What an important game coming up between the Warriors and Storm.
Everything to play for, for both clubs.
For the Warriors a chance to leapfrog Penrith and take 6th spot
For the Storm a chance to leapfrog us into top spot.

Just on the Panthers, they are in real peril of actually missing the finals, given their slide and injury toll with just now young Luai will be out indefinitely. If the Tigers keep winning they're in for a real shot and scraping in...…....just like the Cowboys last year.

Hope the Warriors can do us a favour today, just wait and see which team turns up?

Just as an aside, how is the Manly game the TV game and a top eight battle isn't?

Simple answer = The Roosters are playing

It's crazy eh? The warriors storm game has the potential to be massive.

If the Dragons can’t win the comp then I want it to be the Warriors. I hope they smash the purple cheats today.

The draw is set pre-season. Nobody back then expected Warriors to be anywhere but Bottom 4 this year, and Melbourne games don't rate on Sunday arvo.

I think you'll find Sunday arvo games will almost always without exception be between Sydney teams

Second half penalties Mel 7 ... NZ 2.

Whatever way you look at it, it's another year with the melbourne storm at the top of the table... yawn

Im not disputing that, and in fact they may well go back to back ...
Doesnt mean i have to like it.

Grub of a team

 

[ALSGI]

Yep, Warriors sucked in to tactics by Storm (it’s called game management) and plenty of mistakes.
Storm have Souffs and Narks next, we’ll be back on top next week.

For the life of me I can’t work out how the Sharks have won so many games?
Matt Moylan is a terrible player, all he does is drift across field and throw hospital passes to centres.
Andrew Fifta is a hopeless joke of a player at the moment, no effort at all.

On the other side of the coin, what do the Broncos board do if Bennett leads the Broncos to the tittle this year?

Sharks have had the rub of the green in a few games, Canberra x 2, Titans & Warriors but can consider they have been dudded twice against The Broncos. So it all comes out in the wash. In saying that no side has had the rub of the green with ref desicions than the Broncos this year in close games. Melb are now hot on their heels as always. The back peddaling on the crackdown in policing the wrestle, 10 and the ruck as now favoured the 2 superpower sides like Melb & Roosters and also the Sharks who were not going so well before the Todd Greenberg Round 12 cave in.
I reckon it is a valid reason why Dragons, Warriors & Penrith who were going so well with quicker ruck are now not as good. Souths can also be considered in that category but their 9 in a row except for the Dragons then Sharks during origin was not against strong opposition.

You have a point, I think our backward slide can be kind of traced back to the refs stopping to police the 10m rule.

The only thing the Sharks have going for them is they can hang into games better than any side in the league. So when an opportunity does arise through a refs blunder they can capitalise on it.

I laughed my arse off. "Play to the whistle" until it effects my team.

 

[WA 'S OWN RED V]

Broncos enjoyed there standard nrl sponsored free lunch out of their own end last night.having said that sharks had plenty of chances to ice the game. You never hear Wayne complain,.why would you.Storm enjoy the same treatment it’s a franchise thing.

Bye Bye bunker and pocket ref.lets save the money and except human error.The game will flow better. The ref only needs to make if fair for both teams.It will never be perfection.

Keep the bunker, but stock it with common sense staff.
Go back to one referee, how many times this year have we seen the main ref let play go only for the pocket ref, who is further away make a call.
Don't check with every ref, linesman, bunker, bloke in the second row about a call, if you think it's a try, blow it.
Stop the "I think it's a try" rubbish. If you thought that you'd blow it, send it upstairs as an "I have no clue".
Let the bunker rule on forward passes.
Give the bunker a time limit, if you can see it in the first 15 seconds, just rule, 27 different slow motion replays won't change the facts.
