Yes, but we can't influence the refs :(

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium

Just a thought. In 1999 we won 16 of 24 games. We finished third. We lost the Qualifying final to St George and were well beaten. I don't think any of us thought we were a chance after getting towelled up at OP. Storm then went on to win the next two finals and the Grand Final. So maybe, just maybe,...

The only one of our forwards with over 100 m was Nelson.

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium

Ok, to be fair we as Storm fans have been spoiled. We've missed the finals 3 times in 25 years - an absolutely spectacular run. We have nothing to complain about. I'm absolutely greatful. But f*ck that was disappointing! Yep. This is true. We've been very lucky to see our team play so many finals o...

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium

Dreadful. Upside is Broncos can't win the comp - they weren't good, we were terrible. Grant - spent too much time trying to grub it up and not enough time trying to play footy. Hughes - didn't look fit, not his best game. Munster - is he the new Dane Gagai? Superstar in origin, average in club games...

If Storm never try a short kickoff again it will be too soon.
After all the times Munster has messed them up, Paps says, "hold my beer".

Re: Milestone Thread 2023

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from Thursday night's squad against the Broncos I think every player in Storm's line-up except Josh King has played QCup this season and is eligible to play in QCup finals. I'd also love to know total number of first grade games experience in that side. Must be right dow...

Re: Round 27 - Rest and Blood players

Not often I feel sorry for an opposition player but I feel a little for Piakura. Reckon he's a good kid and hasn't done a lot wrong. Yet finds himself on report 3 times lol. Deserved the sin bin on at least 2 of the 3 reports. Should buy himself a lotto ticket with how lucky he was not to be binned...

Re: Round 27 - Rest and Blood players

What’s the plus side to winning this game? Losing ensures we can stay in camp at Brisbane, play a team we have a great record against at a ground we never lose at, or win and finish in the same position but have to travel to Penrith and play a team who has embarrassed us twice in the last few weeks...

Re: Dragons vs Storm, Sat 7.35pm at WIN Stadium

Honest question With all the love floating around for Paps does anyone honestly think he stops the Dragons tonight scoring 28 points? I don't think so. Yes, I think with Paps there they score a couple of those tries, but not all 5. The biggest thing we are missing with Meaney at the back is directi...

Re: Milestone Thread 2023

I get very frustrated with the lack of fact checking from the club. I've actually reached out a couple of times through the years and offered to proof read for them but never heard back. You only need to look at the article they've put up with our origin players through the years (last year and thi...

Laughably bad penalty.
