Buderus in the media jumping on the back of Gallen's whinging, talking about how slow the ruck speed will be Monday night due to our "wrestle".
F*ck I hate this infantile game sometimes.
You don't need a crystal balk to predict this one... The referees, much like the entire NRL administration is a reactionary, amatuer mess... Knights by 18 with us penalised multiple times early on for "slowing down the ruck". This will set a precedent early in the game where the Knights will be afforded quick play the balls all night. Don't expect the same courtesy to be given to us.

Two stories in the Sydney press today about "our" wrestle. I did not see the game and I have just watched the first half. I thought both teams were doing the same thing in the ruck. The media does not like doing positive stories on Storm. Even before we had played the Sharks there were stories in the Sydney Morning Herald about the Knight coming to Melbourne for the first time since the Alex indecent. If Munster played for a Sydney club he would be a new fullback star of the future. It is like the media has all got together to make sure everything written and say about Storm is bad.
The same thing happens every year at this stage of the season.
Outside of Tohu getting away with doing it all night (which I found hilarious) I didn't really think we were doing much different to what the Sharks were doing.

Very happy with how Glasby is going. Does a lot of good things without getting much recognition. Finucane will be a loss but I'm pretty confident we'll be well served with Hinchcliffe and K Bromwich. Looking forward to NAS coming back in also. No one rates the Knights at this time of year which is pretty dangerous for us if you recall what happened a couple of weeks ago against the Tigers.

That's crazy.... hopefully we put a big score on them - maybe they can offer the counseling after the game too.
Wow can the Sydney teams stoop any lower.. Counselling PLEASE what a sob story,
Sharks get thrashed again by Storm and the nrl`s 2 biggest grubs complain about the tackling... anything to take the media spotlight off how bad the sharks played
