Match Discussion: Round 19 vs Storm @ Sunshine Coast Stadium

[Vic Mackey]

I remember a cold winter night at Leichhardt when it was a big win, must have been 8 years ago or more.

Last round 2012. We got flogged

We did beat them there in 2004 and 2006 from memory.

I think thats the 2013 game in pouring rain at Leichhardt when we beat them 22-4. Simona scores 2 length of the field tries

we beat them in 07/09/10/12/13/15/18 (x2)

their last 4 wins over us have all been by less then 10

They’ve always had trouble with us

Knowing us we will probably grind out an impressive win.

True. The 2012 game at Leichhardt though was high stakes. Win and we were in but we folded. Benji scored our sole try though that night so not all was lost lol

Looking at the team for that game it actually surprises me how bad it was. Rowdy at 5/8th, Beau Ryan in the centres, Tom Humble on the bench. No wonder we got hammered 26-6.

Likely the first time Benjis paired with Reynolds with the immovable Brooks out ..The wonder combination ? Madge would hope not since it wasn’t by choice..That’s right Brooks was “dropped” wasn’t he..still it’d be good to see these two who can create tries, weave some magic and get a close score or even a win..The Storm can’t handle Benji..He unsettles their “perfect” “arrogant” systems
There’s always one “special” game each year that we win. Hopefully this is it

“Smith continues to agonise about whether to play on in 2021, and standing in the way of Grant and fellow rake Brandon Smith's development is weighing heavily on his mind”. ....

Rubbish Smith wouldn’t have any concern about anyone but himself..And my guess is the delayed decision means he will definitely return..

 

[BrotherJim05]

Yeah 100% Smith is playing on

 

[Tigerm]

Where, may be a better question?

oh yes I remember

we only had to win 1 of the last 2 games to make the finals

second last round was against the roosters (who were 15th) and we were down 22-0 at halftime

good to see nothing changed the entire decade

Yeah I was at both of those games. Absolutely disgraceful. Especially that Roosters game, I mean seriously they pumped us in to oblivion.

 

[Fordy20]

The Roosters always seem to have our measure.

 

[Tigerm]

Twal out again, he is is having a hard time of it this year.

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

Melbourne by plenty. If they win tonight they lock up a top 2 spot. We have nothing to play for.

Hopefully Nofo can score a try or two and wrap up top try scorer for the year. Be nice to get something out of the season and he deserves it. Has a dig every single week and plays well above his weight. He creates more attacking opportunities than most of our spine combined

 

[Tigerm]

Ominous start

 

[Pezz70]

This is gonna get really ugly, they’ve picked Marshall already, and Maguire has gone in with two hookers, Lawrence in the backs and no back up utility. I guess he’ll be hoping Garner can move to the centre’s should something happen. Storm playing touch footy, they could
Put 60 on the tigers tonight

 

[Pezz70]

Attack not too bad, nice try for Kepo, but our defence looks shot. Hopefully that will settle them down a bit.

 

[Tigerm]

f**king embarrassing defence again.

 

[BrotherJim05]

That pass from Reynolds to Packer is the highlight of their value at this club.

 

[Pezz70]

Yep, 60 pts is coming.

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

That pass from Reynolds to Packer is the highlight of their value at this club.

get the editing software out and rock and roll the play with the benny hill theme to accompany it.

 

[Tigerm]

Good audition for JAC
