Round 5 | Storm 34-22 Knights @ AAMI Park | Fri March 30 @ 7.30pm

[EdLondon]

Would love to see Boyd get amongst it in the second half. Just seems down on confidence. He only had 1 good touch in that first half. Got to inject himself.

 

[Jobdog]

Our attack inside 20 is still ordinary. Looks unorganised and slow. We really could do with a good half. Kurt to the bench to share hooking duties.

In fairness we hardly had any attacking opportunities inside the Storm 20. The only one I can remember was Slater's trysaver on Uate in the right hand corner.

 

[Jono078]

Boyd is pissing me off.

Just about EVERYONE on here said he is one of the best fullbacks in the game, I never did (I did think he was a good fullback, but thought one of the best was a stretch).

Id call it right now and say he's been one of the shittest fullbacks this year, has offered f**k all to us.

 

[Nuffy]

Two errors. That's the difference. Incredibly frustrating.

Correct, two unforced errors.

Bennett will roast them and all will be okay

 

[Rusty]

Why are we going for the aerial bombage every set? We know Slater et al can catch? They have only contested one and it was McManus try. So frustrating.

I agree. Melb look so well drilled and so slick. They are all set plays though aren't they?

Kurt's passing has been average at best today. I think he'll inject himself into the game as we reach the 70 or so minute mark.

Edwards really hasn't shown me today why we should keep him in the side.

Kade looks good. Faas was okay and Cuthbo also looking alright.

If Costigan didn't drop that ball, I'd say he would have been the best forward out there tonight or close to it.

Melb's tackles are a piece of art. They can slow down the ruck, turn our players over and get their line set so well every set.

How good is Bedsy? Both Bedsy and Cam have been a little quiet but I'd say Cam's got one up on Bedsy with those amazing long field kicks.

Remember that intercept against the sharks? that was HUGE. he'll come good, just a little rusty and I think kids and mullen need to get him better ball.

 

[Yosh]

Slater is god...

 

[Yosh]

The melb kicking game is amazing...

 

[Jono078]

Seriously, come on wtf do you do?

 

[Yosh]

Just give melb the premiership now...

They score off 3 of our mistakes... Jeez melb are good..

 

[billy2]

that's bullshit - he pssed off the ground and forward.

 

[Frederick]

Hoffmans pass was forward off the ground. So bullshit

 

[Yosh]

Don't know how Hoffman's offload wasn't forward...

 

[Nuffy]

Come on, you are kidding

 

[Johns Magic]

What the f**k sort of a call was that? He just tossed that a foot in front of him.

Mind you, shit decisions or not, we are killing ourselves and don't deserve to win.

 

[Nuffy]

Refs giving them a saloon passage, what about the duffie drop!

 

[Nuffy]

Quinn a total grub.

 

[Yosh]

Jeez trying to give Boyd the benefit of the doubt but he has been poor tonight...

 

[otori]

A high late tackle on a player without the ball and he doesn't get marched?
