I can't believe we're playing this badly against the Broncos lol!

Our poor defence is letting us down - our attack doesn't exactly look too bad though.

I guess having 6 players backing up from Friday night is playing a part.

We seem to be lacking the spark we've had over the last fortnight.

With some hard work in the second half we can close the gap and hopefully come away with a narrow win.

I have never left a Storm Game early. Today I did.

That was a disgrace.

Probably true. See below
Today I did.
Untrue. I don't for one second believe you were at the game today. I'm not even convinced you have ever been to a Storm game.

Don't actually know much about Rugby League, do we?

It was just one of those games.
Rep players looked tired, especially Billy, but they tried hard. A few players went really well, a couple went pretty poorly and the timing was a little off. Handling was dreadful on a few occasions - Quinn should have had 3 - and there was no energy in defence. But all stuff which can be fixed. It's not as though the players have given up.

Kudos to Norrie and Duffie.
Smack upside the head for Inglis. Wake up to yourself lad; a couple of big hits does not make good defence. Stood up and embarrassed by Thaiday? Now that's a disgrace. It didn't even count as a missed tackle 'cos he didn't get close enough. :? And that was just one of many.

Overall: disappointed, but hardly wrist slashing time.

The Broncos are one of the worst teams in the competition. What does that say about our performance today??!!

Lets hope Folau is coming to the Rebels - at least that will give me something to look forward to at AAMI Park

billythekidslater.  Honestly you are a dead set tool.  But to more important matters, I expected the scoreline to be the opposite.  Izzy and Thaiday were damaging.  Izzy running length of the field was the lowest point of my day.  Matt Duffie length of the field was the  highlight.  This kid has been awesome for us.  20,000 crowd disappointed me I really thought we could pack it out, maybe Mothers day had something to do with it.  Next week we should give all the senior players a rest(they need it mentally) & play nsw cup players to see if we have any Duffie's out there for next year.

It had to take its toll sooner or later,

we are playing for no points , all this playing for pride talk will only get you so far ,

bellamy has relaxed with the video analysis and given  the players  a free license to chuck the ball around and enjoy themselves,

Today for the first time it showed i thought, they looked like team not commited to a tough hard game,

Loving  the stadium though , what a great place to watch league.
Go the Allblacks, Richmond , and the mighty Storm

Anyone else think the stadium is pretty average?

It's supposed to be "state of the art" Can someone please explain what's so state of the art about it? Is it the leaky roof, the cramped toilets, the narrow concourse etc etc?

I cant take this idiot billythekidslater anymore, I don't understand trolls, he/she must have no friends and sit on a computer all day making ridiculous statement for their own giggles.  What a waste of life.  The sad thing is he/she is probably a fully grown adult.  A child I could understand.

It's never been to a game or the stadium & watched the Channel 7 news for the posted info  :lol:

Is this a sign how much we will struggle next year? I mean we have two of our best players out i.e. Tolman and SMith and we will have to lose such high profile players next season to fit under the Cap.

Perhaps the golden run is finally coming to an end.

Oh well. Broncos just too good today. Impressed with Quinny and Duffman though.
