Rd22: 750pm Parra v Storm GAME DAY THREAD @ Commbank 31/7/25

[Gary Gutful]

If we play like we did last week we’ll be up to our eyeballs in this game.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

I am just hoping to see more areas of positivity coming from the team. Melb are a class outfit even without Hughes. Hoping we show up, put in some effort and are in with a shout with 20 to go. Cmon the Eels…

Joash better fall on the ball this time.

Storm conceded 3-4 tries from kicks last week against the chooks. Moses over to you.

It was a difficult kick to just "fall on" the ball. Unless he picks it up clean, it would be called a knock on for sure.

I'd like to see more genuine chances of the Momax effect come into play. Lomax has gone in half-assed on a lot of attacking bombs, meaning little chance of either catching or forcing a mistake. Across field bombs are where it's at.

We'll never know, we can only speculate. I still reckon he should have fallen on it.

Yeah with no time on the clock a knock on was fine aslong as grabbed the ball

Agree 100% There was about 40 seconds left right? Even if fumbled it by time a scrum was packed etc their was no time left. Maybe 1 tackle?

 

[Timana]

He shouldve kicked it

 

[Eelogical]

He shouldve kicked it

Diving on it would have been the best outcome overall. Kicking it dead may have given the Broncos 1 chance. Falling on it would have been the best option rather than trying to pick it up.

Btw, my new TV just arrived and my dog still hasn't come home yet.

It's pouring out in Hornsby. What's the weather like at Parra?

I'm going to say, Stormy.

I'm in Parra now, it's wet but no rain.

Sounds like we should kick to the seagulls.

Team trimmed - Dylan Brown dumped out of the 18 again.

Moretti starting, Walker on the bench.

Samrani the HIA reserve.

Interesting Moretti starting...
I think Rylesy playing it tight with heavy track.
Bring on Walker after opening exchanges.
Hope Hopgood is not going to play his old style lock role.
Want him tucking it under the arm and making metres

I hope Samrani will be ready to go considering how low the Storm could go for a win.
