Finals Wk1 - Storm v Warriors

[Thunderstruck]

Oh man, the Hoff is off, knee injury!!  :(

[Thunderstruck]

What a relief, forward pass to who was it, Vatuvei? Storm got out of jail in that one. YAY! Tate got smacked!

[Thunderstruck]

Storm take 2 points for safety. DJ has funny sideburns 

[Thunderstruck]

Lima's off? looks injured, limping.

Oh yeah, game looks sold out. Packed with purple and blue all over.

[Thunderstruck]

Whoa Zappa! Zipped through the kiwis, taken down by Vatuvei or was it Mannering?. And three plays later he couldn't catch Cronk's kick right behind the goal line.

[Thunderstruck]

8-2, 6 minutes to half time, Storm seems to be only on 2nd gear, hopefully. Need to kick up another gear … Holy christ, Inglis just smothered whazzisname

[Thunderstruck]

Dangit, my battery's running out and ah crap, Ropati just scored on the corner. Told you Storm needs to kick another gear. *shakes head*

8-6 in to the half, KTC, please don't slot it in. Won't be back after the half, no plug in sight.

Oh yeah, that wazzisname was half Witt. Ah shoot, witt slots it in. 8 all Half Time.

Goddammit Melbourne, usually when I have a bad feeling you guys proved me wrong. Why NOW!??? 3 MINUTES TO GO AND YOU GUYS COULDN'T HOLD ON TO THE BALL! DAMN YOU!

AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!
where do we play next week?

[Insomniac]

Worst finals performance I can remember since 30-0 loss to Bulldogs!  Played like a bunch of f**king losers, and deserve to be out of the finals... Broncos will absolutely smash us next week unless we can find some passion.

[Insomniac]

We play Brisbane in Brisbane apparently.

[Super Cronk]

FUC KING disgraceful.

Sack Cam as kicker....i dont care if lima takes up the duties...and is damn embarrassing having a kicker like that. Smith is an awesome player...but the worst most inconsistent  goal kicker ive ever seen.

Izzy let in two tries...his defence was horrible.

That ref should be shot!! cam reaching out and taking the players arm, warrior knocked on but no the ref says cam touched the ball then they score the next play!!!

The warriors should have never even came close to our 40 metre line let alone score a try at the end there. izzy's lazy out reached arms and zappa wasnt strong enough to contain vatuvei.

Stupid penalties all bloody night...laying around the play the ball, going high, giving away penalties on the friggin last tackle!!!!

Why the hell did we persist with stupid bombs to izzy's side? try something different for a change and pass the fu.cking ball.

no way we will win the comp playing like that. bloody awful

[routy21]

Izzy's defence was horrible.  He has no pace of the mark.

Devastated about the result today..........

I think we really missed Sika's impact off the bench today.  Blair is really looking second rate

[storm_rhinos]

that was heartbreaking and we need to see if we have a forward pack next week what with DJ hoofy and Lima, boy we missed the go forward in the second half, and dropping off too many tackles, just letting them pass the ball.

I was real worried about Vatuvei running over the top of Turner, which he did lucky we had some back up. Well if we lose next week it will only be the second time back to back loses in 2 years, but then i reckon we can make the final if we play the flake.

[Super Cronk]

no heart at all today. I agree routy21, izzy has no pace at all and his defence was waaay off...i also dont understand why in attack izzy sometimes switches with zappa yet in defence zappa is left on the wing....

Inglis was talking himself up, mundine style all week, but went MIA today. There were times when we needed to spread the ball and throw it through hands but instead resorted to one out hit ups and bombs to the corners. That shows that we just didnt have anything!!! we are better then that ffs.

i just cant explain it....we need to drasticaly change something if we are going to go further in the comp. And that is not an over-reaction! We got beat by the knights 2 weeks ago, then smashed a bottom of the table team....then got out played by the warriors at OUR home ground. thats just un acceptable.

[Play the ball]

Not long back from the game,

this game worried me soon as we found out we were playing them,

They always seem to trouble us,

Their record against us over the last few years is 3 - 3,

yep, they are our bogey side it seems, and they know it,

would like to see a replay before I say too much,

But we played pretty dumb today, gave away way too many penalties.

Gee its going to be tough from here.

Hate to say it, but we have probably blown it, big time.
