Taking the **** mate. Not needed.

 

[slotmachine]

Numbers from our forwards make ugly reading.

 

[Tubby]

Brandon Smith will be the future mainstay as Kiwis Number 9 when Luke retires. He is class.

Isaac Luke should've retired 3 years ago

 

[danknights]

Bit hard to make metres when you are defending for 30 of the 40 minutes.

 

[slotmachine]

Maybe they should hold the ball.

 

[Tubby]

Defence is gutsy, good to see Barnett ripping in again. Grind it out until Fitz gets back on then start playing some footy, i give them a chance

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Maybe they should hold the ball.

and not give away 6000 penalties

Well 10 points the difference at halftime and it could of been much worse, Hopefully the second half is better

- Possession is 60%-40% Melbourne's way
- Knights completing at 73% the Storm at 86%
- Knights 58 runs for 403m which is way behind the Storm's 101 runs for 860m
- 3 line breaks for the Storm and 1 for us
- The Storm with just 1 offload, We have 4
- 176 tackles for the Knights and we have missed just 8, The Storm have made 115 tackles and missed 11
- The Storm have forced 3 dropouts and we are yet to force a dropout
- Penalty count is lopsided, 7-3 to the Storm
- Both teams have made 4 errors
- Most metres by a forward for us is Josh Starling with 38m
- Only 1 player has 50m or more for the Knights and that's Rossy with 77m

 

[Battler]

I'm undeniably biased, but geez I'm sick of these marginal calls going against us. Feeney's ball wasn't forward. I've seen at least half a dozen more questionable balls from Melbourne, either from dummy half or first receiver. I get that we're sh!t and don't deserve any favours, but it would be nice if we didn't go into games guilty until proven innocent.

So we hear they had a week of to freshen up..
They say they are prepared for the storm and fired up...

And play like ship and get dominated in the middle and on the edges.

What excuses do they have?

None.

 

[MattyM]

Where's the team that played Canberra? I want them back. This game is aids.

and not give away 6000 penalties

They would have let in 10 tries without giving away those penalties

 

[Grandpa Joe]
