shit
Looks very similar to Paps second try except it was Metcalf that got impeded but the refs didnt budge an eye... maybe Metcalf could have milked it better

Might also be finding his place in the team. If it's playing through pain sure but finding his place and form will be welcomed.
Cheat and cheat lol
Probably got so obvious that the bunker and ref started giving us favorable calls and let go of a forward pass afterwards
Happy Birthday.
We will get them on our ground with the fifty fifty calls better shared and they will get smashed.
He knew he was beaten by the ball so purposely tackled Ford to force the decision to go to the bunker

yeah, rush of blood to the head
you dont expect that from someone of this experience.
also the charge down.
I'm conflicted whether he simply just needed to put pressure and not make contact.
would have been one hell of a drop goal if it went over.
that six again killed us.
Was solid as all game, yes his defensive play their cost us the game, but it’s an easy fix. Stop jamming on know one and trust your inside man especially if it’s Berry
Should have just jogged and avoided the ball like a 5th tackle kick, it was such a panic kick, dude was running backwards before kicking, we might win with SJ in the golden point if the Storm hail mary worked
I know there all jacked up on adrenaline at the comeback, but one slower play the ball, and try and pull out of charging down that drop goal (if you run at the kicker that’s always called, that kick wasn’t going to make the 10m line) and the storm run out of time. A sideline conversion wouldn’t go amiss either.
Just a bunch of 50/50 coin flips that all came up wrong in the last 4 minutes, hilariously unlikely to lose, but what can you do.
Felt sick and turned it off, didn’t watch a second of yesterday’s games, but the coach is possibly secretly happy, just stick to the plan boys and they can’t beat us.

I reckon we will lose Taine at the end of this year
He is too good to be playing reserve grade and we are too nice to force him too.
It's up to us to turn it into a top 4 battle
Go win the 8 of the next 11 games.
I don't see it that way.
I decided (foolishly) to go and look at it all again.
I don't really think it could be defended any better.
Literally any other winger gets crashed into touch and DWZ is a hero.
That shot helps the case for the penalty. If the photo was from a few seconds earlier it would be a different story. Seeing it live the gap was bigger and Hughes closed it by making a defensive decision.
Gotta love the bunker.
How do you come up with any other decision other than defensive decision / inside shoulder?
I was out yesterday but caught bits of the game on my phone. Gutted at the end, we deserved the win. Play like that every week and we’ll make the 4 though, the challenge is to keep it up

Just to be clear I haven't watched every minute of every game these first 2 rounds, but have seen 20-60 minutes of all matches so far.
Maybe I'm talking shit, but our 20 minutes last week and 50 minutes this week looked the best out of any teams I've watched.
A lot of teams have scored some great tries or there were a few 5-10 minute periods that looked great, but man when we got into that grind against the Storm at Melbourne and shut them down for 50 minutes we looked well oiled, methodical and relentless.
Those 20 minutes against the Sharks I thought our attack looked dangerous and could be anything. While we weren't able to go on with the job, we could have easily scored 2 or 3 more tries, but Rd 1 cobwebs stopped us from clicking.
Penrith looked good this weekend too, but yeah I dunno maybe I'm just being biased but I think we're going to see a special year

This is harsh. DWZ had Coates covered fine. It literally took one of the best finishes of all time for Coates to score from that. 99,999 out of 100,000 Coates doesn't score and it's basically match winning defense.
I still haven't found a replay so take with grain of salt as I haven't analyzed it - but you have to pressure a field goal attempt, even if it's a tough looking one. The problem is, a poorly attempted/wobbly effort field goal will often go straight into the defender - making it a charge down.
