R3 // Storm 28-20 Knights @ AAMI // Mon 7pm

[Chicken_Hunter]

Flood gates are opening. And to think some people here thought our forwards were better than the storms. Just look at the lines the storm forwards run compared to ours, they always seem to find space.

 

[Jono078]

Are you not allowed to strip the ball when they are within reach of scoring any more?

 

[Dave_]

Fu**ing forward. We're getting dudded

 

[Burns]

Getting killed in the penalties.

 

[K-Man]

Words cannot explain how frustrated our penalty goals make me. Wayne just hasn't moved with the times.

We lose momentum, we never score the next points, and it virtually guarantees the opposition builds their confidence. You can SEE them physically lift the intensity.

 

[Frederick]

Another late penalty ffs

 

[Jono078]

Gagai's defense this year is so bad.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

That's the game over before half time. We are too ill disciplined to be competitive. Same story against the raiders last week.

 

[Burns]

Have we had the ball since their first try ? We have not had the ball for 10 minutes.

 

[Frederick]

Fmd can these refs be any more obvious?

They don't even try to hide it anymore

 

[perverse]

Well, we were up for the game... but apparently both we and the refs don't want us to have the ball anymore. Not sure if I want to watch the second half.

 

[K-Man]

Seriously Wayne, it's time to wake up and smell the game in 2014. Just look at what Melbourne did to us from the second we took those 2 points. That absolute second is the moment we lost the game.

We lost 3 games like that last year in the same way.

Teams even freely admit in the press conference that they saw that as the big turning point. You can't score a try against us? Ok then, well you're not winning this game 8-6 I can assure you.

To beat the best teams you need to really outplay them and convert those chances into tries. You don't hold them out for 65 minutes. We have to learn that the risk/reward of going up up 12-2 has to be taken. Storm did to us, they pick their moments.

 

[Dave_]

Are we really that ill disciplined that we have to get raped so bad by the refs each week?

 

[Nuffy]

The tragedy is that both teams are doing the same things but we are the only one getting pinged.

If Bennett doesn't start bringing this issue up EVERY time he speaks with the media then it just feeds itself, the same thing happened last week and there was no square up.

 

[Frederick]

f**ks sake aku

f**k off back to Fiji. f**king useless piece of shit

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Storm will dead set score again here. We have gone full genius

 

[Nuffy]

When was the last time we bitched about the refs, you can bet if Bellamy suffered the same thing every week, his head would explode.

 

[Dave_]

Uate is a fair dinkum waste of space at the moment. He needs to go now

 

[Frederick]

Hey look, we got our token penalty! Better give the storm another 5

 

[perverse]

Square up penalty late in the half when we can't build any pressure. Pretty sweet.
