Round 25 v Storm @ AAMI Park

[Fangs]

Oh what a night.

Storm fans were filthy. It was great.

They still play the cowbell even when they lose after the game. Idiots.

Didn't notice him much live but Christian C featured heavily in the highlights. Very good performance (finally...).

Just what we needed. A gritty win against tough opposition. And if we get to play the Dragons week 1 then we are a chance of going deep into the finals.

That's pretty insane. Everyone wants to discount it because Storm injuries but everything else was against us here.

Still had danger and our defence of late wouldn't of handled it

 

[franklin2323]

MCL’s aren’t that major, you don’t lose strength & speed like an ACL.

I hope he does improve though, he needs to if we’re going to be a premiership force.

Still missed 7 games. Then origin took its toll. Been solid enough despite it all

For him to do more with the ball it takes out Kikau and Blake from the action.

He should just support guys to use his running game. Let Maloney lead this is the time he shows his worth

Nathan showed great vision with that kick for Blake. Certain people in here won't like that

I believe Fitler said Waqa called for the ball.

I was keeping my eye out on TV to try find you in the crowd Fangs. Were you that grey haired guy in the Panthers jersey going crazy that they showed on the highlights reel?

He should absolutely focus on his running game, that’s kinda my point. He isn’t a natural first receiver. Whoever our other half is needs to be the main controller.


The try Cleary set up with his kick to Blake was more because of his determination & his running than the kick.

He’s a bloody good footballer.

Full credit to Chricton here. The defensive effort is just as good as the try, his only option was to go for the ball. Even if he’d dropped it, it still would’ve been an excellent play. Denied the certain try.

Unpopular opinion perhaps, but I felt the try could’ve been scored on the inside. But Cleary was relentless in getting to the ball.

 

[Abacus]

You sound a bit like MX there. I wouldn't care if it was the under 9's. We beat the Storm and not only that it is the best the side has played in months, overcoming a first half penalty barrage and two players binned. The danger was from the ref.

Lol, you've spent your time running in circles to agree with my original post:

Good step forward from prior weeks overall.

Come on Froggy, try to keep up.

Yeah it was good decision making. He looks better now that he had a rest in reserves.

 

[OldPanther]

The best part of this was that 3 tries were scored in front of my dad. Bought the old fella 2 tickets and he took my sister.

Griffin has never beaten Bellamy? Score one for Ciraldo!

Damn. 1 - 0.

 

[GongPanther]

I was just watching the highlights and I thought that the storm player that got held by Mansour was well in front of the kicker anyway. I was also fuming at the number of forward passes that they got away with.

Just now watching the replay of that incident. What makes this ruling even a bigger farce is if you watch it in normal speed. The bunker blinkered themselves by concentrating more on the slow motion replay,which made it look much worse than it was. Not to mention that the Storm player had absolutely no chance in getting to the ball.

The rulings in this game were suspiciously diabolical.

If they get another coach to replace Ciraldo,he'll be 100% V Bellamy,and providing we play them again in the finals,he might improve it to 2-0.

The one where you said they were a reserve grade side?

 

[GongPanther]

He’ll resume the same postion when he has to answer to barb for losing the minor premiership

Who is Barb?

 

[OldPanther]

Who is Barb?

Smithler's wife.

If you’re the old panther, what does that make your dad?!
