Commentary was just embarrassing. They should never have Lewis & Lockyer commentating/on the same game, especially a Broncos game - too much Brisbane bias. Hadley has been bad all season, he was seeing things too. He thought that O'Neill had knocked it on when Slater scored his first.

with our great points differential we are basically 4 wins in front.

Nice place to be at this stage of the season, especially with some tough away games coming up

For a guy that really struggled to make an impact in his first two seasons at the club I think he would be a priority signing next year. Everyone talks about the fullbacks, 5/8ths, halfbacks and hookers as being the crucial players, but lock is probably the most underrated and unnoticed positions and every club needs a good #13. I never thought the Storm would find another Dallas Johnson but the way he has performed all season, he deserves another contract.

Also, I hope Norrie stays out of the team from now on and even though he was injured I was glad he wasn't in the team, we don't need him anymore and he's past his use by date. I reckon Greenfield (when he recovers from his concussion) is a good replacement. Keep Jaiman Lowe away from the team, he is seriously ill-disciplined and the penalty he gave away for a face massage in the first half was just stupid.


Channel 9 conveniently didn't replay Lowe getting elbowed in the head which prompted his reaction. Just like in Origin when they never replayed Greg bird pushing over Matt Scott which started the fight. Great win by the boys, Jason Ryles has been buy of the season for us, takes all the tough hitups, bends the line every single time. Roosters must be scratching their heads. Shame about greenfield getting knocked out look strong in his first 2 hitups.

Great game in terrible conditions. At least it wasn't raining like earlier in the day but the wind was bad and bitterly cold.

Still, I'd rather be at the ground in the freezing cold than at home listening to Ray "Peanut Brain" Hadley's crap call of the game.

34 to 10 considering that Smith & Cronk both spent 10+ minutes on the bench was a good result. Good to see the great tries by Slater & Lowrie!

I just wished that the Storm would get rid of the ground announcer, Storm D (a couple of times crucial plays weren't shown on the screen as the Storm D graphic remained up for too long) and the twitter crap on the bottom of the screens (seriously, if I wanted to know what was being said on twitter I'd use my mobile).

Likewise !! Though when I got home I still watched the 'midnight' replay :?
The riverside 'after party' finished around 11pm ;D
Was intending to watch the bunnies but Storm v Broncos on first - Then I watched the bunnies 8)

And how many times did we hear the "Poor understrength Broncos" line trotted out ::)

Sadly like the 'BattleCam' gimic it's a consequence of having a CEO who is ex IT & thinks it's 'clever marketing' :?

I can't stand this Storm D initiative, what's the point of it? Why do we need to follow American sports and start up a dee-fence chant?

Bring back Vossy, now!!! He gives the commentary some life and excitement and he is not at all biased (in fact, a lot of his best calls have been Storm games). Hadley sounds disinterested and boring and speaks in a very flat and monotone voice (especially when Billy scored his second try).

Agree with the comments about Hinchy's game, really difficult decision who to vote for in the members' player of the year between him and Lowrie - went with Lowrie, only a bee's knuckle in it though.

the friggen broncos brainiac in front of us was saying all night..."you're only playing our B team".

He was obviously sooooooooooooooooooo ignrant he didn't realise that Storm were missing Norrie, Manu, Proctor and Norrie from the best 17 at the club.

Thaiday and Hodges were big outs (big Petro less so) for them but I would take 2 back rowers and 2 props back in the team EVERY day of the week
