Melbourne are a dirty team

[jirskyr]

Melbourne Storm are always pushing the boundaries of rules, always putting a toe over the line.

Before it was the grapple tackle, now its hands in the ruck. If you watch last night's game again, you will see the Storm players CONSTANTLY putting their hands on and around the footy as the Tigers players try to play it.

If referee Badger had been as whistle-happy as Hayne a few weeks ago, it would have tallied up like a Rugby match.

The Storm should stop trying to constantly bend and test the rules.

Oh no!!! and West tigers were not dirty as well. I am lucky i taped the game and is willing to show you the Grapple tackle that Wests made. EVERY team put hands in the ruck.

I am willing to record the tape on the net to show you.

Your a moron and a idiot, you went to the same Suregon as phil gould and Hadley because you have just had a arse transplant

Your a hypocite of a big kind, now go away you troll

One player does not = a dirty team.

 

[Joel Kicker]

what was the score guys?

 

[chemicalbrother]

[HappyTiger]

I dont think theyre overly dirty.Any team with Danny WIlliams is gonna be branded rough.

 

[chemicalbrother]

spot on happy!!!!.


jirskyr is stiring scumbag who is a coward because he can't say it on the Storm Board!!!!

 

[Tigerpete]

Yeah i cant call Melbourne a dirty side, more like a very enjoyable side to watch play. Pity about Williams but he bought that upon himself.

I can post it in the Storm board, but I don't give a rats f**king arse about Storm opinions.

I know one player doesn't make a dirty side. I know Williams is not indicative of the temperament of the whole Melbourne team.

But fact is your team constantly pushes boundaries. Constantly niggles, stretching the rules. Grapple tackles were perfected first by the Melbourne Storm and they are a cheap tactic. Rule clarifications have outlawed the practice.

And I watched last night, and the Storm players constantly handled the ball in the rucks.

And you can attack my opinions on logic and merit, but keep off the personal attacks Storm fans. Unless that, like Danny Williams, is the only way you can express yourselves.

Agree 100% with jirsky. Maybe "dirty" is not quite the right word but "niggly" and "boundary stretching" both apply. Thought it after the last game in Melbourne when we came away with 2 or 3 broken noses (including Mark O'Neill's ... broken by none other than Danny Williams!!!). Know it after last night's game. Constantly held down players, grabbed at legs, pushed and poked to slow down the play-the-ball ... the sorts of things (but worse, in my opinion) we were penalised out of the game for two weeks ago in Canberra.

One player does not = a dirty team.

I agree
Morley is dirty but the Roosters team arent

 

[jirskyr]

Anyway Hoggy, no one mentioned Danny Williams in the first place.

I dare say if the Danny Williams incident didn't happen you wouldn't have said a thing.

This it turn into Bulls$it!!!!. West tigers does the exact same thing, if you can't see that, you are blind!!!. I saw the forward work the head of the Storm, don't say that Melbourne pushes the boundries of penalties.

hand in the ruck??? LMAO another Blind Freddy comment, Wests does it as well

Logic and merit, my raw hide, That the biggest load of crap and you are a Moron and if you somebody want to bring Danny willams into which was talking about Melbourne Pushing the boundries, you are a coward like Danny!!!!.

Jirskyr, time to get those Beer glasses off my friend and smell the roses because you are in LaLa land
Jirskyr, Who was the first team to be penalise for a gapple Tackle??? Not melbourne!!!! It was Stains George[/quote]

 

[Magpie Nick]

Who was the team to bring in the no Grapple Tackle rule.

 

[innsaneink]

what a c0ck sucking team....with equally like minded supporters.
Get the f**k out, you losers!!! :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:

 

[Wrighty79]

The "grapple tackle" debate is similar to the Roosters "gang tackling" in 2002 which won them a comp. Personally I don't see too much wrong with it if it's done without 'malice'. Bellamy was never a dirty player and is by no means a dirty coach. I love Melbourne as a city, the people are tops and they love their sport. Melbourne Storm are up their with Newcastle as my second team (but a distant second it is). What Williams did was wrong and quite a cheap shot is somewhat under-estimating it when put into context, but I'm sure that Bellamy didn't tell Williams to put that shot on him. So, is Melbourne dirty?... No.

Wow I'm glad Nostradamus is here to help us out.

I would have posted this regardless. Danny Williams being a thug has very little to do with your team working the ball at the play the ball.

Chemical, you know your team pushes the limits. Watch the replay and tell me honestly that Melbourne did not handle the ball post-tackle regularly during Sat's match. Compared to the Tigers they did it far far more. I wasn't commenting on any other stat - not high tackles, not grapple tackles. Just hands in the ruck.

I don't even care who invented hands in teh ruck, or who does it the most or whatever. Fact is your side did it all night. And guess what, you lost anyway. So suffer in your jocks.

Excuse me,(ref below this thread) YOUR the one that want to bring up Grapple tackle and being dirty and then condricted your self with first Melbourne being a dirty team and then said that One player does not make melbourne a dirty team

now you are narrowing it down to hands in the ruck and Grapple tackle to Hands in the ruck!!!! Yes Storm does put hands in the ruck maybe no more than any other team!!!! You look at other Teams style (not West or Melbourne)

Chemical:

You quoted right mate, now read it closely.

In regards to Saturday's game I was commenting on the statistic of hands in the ruck, not the tackle methods. Grapple tackling was a previous line-ball action your team is not allowed to perform anymore.

Quoting yourself:

["condricted your self with first Melbourne being a dirty team and then said that One player does not make melbourne a dirty team"

Yes I did indeed say both. Melbourne are a dirty team, not because of one player, but because of ALL OF THEIR PLAYERS.

How can I respect the postings of someone who cannot spell or write coherent statements? Do us all a favour and bugger off back to the Storm forum.[/i]
