You can’t argue with Lauren.

I don’t know Lauren… but who am I to argue… PARRAS ON FIRE

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

What are you even doing in here? We won, FFS!

I love you gary

 

[Wally21]

Olam had Penisini up in his face the whole game.

Olam didn’t like the penis

 

[crocodile]

That sounds like an argument.

No, you want 12A. This is abuse.

 

[DissapointedParraFan]

Pensini defence has been very good as well

Had Olam in his back pocket

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So before we all turn on each other and say shit like, see I told you so. Or I was right you were wrong, let’s just enjoy what was one of the most courageous performances in years. And yes, we have all had opinions on the coach etc, but get over yourself, have a f**king whisky and enjoy the boys singing the team song!!! f**k YEAH!!!

Nope, the deathriders get to celebrate when we lose, they can f**ken hear about it when we win.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I see opportunities every week and rarely see the 18th man used, i am always a bit puzzled by it like there is a specific rule that entitles you?

Isn't it when you lose a second merkin for foul play?

 

[Angry_eel]

you're not trying very hard

I don't like to get disappointed after getting my hopes up. Low expectations is where its at!

 

[Bandwagon]

How good is it Keeping the Storms scoreless through the last 50 minutes of a game?

 

[Mickyd39]

This is what I thought of when Papenhuyzen went down after D Brown barely touched him.

 

[Avenger]

Special mention to Bryce Cartwright. He had an exceptional game coming from the bench. This is when he always should come on, about 15 min before half time.

Olam had Penisini up in his face the whole game.

Everyone was up in everyone's face. That's what won us the game. Storm don't like a bit of physicality. Grant is not as good as he thinks he is.

 

[IFR33K]

I agree that if we play well enough to beat the best team in the comp that it will be good enough to beat a team in the bottom half of the 8.

What if the team in the bottom half of the 8 lifts? Just like we did, tonight, merkin.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Better than Sivo

Definitely safer

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

Suddenly this feels like the baby eels of 2000, no one gave them any hope and almost ended up in the gf, got jipped in the preliminary against the broncos....

I reckon the Storm looked better when Cheese and Hynes where starting at hooker and fullback. Since the change they looked clunky

 

[Chipmunk]

Well done for being the millionth poster to walk into the trap

I don't get baited in by our Pou Bear these days...just a quick rebuff and move on

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We have tapped a few back and subsequently scored tries too ... it just didnt go our way tonight

With that play it depends on effort to make things happen after the tap back. The best teams are usually better at recovering that ball because they usually get more numbers around it to make their own luck.

 

[Gary Gutful]

What if the team in the bottom half of the 8 lifts? Just like we did, tonight, merkin.

…and plays better than a team that plays as well as they played when they beat the best team in the comp?

You were right the first time!

 

[Bandwagon]

Everyone was up in everyone's face. That's what won us the game. Storm don't like a bit of physicality. Grant is not as good as he thinks he is.

Grant was made to tackle plenty of merkins running at him, more times than he'd like. That blunted his game in attack on account of being f**ked by the workload in defense.
