Good win by the boys.  GI was great, Bill was just Bill - and by that I mean friggen amazing.  He is unbelievable this year - great to watch.
Hoffy really is out of form.  I saw he is one of the leading contenders for most overrated in the players poll that comes out this week.  Going by this year, I'm not all that surprised, although he earned his rating with his form of the last couple of years. 
Coop and Cam had their kicking boots on too - finding space and making them come off their own line a lot.  Really controlled the game well.
Very happy with the win in what was clearly a danger game at Campbelltown.  Bring on the Dragqueens next week, and we are officially 2nd now!!!
Storming our way to glory!

Im sure its on purpose, they probaly feel GI can lose his focus alot easier.
I got the feeling that Belamy is going out of his way to give Ingliss those wraps.

Really, I thought he's just responding to questions and then does his best to play them down, "yeah he's good..but" Boofa even done the same thing.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, Craig knows the best way to handle him.

....your scary nacho.  :lol:

Pretty good win...thought defence in first half was sloppy, we missed about 30 odd tackles i think, which isnt good at all.

attack was awesome with GI and Slater on fire. Cam and cronks kicking game, particularly in the second half was brilliant. Boofa had a real good game too...and bet was celebrating long and hard into the night....probably with bunnies  :lol:

i think we still need to fix up some things like defence and discipline round the play the ruck...then we will be at our best. still unbeatable at the moment but still not perfect yet.

Quinn's nose was on the opposite side of his face not pretty, an ambulance left the ground as we were waiting for the boys!

And yes, my muscles are telling me today that I played up last night at the game, I was singing, dancing and screaming STOOOOOOOOOOORM on the hill all night, had an absolute ball and as usual the boys were good value after the game! I have a very husky sexy voice today too! LOL :D

Boofa loved our signs, and the boys were all needing their ice baths, they stayed locally at Rydges, so didn't have any bus trips to make other than to the airport today!

Cheers
Bunnies & Stormboy :D :D :D
Go the Mighty Melbourne Storm and the Mighty South Sydney Rabbitohs!!

Definitely need the boys to be fresh in September.  I suspect a few will be told to take the week off during the Worriers game.
