Rd24: Parra v Melbourne GAME DAY THREAD @ Suncorp 28/8/21

[strider]

Me and Gary predicted a close game.
I didn't expect a win. I thought we had given up and something was going on behind scenes the way we had been playing. I genuinely thought BA lost the dressing room.
I can't explain how we've turned that around. Teams who been up for a long time can get bored and only get up for big occasions. I am sure a few of us can relate to that......

20 wins in a row wasn't a big occaission?

felise kaufusi's 150th wasn't a big occaission? .... maybe his teammates hate him too?

I agree. It was a big occasion for the Storm. Not sure what Hindy was thinking.

Ffs. I was talking about our last 6 weeks. We been up for 2019,2020,2021 with this squad or bulk of it. It is hard sometimes to stay focussed like the Storm do.

Even Panthers are questionable. 2yrs at the top is hardly a dynasty. Lets see how they go the next 2yrs.

Soward is obsessed with were has the Eels form been and refused to concede that we played better than storm or are even capable of playing that good again and BTW storm have been overtrained anyway.

The runaway try EGJ scored from a Soward intercept still haunts him 12 years on.

Patience was a big part of it.

 

[hineyrulz]

But but but but our tactics didn’t change at al apparently???

 

[TheParraboy]

I though this guy was taking the piss

We couldnt PTB quick for a good portion of the game due to Storm having 3 in a tackle and peeling off

 

[Gary Gutful]

Yeah don’t give up your day job Jason Oliver!

Pretty decisive victory to the Storm on line breaks. Thought we scrambled and reset better in defence than we have for a long time.

Since the Souths game there's definitely been a lot less offloads. Unfortunately the first game with f**k all offloads was the Manly flogging. Maybe it took some getting used to, but the problem in that game was no defensive effort from the kickoff.

How are you ?

 

[hineyrulz]

How are you ?

I’m great mate, how good was Saturday nights win?? I was proud as punch giving shit to a mate who was a Bronco fan and now is a Storm one. How good was our attack?? Some beautifully constructed tries and we just bashed them. Let’s hope we can keep it up.
