They needed the sharks to have no line speed at all though to get in position for those kicks.

That is what I said about the game at Penrith. No backrowers mean't they could kick those kicks for tries

 

[Panther Pete]

Yes.

The dream would be playing Newie but I suspect it will be Cowboys.

You weren't wrong. The sharks game was your theory being peer reviewed.

Kicking for tries only works if you are around the 20 on the 5th. Defence like last night negates this threat.

line speed is key. Pressure the halves and they get a kick away at 80% it takes brillance or a mistake to score.
May fluke 1 but not multiple and we won't let 20 points in

Yeah there's no chance we give up 3 or 4 off kicks. Their running is a bigger threat for us for some reason they love to take the dummy.

The Storm got away with blue murder in the ruck. Standing right in it where guys were trying to play the ball, walking 3-4m off the mark, playing the ball a few metres to the side so markers are not square then running at them. Get away with what you can I guess but it’s ugly footy. All we can do is run hard, dominate contact and hit our fronts. Hard to wrestle when you’re losing the contact. Stop them from grinding the game to a hault and they are very beatable.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

No line speed from either side in the elimination game.

Lol Skelton not trusting Critta in defence. It's f**king Critta you potato

 

[PennyPanthers81]

Neither of these teams will beat the Storm in a prelim.

I must admit I predicted Billy to be on a big slide by now (similar to Api) but he is still as committed as always and has kept himself super fit.

Burton's big boot and dogs energy will be good vs the Storm's big pack and second rowers. NAS will be gassed quickly obviously pending dogs being able to apply it.

Canterbury Panthers are all over Manly.

 

[Fangs]

Good game. Manly are nowhere near there best but it's a 4 point game.

Of the teams available they are the only ones I'd trust to challenge and beat the Storm in the prelim. Dogs are no chance and Roosters are busted plus have a terrible record against Melbourne.

No this is Manly's level. They aren't a good side

 

[Fangs]

No this is Manly's level. They aren't a good side

Of the 3 teams available they are the only one who have beaten Melbourne this year.

Manly have a great middle rotation and a good spine. Those are two things that the Dogs don't possess. The Roosters at full strength may have but they are busted.

They are the only team capable of the job.

Dogs could do it if they play like today with more discipline ad far as penalties go.

They'd be my second choice.

They are totally outclassed in the spine by Melbourne. In clutch moments Storm win 9.5/10.

Dogs v Penrith would be a fantastic grand final but it's a huge long shot.

Dogs getting away with absolute murder.

I'd love that gf. Storm definitely better you're right but dogs could play the field position game better as long as they turn up with this defensive energy. Storm big forwards will fatigue.
