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.
