It’s game day ffs!

[Avenger]

Did makatoa get a run?

No, we like playing with 16.

 

[Noise]

We are still a dumb f**king side, you’d think with a 10 year coach the stupidity would be coached out of them??

Yea the dumb was on show tonight. Even our supposed smarter players played dumb at the end. Gutho’s bomb on full time, Paulo throwing the ball to the ground in golden point only for Moses to pick it up then pass to an asleep Drown who sticks one hand out to drop it.

Have you been to an event where you got to meet NRL players?

 

[Angry_eel]

We were incredibly tired. Melb should have ended the game with 10 to go.

Moses made many stupid decisions. Grant, you have to give it to him, took a very brave option and won the game.

 

[The Predictor]

But seriously, how do Melbourne keep getting away with all the garbage in the ruck???

It's different rules for them. The nrl is rigged surely

Ashley Klein!!

 

[yy_cheng]

We only played 16, right? Can’t recall Makatoa getting out there. Weird strategy while it’s still basically summer.

It's ba strategy. Happened all last year

 

[The Predictor]

We missed JA

Would have been better than Brown

Paulos pass was on the 2nd tackle when we were over halfway. Just so dumb, we didn’t respect the ball all night.

 

[the phantom menace]

So on that bench rotation tonight, at the 65min mark where some forwards that had been on from the start might have needed a break... Doorey and Murchie appear to come on for two backs (Lumelume and Penisini), Makatoa is not sighted in the middle, and we bring a winger in Lumelume back on for Momoisea with 1m to go?

Uppercut for Brad Arthur again.

 

[yy_cheng]

We shouldve kicked the penalty goal and wouldn't have been in this mess. Joey said kick the penalty

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

Should have been a penalty right on full time when a storm player ran behind his team-mate...







Not to mention the flat pass that got ruled forward..







It's obvious Klein hates parra.







so over the nrl

 

[Happy MEel]

Munster missed a field goal and put in a shit kick to gift us possession on the halfway line as well.

Yep it happens when you have players trying to win a game. Drown on the other hand, didn’t even seem
Interested in getting involved.

 

[The Predictor]

N

Did makatoa get a run?

No …. why ?

 

[Bandwagon]

We hardly imploded, The Storm aint ever easy beats and we lost in golden point FFS, yeah blew a few opportunities, but they did also , overall it wasn't that bad a performance, especially given it's f**king round one.

I reckon though it might take us a while to get used to Hodgeson's play from dummy half, very different from Rheed without that long wide pass.

To be fair drown wouldn't have been smart at school.

Maybe he didn't understand what barrett wanted.

 

[lucablight]

Why didn’t Cini get a run over Lumelume?

 

[Eelogical]

Paulos pass was on the 2nd tackle when we were over halfway. Just so dumb, we didn’t respect the ball all night.

It's called patience. That's something we lack at critical times, as shown tonight.

 

[Bandwagon]

We also have a penalty away giving them excellent field position so it wasn’t like we had it all our way. To be honest, I think one of the biggest blunders was when Hodgson went left to Drown instead of giving Moses another shot at a field goal.

Yeah he over called Moses there, that'll need to be sorted.

 

[yy_cheng]

Why didn’t Cini get a run over Lumelume?

Probably injured. Ribs

 

[the phantom menace]

Hopgood and Hodgson having to play 80 metres isn't going to be sustainable, they were 2 of the 3 players near the play when Grant scored at the end. If they play 70 minutes do they get there to make the tackle. I suspect they do.

This. For all the proponents of Brad Arthur's 16 player 17 man teams.
