Has that been the most boring half of footy all season?
So much stop and go, the surface is no doubt playing a part in that.
 
All we need to do is hold the ball and complete our sets. Storm are throwing nothing at us in attack. Should’ve known Storms game plan is to go grubby - chicken wing and grappling around the neck.
 
Winning the penalty count and missed less tackles than storm

11/20 sets completed. If we hold on to the ball we can still win
 
This place is hilarious at times.
Credit whee due, the storm have come out to prove they're still top dogs atm.
On the plus sides for us,
1 we've had no ball.
2 we've defended well.
3 possession will swing.
 
We haven't thrown much at them either when attacking their line to be honest.
We've had what? 2 sets inside their 20? We need to complete our sets, our winning streak has relied so much on completing sets, winning the forwards battle and playing footy off the back of that. I don't think it's entirely fair to question our efforts in attack when we haven't exactly had ample opportunity to attack.
 
Browns half time address.

HOLD THE F'ING BALL!

Knights not going too bad, 12 behind at half time with all our errors and leg ups we gave them.

Were still in this is we come out and actually play football.

Exactly. We out-enthused the Roosters and the Rabbits, even bashed them almost. If I'm Bellamy, I'm doing exactly what he has done. Give it to us, take all of Pearce's time away and see how they cope. Not that great, evidently.

We're only down 12-0 and have been attacking like absolute aids. We are still in this.

and I f***ing hate Cameron Smith.
 
Let hope the storm dont come up and find their groove otherwise they might but a score on us.

Hope we can come out and play like we have the past 6 weeks.
