the more creditable?

if you cont inu's second try and take away king's dropped ball which was given as a try, that means parra lost both games to melb (IN MELB) by 4 points each game

 

[hineyrulz]

Agreed, We gave them a real go last week. Manly we're never a chance tonight.

 

[parra pete]

Lyon should get cited for that. If Wagon copped two weeks, that should be worth something. Or is he exempt because he is a so called 'big name'

Juda's is bigger in more ways than one :lol: Geeze he's fat.

they interviewed Noel Cleal on the sideline at half time in reggies

I know where Jamie gets his eating habits from

Thing that impressed me about our performance last weekend is that I feel we lost the match, rather than Melbourne won it. Seriously - Inu's second try was a deadset BOTD decision, and had Tim been more patient early in the second half and put a grubber in the in-goal for a try/drop out, who knows what would have happened?

Congrats to the Storm, but in all honesty...They're lucky they played Manly in the GF.

Storm were the best team all year but we really stuck it to them but in saying that i dont know if we would have beaten Manly one thing i do know is we played better than Manly did tonight.

What really irks me about our side is that we're our worst enemy. Look at last week - we scored first and out-muscled Melbourne in the first 20 minutes and still fell behind. Eventually, though, we levelled the scores and looked dangerous. Again, though, we "fell asleep" and they got the ascendancy.

If we can put 80 minutes of footy together, we'll be good enough to go all the way.

Yeah i agree but Storm do the little things well and thats how they beat us although i see your point, it was a great game i thought.

They're a good team. Undoubtedly.

But I think we can more than match them in terms of talent - the times we've met this season show that.

The thing they have that we don't is the ability to play for 80 minutes and grind out a victory. We showed but on two or three occassions that we can grind out an ugly win.

Once we develop that ability, dare I say it - the title is ours to lose.
