Re: Newcastle Knights vs Melbourne Storm at McDonald Jones Stadium, 5.30pm AEST

That was a real load of horses***.

Utterly trash. Sims should never play for the Storm again.

Too many rushed passes. Bad defence. Really annoyed.

He’s a total monster. He has to be in the 17 every week.

Re: Melbourne Storm vs Penrith Panthers - Round 18 - Friday 30/6/23 - Marvel Stadium - 8pm

That was atrocious. Forty-nine missed tackles.

Really annoyed with some of the efforts cleaning up kicks too.

Re: Melbourne Storm vs Penrith Panthers - Round 18 - Friday 30/6/23 - Marvel Stadium - 8pm

The kicking game is going to need to be a tonne better. The Panthers have this ability to really force teams to work out of their own end meaning when they receive from kicks they’re in prime field position. The good news is with the roof closed it’ll allow the Storm to play an expansive running game.

Re: RD 17 v Manly Sea Eagles JUNE 24 AAMI PARK

Thought after a poor first-half that Pezet was awesome. He’s got great vision.

Weird bench last night too - at one stage it was Wishart, Garlick and Sims so the middle forwards had to play bigger minutes.

Good to see the backs took pressure off them though with some really good runs out of the 20.

Need to just hold the pill. Eight errors in a half is horrific.

Re: Round 15 v Sharks at AAMI Park Sun 11 June

Apparently because he's played right wing before. He's coming off a very good game but very odd. As I've said before his reputation outweighs his actual performance and he'll always be in and around rep sides because of it. Also helps that he's a nice guy. It’s funny - he’s either absolutely sensat...

Re: Round 15 v Sharks at AAMI Park Sun 11 June

Loved how direct the attack was.

Hughes really hit the line at speed and passed right on contact causing all sorts of problems.

The forwards were excellent in contact - ran hard and straight.

Can’t think of a single player who had a bad game.

Re: Round 14 Cowboys v Storm Sun 4 June

I mean - it probably could’ve been a lot worse? I still maintain the team plays way too loose - often look for cheap off-loads and to go expansive off very little front-foot ball. The pack this year has been awful. They don’t seem to have the same intensity in contact in both attack and defence as p...

Re: BREAKING: Dragons disaster as Ryles reportedly rejects coaching job to join Storm

Kind of makes sense.

The Dragons’ roster is a mess and Hunt has spoken about his support for Griffin.

He returns to the Storm, with players and staff he’s worked with before, and gets the opportunity to potentially coach Munster, Grant and Hughes.

Re: RD 11 - Storm v Broncos @ AAMI Park (Thur 11 May)

That was a total mess.

On the plus side - Hughes seems to have turned a corner. I think the biggest issue is he’s far more dangerous when he’s making moves off broken play.

Thought Warbrick, Welch, Grant and Munster were good too.
