Guys you can't run behind your own man. This wasn't a pass play with a dummy runner, cronk dummied to a guy hitting the angle and ran behind him. You can't do that in either code
-
-
We can't unlock Melbourne here, frustration and errors inevitable
-
@mariner4life no defenders were affected IMO
-
@mariner4life if you say so.
Id have to go back and have another look, but can't be effed. -
Warriors showing we're a mile from the required standard. Season is done
-
Seriously the NRL season should be Origin; the GF; and the Cowboys v the Broncos. That's all you need
-
Another fucking extra time thriller for Broncos and Cowboys. JT kicks the winner 21-20.

Watched the game at Mt Smart in a mutha-fucker downpour.
Some thoughts:
- I couldn't see shit in the first half. Rain, rain, hail, rain.
- When I could see, I thought the Warriors would win in the end. They battled tough but....
- The Storm are the New England Patriots of the NRL. Cam Smith is Tom Brady. Without him the Storm would be a mid-ladder team.
- Just like the Pats, Melbourne do a lot of little dirty things like holding back players in a kick chase, deliberately standing in the way of the play-the-ball.
- Nasty head knock for RTS. He's becoming the new Matthew Ridge for the Warriors and that's NOT GOOD.
- Albert Vete and Charlie Gubb are really ineffective. Need James Gavet in there and Ben Matulino back healthy.
- Bunty Afoa is developing into a good secondrower. Played the whole 80 minutes, made 50 tackles, ran hard with the ball, does all the little things right.
- Sam Lisone is going to have a Solomone Kata-type break through this season. Dude's a beast.
- Ken Maumalo had a good night under the high ball. I don't think Manu Vatuvei will get his spot back.
- $5 to the subeditor who makes a good pun about the fact the Storm won in a storm.

When i saw the weather forecast I knew that would play into the hands of the Storm ,
80 minute arm wrestles are their bread and butter , they seem to do it week in week out in this long season , tick off the wins with little fanfare , another day another dollar

You clearly couldn't see ....
Also, Cronk was waaaaay more influential than Smith in this match - the guy is bit unheralded in comparison to his origin teammates.

You obviously couldn't see anything as well. Smith is the mastermind in that team and Cronk works off that. Every play-the-ball, Smith was controlling the team's attack ala Tom Brady. It is sort of what we expected Luke to be doing for the Warriors but Johnson is again being made to do all the organising.
