Match Discussion: Round 5 vs Storm @ Central Coast Stadium

[NoSchitSherlock]

BS.

 

[Misanthrope]

That call is absolutely gutting. Completely incorrect call that ultimately meant we had no chance to finish our comeback.

With that being said, our dogshit first half set this up. If we hadn't handled the ball like children and we hadn't leaked soft points, we wouldn't have been in a position where Cummins could hand the game to the Storm.

 

[perverse]

For sure the refs have f**ked us at key moments here, but we cost ourselves a real shot at this game in the first half. Bugger. On to next week.

 

[PhilGould]

Our own worst enemy tonight. Not sure about Hoy as the utility without a real plan on how to use him. Seems a waste of a spot at the moment.

That was soft

Yep, left ourselves way too much to do in the second half and unfortunately when you play Melbourne you have to expect refs to be a 14th man for the storm

 

[Haffa]

Fought but after a horrible first half. Then to get stitched up at the end hurts.

Lots to work on over the next few weeks. We are still a decent team.

So apart from the shit pen on klem how were we robbed exactly?

 

[Bartwah]

Aside from all the whinging on here, Kurt Mann is definitely our 6 this year. The bloke has ripped in this year. Good running game and absolutely ripped in defence tonight

 

[Zoidberg]

As soon as we got within 6 we barely touched the ball with the refs handing the game to them.
We did shoot ourselves in the 1st half but Storm seemed to put everything they had into it then had to hold on in the 2nd.

 

[PhilGould]

Hopefully Fitzgibbon is back on that left edge next week, Guerra tries hard but he's just too slow now.

 

[Spot On]

Oh well, hard to win any game after going 18 nil down. I'm just stoked it wasn't 40 - 2.

Close to our best

How long on Barney? Out edge forwards blow

After the break from Vunivalu which he kicked in to Smith, Smith clearly tackled yet allowed to get up and pass the ball, which then led to Vuni dropping the ball but called a high tackle by Lee even though he didn’t touch his head. We were given no chance in that final 10.

Bet the coach doesn't mention the refs once

 

[Silent Knight]

I thought the NRL was more entertaining this year due to the new rules. But then I watched the Storm. Zzzzzzzzzz.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

We beat ourselves in the first half but I reckon we deserve a fair go and we didn't get that.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Every 50/50 call went with the Storm, they grubbed it up in the ruck and as usual, the fix was in but...you have to expect that against proven cheats so we need to be better.

The team is fit, strong, talented and dumb...

I don’t think he will either, doesn’t mean those calls were right.
