Brisbane have made it look closer than it should be. If they held onto the ball it could have been a real blow out. They've been all over the Storm tonight.

I hate the Broncos and the help they get from the refs. People love calling us ‘Penref’ but don’t apply the same scrutiny to the horse filth.

 

[Chins get the wins]

We are so far ahead of Brisbane. I'm not worried in the slightest

 

[Munky]

If we play the Broncs we'll need Luai and Tago defending on the left

Peach or Cogger will get shredded by their right side

 

[Fangs]

I thought both sides were bad.

Means little. Brisbane are through to a prelim.

If you aren't feeling bad for Ryan Papenhuyzen, you don't have a heart..poor kid..just a bit fragile for the modern game..

Extremely sad news for Papenhuyzen. His future is very uncertain from here.

Very true, super talented and great mindset but there's only so much you can come back from. Probably needs to rethink his place in the team and bulk up. Even if slower his vision and skill will shine through..a long road from a compound ankle fracture

Life at times can be so cruel.

Not an option for him unfortunately. Without speed he's not a first grader.

What happened to Pap in the past few years is why a player should always take the longest highest dollar contract available.

 

[Bred not Bought]

Storm paying $3.70 for 1-12 win is easy money... for those who bet

This aged well.

 

[Iamback]

This aged well.

Well it is not often you see Storm complete at 67% and concede 10 penalties in a finals game.

Was a very poor game, Hopefully the standard lifts for the rest of the final series

Except when they play us

 

[Munky]

The Storm have one good forward in NAS.

Every other player in the pack is plod level.

Even Welch who I rated incredibly highly has gone full plod. Welch used to be Cleary's kryptonite in the way he'd hassle him on every kick.

Katoa is a good strike second rower but not good for the tough stuff

 

[Fangs]

Dolphins sucked Melbourne dry like Super Cell.

They took away Kaufusi and the Bromwich brothers. Not that they were amazing last year for Melbourne but it's left a huge gap in experience.

Felise Kaufusi - 173 games
K Bromwich - 216 games
J Bromwich - 295 games

Sims and Katoa aren't covering that loss. And it shows with Nelson playing back and front row.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Poor Pappie.

That’s an absolute disaster for such a champion guy.

One of my favourite non-panther players.

 

[BossleyPanther]

The Broncos should be feared, not because we have no chance, but the refs make it harder for us.

I thought both sides were terrible last night

 

[PennyPanthers81]

I thought both sides were terrible last night

Agreed. Broncos completed at 75% and made 12 errors. They looked good because the Storm were abysmal.
