i thought we did well, but it did look rushed in attack...it looked like we panicked and went to one out stuff.
Our defence wasnt bad either, one try was due to zappa/izzy rushing in to much and the other was one of those tries when the ball goes through 4-5 sets of hands and we just couldnt tackle the guy with the ball.
the most telling part was when lima was sent off. we scored a try and seemed to gather momentum in that period.

Good call.steaming stormer wrote: I reckon Geyer did a really good job on Hodges. Inglis gave him a bit of space, but Boof shut him down well.
Fus was awesome, and Manu really showed how much we missed him last week!
As for Smith's grapple, I don't think there was a second movement to the head/neck, but i'd like to see it again. I thought Jeremy Smith may be in more trouble for the 'chicken wing', but they let the St George bloke off last week for the same thing, so who knows. Got a nervous wait though!
How good was Crocker!!
I actually thought we played really well, but couldn't crack the line. From about the 10 min mark of the first half, we dominated, but the Broncos defence was awesome.
Get out of jail card used though boys... starting to look like 99.
Am I the only one who reckons Smith has nothing to worry about?
if we can appeal and get one week, then all good.
i repeat - we will beat the sharks next week.
2012 premiers. Legit.

from what the commentators on nine were saying he would have too many carry over points, if he gets a certain grade then he will miss atleast 2 games. early plea or not.
but no i think he does have to worry about it. but only coz of his previous offences, the incident alone wouldnt be cause for a suspension its the stupid point ssystem that will be the problem.

points only come into it though if it's enough to get charged. I have a feeling he'll be ok
Storming our way to glory!

A game worthy of both a final & the venue.Still lopsided comments from 9's talking heads :x
Wonder what happened to penalties against the Broncos for laying on in tackles & arms around the throat,(classic grapple) ? Maybe Rob Finch instructed the officials to "watch Storm players only" :roll:
I keep hearing how Storm 'aren't playing well' - God help our opponents when they do

We deserved to win, we were denied a few times over the line, had plenty of the ball.. didn't have much go our way.Super Cronk wrote: OH YEAH!!!! whooooooooooooooooooo STOOOOOOOOOOORM!!!!
Now with that being said:
we didnt derserve a win...didnt derserve to get with-in 2 points even! Lima and fusi were awesome!!! izzy made for last week...cam was good. but it was far from impressive performance from the boys.
Cam will be gone for sure next week....who comes in for him? aitken to hooker? but russ sux
Having a guy sin binned for THAT? give me a break.
The smith "grapple" looked worse than it was imo. grabbed him around the chin but when he went backwards his arm was around his chest. Hopefully he gets off.. I can already hear the Sydney media having a cry about it if he does.

Voice is still croaky - I have to learn not to scream during the game
I had to watch the replay too because once GI doved over the line, I basically lost it

Boofa's reaction is priceless. He just looked around and could not believe what happened.
Also Bellyaches, Mooks and Co. reaction in the box was memorable too.

Just found this website after just catching the game on replay over here in England. I'd like to say hi to everyone and say COME ON MELBOURNE. What a game. I thought we were gone several times but somehow we did it surely no one is going to stop us now?

Fox news is pushing it (a susspension) hard.storm_rhinos wrote: depends if he gets graded - the judiciary do seem to treat finals differently and sometimes let things go - be a big call to kick probably the best player in the game from the showpiece....and its interesting that the NRL news doesnt menition it in the wrap up - they often do something like'XXX is at risk after doing XXX' .....
we can beat the flake with or without him, but Manly or warriors will be harder.
I reckon its a storm - warriors final
If Cam does get done then try something different - put Billy at hooker - GO to full back and Boofa at 6 - shake it up
Leave Billy a FB. and Geyer a Centre.
Haven't we any other chioces?????
