Round 17 vs Melbourne

[O'Sullivan]

Don't the commentators love it!

 

[Saints111]

We scored some good tries. But wow our defence was just plain terrible

 

[Crush]

Sigh. Well we won't win the premiership now

How so?

 

[Brutalitops]

Unfortunately the last 15 is not going to reflect how great and close this game truly was.

If both teams are full strength I believe we win this one.

 

[Datramp]

How so?

50 points scored against us

 

[Brutalitops]

How so?

Probably the stat that no team has ever conceded 50 in a season and won the prem that year.

Pretty dumb stat, somehow there's a difference between 49 and 50

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

The Host injury proves very costly in the end
Having no option to Nightingale on the edge just proved too much
Shame about the blow out but it was probably inevitable with such a small bench

Appearantly some idiot, when missing four regular forwards and throwing a bunch of young guys on there, thought it would be a fantastic idea to go into the game with an old winger and a reserve hooker on the bench.
For the life of me I can’t think who it was though?

 

[ozbuck]

This game was lost by McGregor - bad selection on the bench ... don’t want to bag him but fmd to have 2 forwards on the bench is suicide!!

Hahahaha you idiot. Mary's fault hahaha love it. 30-28 with 15 to go. But Mary lost it.

Nah, maybe just some bad decisions made by inexperienced and tired players. It was over when melb scored their second try in a row

Nothing to see here except we showed slot of heart and some great set plays. Well done Mary, you gave the players a lot of tricks up their sleeve tonight

 

[Brutalitops]

Proud of the heart showed!

 

[Crush]

All good people. No injuries and we played well all things considered.
Geez storm played well though, great game.

 

[Crush]

50 points scored against us

And?

Ummmmmmmmmm an old winger and a reserve hooker on the bench?
That doesn’t seem idiotic to you?

The dragons strength is their pack and there was no resemblance of a pack out there tonight. However, Storm are a scary team when you consider they have six player missing due to Origin Duty plus are missing through injury; J Bromwich, D Finucane and Kasiano. They actual have nine players missing from tonight, that’s scary.

 

[OzDragon]

Incredibly dissapointing to put the cue in the rack with 15 to go.

 

[jeffdragon]

It was a brave effort.
Went toe to toe but 8points either side of ht didnt help us we gave storm to many chances.
We been down there 5 .times to score.
We cant beat them down there.
They have depth croft etc.
We were unfortunately the ones to give up in the last 15.
It could of been us but wasn't.
Our kicking game wasnt good.
kicking straight to them.

The reason they were tired is the were no reserve forwards to use- a clapped out old winger can't be expected to perform for 70 minutes in the forwards

Next weeks selections will be interesting

Nah nighty has played off the bench on our last few wins. Not broken don't fix it.

It was broken then too... not sure if you watched us struggle against the wooden spooners

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

Really?
5-10 minutes off the bench is not playing almost a full game in the middle.
Plus if you’ve got him there to play that role, what was the point in sitting the reserve hooker beside him?
