it was a combination of bad luck and cronk for me.
the knock on instead of intercept that perrett had, hoffmans lost ball "strip", the morris bounce twice, few other things that just were plain unluckly. cooper cronk was the deal sealer. his kicking game kept barba marking it inside his try line. it allowed him little time to play in broken field as 9/10 it would be someone coming back still allowing storm to set their line. worked really well for them. that and his kick before half time, the way he would get them out of trouble after a big set of defense from the dogs. the wingers did come up and in alot though there has been alot of complaints about them being off side from people at the game. though again thats footy. also i think storms forward pack stood up more then they had all year, and really needed to. norrie, bromwhich were pretty good.
i still think our forward pack was winning the game at the end though time just ran out.
if morris got a decent bounce instead of two shockers and slater jumping over his shoulder then i think it was game on. though it will be a good learning curve for the boys because while our defense held solid and pretty much everyone tried their ass off it just shows how vital focus is for the entire 80 minutes in finals footy. that cooper cronk kick just before halftime for the winger was a real big play, if we mark that again different story.
i have no doubt it brings the boys closer and des with the team too. also allows them to know what they are facing. most people in the storms line up have played big games, not many in the doggies had. will be better off for it thats for sure.
storm proved though just how good they can be. especially their forwards, always knew they had gun spine, good solid backs, though their pack had huge question marks. did extremely well and with hoffman, hincliffe, norrie, bromwhich they still have the core. setu, moore will help them too i think.
