Correct. The article got the quote wrong.Bullucked wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 5:42 pmI'm happy to stand corrected but I believe Brandon said he would be happy for Cameron to carry him to another couple of rings (or words to that effect), not "I wouldn't want".

The hymn for Suli should be the poster of what the Melbourne Storm are
Where do I start
I felt sick all week all day all night ...then the game started and I felt even more sick at 0-22
I reckon I might have a heart attack or panic attack one of these days ....the minute the game finished I was jumping around my house like mad woman
I can not believe this team we have been so f**king lucky for so long with Cam Cooper and Billy but now we have another big 3 Rome Munster and Paps add cheese into that group and find some young wingers we are set for a couple of years
This year in Victoria has sucked but having storm play each week has been the best thing ever and winning the icing on the cake
It’s coming home
I can breathe now

I've had 36 hours to gather my thoughts, still buzzing. Many thoughts on the game that'll I'll share more on the podcast tonight.
Can't believe we've done it. This year has meant a lot to me, as I'm sure a lot of fans. Being stuck at home all week, one of the few things you had ot look forward to all week is watching Melbourne play. Without the Storm this year I don't know what would have happened to me! And to pull this off was incredible.
Congrats to the whole club! Amazing effort!
PS- I hate how everyone now in Australian calls clubs "organisations" after watching The Last Dance, we're not the US and we are a club!

Well I'll tell you what...I wish we didn't let that get down to the final play, but it was exhilarating once that scramble came to a halt with the realisation that we are premiers. It's a moment we can replay for years to come.
The game was very strange. While Gus dribbles a lot of nonsense, I did feel Panthers had a better hold on the game in the first 20 mins, but Suli's intercept was a massive turning point in the game. It's such a brave play to come so far and then to leap as high as he did, land then streak 70-80 metres, evading two tackle attempts.... It's his finest ever play, IMO. First half was capped off with the try to the skipper, was fairly confident then!
After Pap scored in the second half, I was dreaming of 40 or 50, but the bunker and the footy gods had other ideas. End of the day it doesn't matter if you win by 1 or 60, a premiership is a premiership!
That's the one many of us desperately wanted. While we've been dominate these past 5 years, to only claim one premiership from it would have been a massive injustice. 2 titles from 4 grand finals. In doing so, most likely sending Cam out a winner. Enjoy this one guys because you never know when we will be back!

Much of the second half is such a blur to me. For those who have rewatched the game did we create anything after the Suli bobble that could've put us up 30-0? Seemed like we got too conservative and it led to a chaotic finish.
That Suli bobble was a real missed opportunity to completely kill the Panther's spirit. Instead they go up field and score off a clear obstruction.
Even then I think if Brenko doesn't screw up that tackle on Crichton for their second try in the 69th minute, it doesn't get close.
