Just had a read of the Storm Forum (not the LU version) and they are all crapping on how much Klien hates them and how much Klein help Panthers....no f*&king idea

Didn't change the result yesterday but if we play Melbourne in the finals I want Ivan putting pressure on the refs in the media all week. Not even exaggerating Grant barely passed a ball backwards. It's ridiculous

I have read similar in forums like Roar from ‘neutrals’. We did get a few 6 agains late in the count. But my perspective (and I am one-eyed) is that the Storm was slowing it down all game, and we didn’t get as many as we deserved.

What we need to learn is that early season ‘crackdowns’ and sending people to the bin for repeated infractions has been forgotten by this time of the season. Teams like the Storm (and the Roosters this weekend) are seasoned at playing the big end of season games and know that you can get away with lots more this time of year. It might be cynical, but given our referees are collectively so weak, it is a winning strategy and one that we need to accept and plan for.

Judiciary charges, Stephen Crichton is facing a weeks suspension, Luai, Hopwood, and Capewell are facing monetary punishments only.

That is a tactic we need to employ. For now I like him blasting the team we have another fortnight with Burton in the halves. Another 6 weeks with no Toó need to sort the backs out

Only Martin, Leota, Sorensen, Hopgood, Tago and Eusinhuth appear to have escaped criticism on here after yesterday’s disappointment.

I thought Eusinhuth had a decent game, particularly given he hasn’t figured for a little while now.

This weeks team selection should be very interesting with Crichton now unavailable due to suspension.

And Munster kicked Martin in origin and got a fine. Then followed it up with kicking a Warriors player the following week and guess what....another fine! Double standards
I think its Crittas third contrary conduct charge and i believe thats why its now a game. One would assume that Munster is on thin ice and his next charge results in a game also.

Its not excusable, but f**k me the storm play on the limit all the time. Munster is holding the waistband of Crittas shorts as he is trying to quickly get to his feet and you can see its the niggle that gets to him and he lashes out to ensure he gets up.

He is a grubby prick and he continually allowed to do these things so frustrating

What a joke. Munster haskicked how many people for no time off the field. Someone kicks him once and suddenly kicking is worth a suspension despite it not even being a kick but trying to get tohisfeet for a plattge ball while Munster holds him down
every Munster kick has been intentionally done while hes on his feet kicking out in anger.

Yeah but thats where we need to be. Obviously mot kicking blokes but we need to match melbourne for the niggle.

Its why the sharkies had them measured back in 2016 era. They matched them for the niggle and the storm couldnt handle it.

We saw in origin what happens to munster and co when they cope a littke bit..they csnt handke it and do stupid things.

Melbs will continue to do those things and it works to their advantage. Penrith need to match them in that department in a big game.

Its time to do something with Kikau, a guy with his athletic abilities and his consistent effort should not be hurting us so often defensively, the game got to fast for him to play on an edge all game the little guys out there love it when he rushes them they go straight past him with ease just like the halfback did yesterday, if he sticks an arm out an clocks someone high hes gone. Offensively we arent even using him well as a decoy now, we just expect to make catch and passes most centres struggle with and which he only makes 10 percent of the time. He's a f**king beast f**k the skill shit and decoys off and put him in the middle for stints and tell him to smash anything that moves. One good game in five is nowhere near good enough, there is a reason most here are talking about letting him go when his contract is up. Honestly it boggles my mind we wont try something with him. A guy with his gifts should not be struggling to make an impact.
