Yea I think only going down by 10 with the way we played and how terrible the refs were is somewhat a positive we can take out of the game.

I just want to see the real Melbourne Storm team play. We haven't been that since the first 2 months of the season.

I think most people realise the love affair the NRL/Channel 9 are having with Souths atm. Also fans are over the inconsistent refereeing we continue to get week in week out.

I doubt the media give two shits about it either.

Refereeing cost us a chance of winning the game. Whether we weren't the better team or not doesn't matter. We win that game if the officiating was average at best.

I'm not even angry after the loss. I'm upset at how terribly unprofessional the sport I love is.

Widdop is rusty but he rarely makes the correct pass in the right situation. Always has been a better runner than playmaker. He needs to see the gap and trust himself.

Everything we apparently did in the first 20 minutes, Souths did in the next 20 mins and then some but we still aren't getting the calls. We should have around 10 penalties in the first half. And if Waqa was a Souths player, Shane Hayne gives that a try.


That said, we've been terrible.

Telecrap is reporting our only change is Widdop in Finch dropped. Guess we'll know around 7pm.

I reckon Widdop will play. Mahe is usually always with the team as a cover for the backs.

Hope that's not accurate. We need some big boys to contain the Rabbits roll-on through the middle. I would even consider starting Tohu and having Hinchy come off the bench . Yes! Have been wanting this to happen for awhile now. I'm really nervous about game tonight. Hopefully the real Melbourne Sto...

Serious ? Dammit. He better not be dropped.

I think Garbutt gets a spot somewhere in the full strength 17. He's too good to keep down in the Q Cup. Also interested to see how Kaufusi goes in the pre season.

Nah only one will play.

I hope Bellamy changes things up with the starting side though, we can't afford to give Souths a head start.

Yea If it were a top 25 contract I'm sure we would have heard about it from the Storm side. I'm not sure if they've even acknowledged it at all.

Pretty keen to see him make the step up. Lol at Brisbane, lose another talent right under their nose.

Yea that's a fair call. I was only looking at it from a cutting players POV. It really is just a terrible spot right now at Parra. A lot of problems on and off the field. I don't know how they're going to sell the place to a new coach.
