I assume you mean the tackle. That was a crazy call.<br><br>
Warriors playing better in the 2nd 40, but the Storm defense is pretty solid. -
14 all with 5 to play. Goooooo WARRIORS!
-
Cronk nails the DG. Fuck.
-
Warriors cough up the ball and the Storm score to seal the game. Gutted.
-
<p>And with that war the Melbourne Storm officially kick start the Warriors 2016 season. It's a loss but the Warriors at least went up the middle of the park this time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some thoughts:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- Smash it up, dummy half run, smash it up, dummy half run.... the Warriors actually did this for parts of the game and guess what? The Storm defence went backwards. Maybe they should try the simple stuff a bit more.</p>
<p>- Just like the girls/quasi-girls will tell you on K Rd, it is tough being a hooker. First Luke is goooonnnee before the game begins, Nathan Roache is then injured early in the game, Jazz Tevaga gets injured several times in the game, Jeff Robson gets injured when he moved to hooker late in the game, and Bodene Thompson also gets injured after playing a few sets as hooker.</p>
<p>- Big ups to Jazz Tevaga. A backrower/hooker, he's the new, browner Lewis Brown. Showed aggression on attack and defence, and like Lewis, he just kept going.</p>
<p>- If Luke, Roache and Tevaga are all injured next week, play Robson at hooker, and SJ and Lolohea in the halves. Lolohea needs more ball.</p>
<p>- The frontrowers of Matulino, Lillyman, Vete, Gubb and Gavet played well too. Gavet's tackle on Munster was clean and was a bullshit call.</p>
<p>- So was the call by the refs before the winning drop goal - if it goes forward off a dropped ball it's a knock on. Nuff said.</p>
<p>- But the Storm's Kiwis won Melbourne that game imo with simple, straight forward running. Henry Perenara also helped.</p>
<p>- I don't know what happened to Kata but he seems to be playing ok, even better when on the wing.</p>
<p>- Ashyford and Wright should be the last options for call ups.</p>
<p>- Bring back Hurrell.</p> -

<p>On the ball that looked like a knock on , Bromwich offloaded it , it hit a warriors leg that was tackling him and rolled forward , but it went backwards initially out of his hands </p> -

Any word on Burgess's injury ? say what you want about his ill fated Union career, the guy is a hell of a league player ( and would have been at Union given a proper chance )</p></blockquote>
<br>
Did he give himself that chance? -

<p>Excellent point, probably should have done a Brad Thorn and said no. At any rate here's hoping he's ok.</p> -

<p>jesus, the way this is being reported you would think he was on deaths door. Andy Raymond looked like he was about to burst in to tears yesterday, despite saying positive things. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If this was some 2nd year player from Penrith no one would give a fuck. </p> -

<p>Don't bother searching for video of the incident, the tackle wasn't dangerous, Burgess just runs into a cluster of bodies with his head down and cricked his neck.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Certainly not "sickening".</p> -
