Re: 1st Semi Final vs Roosters @ AAMI Park

Not a bad start, but I have no idea why the defensive intensity is there for the first 3 or 4 tackles and then non-existent on the last couple...

Re: 1st Semi Final vs Roosters @ AAMI Park

Ordinarily I'd be massively worried, but given it would just lead to the inevitable embarrassing shellacking by the Panthers the following week if we do beat the Roosters, I'm not all that fussed what happens to be honest. We're simply not good enough this year to be competitive in a PF or GF, so I'...

Re: 1st Semi Final vs Roosters @ AAMI Park

Exactly - Welch is captain FFS... as if CB will drop him. If a player was so hopelessly out of form and they just so happened to be a captain does this mean they are untouchable? Agree, it’s this ridiculous attitude in a results based sport that can and probably will be the difference between winni...

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium

I know 8 points would suggest we're still in it, but with all of the ball we coughed up, along with the penalties and repeat sets we gave away, this could get real ugly in the second half if the Broncos get an equal or better share of possession.

Average start by Grant... he should never have thrown that ball to Katoa.

Depending on the result, it's either being a realist or a pessimist. :-D

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium

Young keeping his spot over Reimis blows me away... I wonder if it's his discipline/hot head that is considered a liability by CB. Regarding Sims; I wouldn't have been disappointed if I never saw him wear a Storm jersey again, but let's just hope we see the best of Sims tonight given he wants a cont...

Re: Round 27 - Rest and Blood players

JT picking Sims as MOTM is a bit of a joke (although he was better than usual) - Moeroa was just as good as Sims, if not better, with less minutes.

Wishart should've rated a mention.

Re: Round 27 - Rest and Blood players

Very impressed with our young guys sticking to it for most of the game, particularly how they all lifted in defence while hot-head Reimis was in the bin. =D>

That was fun, despite Klown trying to ruin it for us.

Re: Round 27 - Rest and Blood players

Half time not good for us - the Broncos have their intensity back and look like they want it more than us currently.

Re: Round 27 - Rest and Blood players

Nikorima been the gem for me so far, haven’t seen much of him but he has been dangerous in attack and really solid on defence, surprised he hasn’t seen more 1st grade this season looks a perfect utility. I haven't been overly impressed with Nikorima when he's been given a chance previously, but it ...
