Round 23 - Storm vs Titans

[yourhero]

25 mins in 35% possession. Munster - “I know! Kick on the first tackle!”.

Brilliant.

[yourhero]

Stop the game when the Storm have attacking momentum to let the Titans player get to marker

Quick tap, Peachy tackles Munster 5 metres offside, no sin bin

Everyone can see what the f*ck is happening here.

[Insomniac]

I've witnessed some seriously shit refereeing in my time (hello 2006 GF), but this is going to another level.

Great decision to bench Croft. The team is going really well

[blazza18]

Continue to think we go as Munster goes.

25 mins in 35% possession. Munster - “I know! Kick on the first tackle!”.

Brilliant.

I thought exactly the same thing. Brilliant if it had have come off but not really the time and place for it.

I thought Smith, Kamikamica and King were all good from the bench.

[blazza18]

Only the Titans but good signs on the right side not looking terrible defensively.

Paps roaming around the field for 80 minutes is such a threat for us. Hughes was fine at halfback. To me it's an easy decision to stick with that but will Bellamy think the same thing?

Going to really need that effort off the bench. Kamikamica was awesome. Huge effort after being a bit poor last week.

It also shows how incredibly important Smith coming off the bench is.

I still feel that we might need an extra prop instead of running a second-rower off there - hopefully King can fill that hole.

[yourhero]

In limited opportunity, King was very good. Had purpose in his runs. Good debut mate!

Manly’s win today was a bad result for us

Hmmm, did we really? We made a great attempt at shooting ourselves in the foot.
Kenny's stellar form continues.
Someone made reference to the 2006 GF, that was more the video ref than on field. Still pissed about that one
Of course nowadays the bunker can get involved whenever they like and Peachy's off side could easily have been called from off field. Disgusting effort

Craig postgame implied he may well stick with that - he certainly did not say Croft would come straight back in,

Not good at picking up sarcasm obviously

Given your assessment was correct (first time for everything), I'm sure we can then all agree that you're not good at knowing what "sarcasm" means.

On a completely different tact, thank god for the Storm as Joel Wilson let me and all of Australia down badly last night. (And we complain about referees making decisions)
