Sounds like it was a damn good game but very frustrating with poor calls by the refs nearly costing us the game.

Sounds like another pisspoor crowd in rugby league "heartland".

Great team effort. Best feeling i've had in a long time. Refs were so bad and Manly whinged and whinged. Big moments in the game were from us. Cam cleaning up 2 kicks in last 10 mins were all class. Well done Storm we deserved this one.

Hahaha your joking me right? You dead set have to be kidding me. the refs gave YOU a massive upper hand.

E.g.

1) The duffie knock on
2) the Cherry Evans try
3) O'Neill getting taken out
4) The holding down in the tackles
5) The Cam smith forward pass
6) the penalty for obstruction.

Must I go on?

Brilliant lima lima lima duck win by the boys. It's hard enough to win at the shit hole against the scum but even harder when the refs did everything to keep them in the game. Very very happy now bring on the Dogs!

Oh Cherry...I don't usually bite...it takes a lot to stir me up.....

but seriously...put your other eye in....take off your rose colored glasses or just plain acknowledge that the Ref's were with the home crowd tonight.

You'll earn a LOT more respect if you are honest in your appraisal of the Refs

The officials were equally bad,so it evened out.
Their midden to defend - ours to conquer - We did.

Everything else is just Chaff in the wind - RIGHT :twisted:

For starters; lima lima lima duck Glenn "he was going to hit me first, sir" Stewart. He got what was comingto him.

lima lima lima duck the refs for trying to even up for the Brookvale ferals. That decision to award DCE'S try was a joke. Any other ground in the NRL and its refs call at best.

lima lima lima duck Jamie Lyon the whinging whining maggot.

In short; lima lima lima duck Manly.

Great win. Did well to come back from that deficit. Would love to have been a fly on the wall at halftime.

Again; lima lima lima duck Manly!

Our boys were great tonight. that try from paul simpleton for manly was a doozy.Least it didn`t cost us the game. if it would have been any other video ref it would have been NO TRY.

Really happy to get the 2 points. Up there, any win is a good win and to do it despite some questionable ref calls, makes it all the sweeter.

Some worrying signs though. O'Neill and Duffie were torn apart constantly down that right wing. Missed almost as many tackles as they made. Were good at times in attack though.

Vave had his worst game for the year by a mile. And Rory once again gave us very little off the bench.

Proctor and Manu will be better for the run though.
