[slotmachine]

Soft

We got hammered with poor calls this half. Disappointing that ref decided this game tonight

 

[Joel]

Look it might be a loss but I genuinely think this will build our character for the season. Not too mad at this result.

Cummins had a shocker but errors cost us

Not the result we wanted but still had a great start to the season, Bring on the Broncos next week !!

The ref has taken a lot away from the game today. Klemmer got ran into if it benefited the storm it would have been a penalty knights. Very poor call. I also thought vunivalu slipped into edrick's hips and wasn't hit high.

It would have been a nail biting finish.

I don't usually say this but the xxxxxxx refs are cheats … It didn't cost us the game our first half did but they made sure we didn't have a chance to win it .

Its a unlucky penalty but it’s a penalty every day of the week. Always has been ruled that way whether the attacker slips or not.

Ponga made 3 bad mistakes in the first half so he is human and Ese,ese made two shockers as well. I was going off and yelling get him off and OBrien listened and took him off lol.

I’m not too bothered at all by that game. It’s no riddle what went wrong. It’s one less game against the storm and we’ll be a lot better for several reasons come Thursday.

Ponga butchering a 5 on 1 was the crucial point I think

Thought Sione and Mann were good.

Ha ha ha ha. That was very bad.

Ref didn't cost us the game, but certainly ruined what would of been a good last 10 minutes.
Couple of bombed attempts in the second half, but still a great 40 minutes. Too bad we gifted them an 18 point headstart.

Our first half lost us the game. Pretty good effort from referee Smith in the 2nd half. We won all our games on ruck speed and playing footy. None of which we could do tonight.

Storm player not being binned before half time, Lee Penalty, and Klemmer penalty were all LOL penalties from a weak ref, we had storm on the rack until he got them back into it.

I havn't seen a replay but from what I saw edrick's upper body (i.e. arms) contacted his chest and then he sort of slid into his hips. The Klemmer one was horrible.

I don’t agree with you. That call was ********.

Not our day but the boys kept trying till the end.
How we back up next week will show a lot about our character.
