R21 MNF - SHARKS v STORM *Match Thread*

[mickdo]

16 all after a penalty for a Storm grapple tackle, 11 mins to go

 

[mickdo]

Storm have had 2 fair tries disallowed imo

Well the double movement was a penalty for sure, but which was the other one?

 

[Scorpio30]

Matt King tries to give away a penalty with a graple tackle....is unsuccessful so goes again next tackle and suceeds.

 

[mickdo]

Storm miss a fg from 40 out, then give away a penalty

 

[mickdo]

Sharks miss a fg from 20 out, then the Storm force a dropout...

 

[mickdo]

Storm fg but going to the video for possible obstruction...

 

[mickdo]

Fg awarded, although it certainly looked like obstruction

17-16, 3 to go

 

[Dr Crane]

Since when can you go to video ref for an obstruction on a field goal attempt?

Hopefully the commentators were wrong.

 

[Scorpio30]

Does anyone think that Slater jumped way too early to contest the bomb and took the fullback out?

 

[mickdo]

Sharks scrum on their own 30m with 50 seconds left...

 

[mickdo]

Covell fg drops about 2m short as time expires!

Storm win 17-16

 

[Dr Crane]

Funny how Dykes is perfectly fine now.

 

[Dani]

Nice dive by Dykes

 

[LESStar58]

ugly win.

We won't win the comp.

 

[Downie]

I really wished the grapple tackle would've come back to finally bite the Storm in the ass there.

 

[kia ora storm]

Dykes injured ???...or setting it up for a controlled field goal ???.

 

[Twizzle]

gee the Storm have been off their game recently

 

[wittyfan]

I must say, Manly should be premiership favourites now. Much more solid than this very shaky Storm side.

 

[badav]

There have been some big upsets this season. But if the sharks had pulled this one off that would have been right up the top. Unlucky to them. And worrying signs for Melbourne. But then again i have this bad feeling they are going to bounce back and cane brisbane next week.

Funny how Dykes is perfectly fine now.

we haven't seen this before have we?
