Post Match Rd 7: Storm Beat Warriors In Thriller

[Viking]

At least you can say that Ropati's been out of the game for a year, what's Hurrells excuse again?

Dunno about Ropo, Chambers can do that to a lot of centres and would've done more damage if Laumape had been marking him most likely.

 

[Brother Faisal]

its a mental thing, we consistently se cycles in the warriors, the 18 nil leads that we blew, its all mental, different cycle this year, lead by 2 but make basic errors in our own half.

 

[Moz]

fark Ive just about had enough of Konrad Scissor-Hands ( or as we affectionately call him in my house Cock-fingers )





Man do I miss Dane neilson out there, hope he doesnt jump on a plane in the middle of the night and piss off too French rugby.

 

[Fazz]

it wasnt so much Hurrell's hands, he was given 3 shit passes for 3 drop balls. the play the ball was shit though.

You're kidding, right? If not, maybe some glasses are needed. Not trying to be a dick, but no...just no.

 

[ramraider78]

Packer was cake tonight IMO give Matangi or Gubb a run, see what they have got. Is Peyroux back from injury yet? time for Hurrell to find some form in Vulcans; Roppo's first game back not flash but he didn't turn any ball over in our 20.

 

[ryno]

Proud of the effort but i always had that feeling like we were going to get chased down.

On that forward pass Chambers was actually in front of the wing when he received the ball so could have been offside as well..

 

[Brother Faisal]

yeah we need 3 new props, rapira aint doing damage like he use too, lilyman aint doing much, package is too unfit, sam lousi is budget

  Mateo provides us absolutely nothing anymore.
  Though I can understand the critics of Hurrell, he also did a huge amount of good in this game... give him time.
  We should sign Chambers, give him whatever he wants.
  Apart from the big miss on Chambers, Ropo had a decent game.
  Our edges are looking great coming out of our half... Tupou is looking more and more confident and getting better with every game
  Matulino was a beast in the middle, always bends the line significantly
  Shaun is looking better in defence with every game
  We were controlling the ruck speed much better this game, really slowed Melbourne down
  We aren't far away from a win and I think we could be a top 6 side

Like your objectivity and calm.

However....on the top six side thing , I only rate it if you take this game out of your calculations.

Because we always look like a top 6 side after a storm game. The following week we audition for the spoon historically

I only saw one which was a poor pass almost behind him.

 

[warriors4sure]

Three calls had a major effect on that game. Shaun Johnson kicks a 40/20 touchie calls it- slater says he's wrong and ref goes with slater- storm score off next set. Slater milks a penalty kicking out after godinet had already released him- refs sucked in again. Then they score off a blatant forward pass. Feel sorry for the boys tbh

Just couldnt believe the touchy not calling that forward pass , he was in perfect position, but wat the fark?

 

[warriors8]

Dumb F**ken C**ks!! Same players making crucial mistakes. Ropati is too f**king old and slow and it showed. Hurrell should have his pay docked for every mistake he makes. He will soon learn not to f**k up when he cant send any money home. Out of all the games we lost this year this hurts bigtime because we had the mighty storm doing things that they dont normally do. We are our own enemy. No matter how good a coach we get because the players suck. Look at the Wallabies, Robbie Deans awesome coach but he doesnt have the players. Mateo should be sacked and played in the Vulcans with Hurrell.

 

[Mr Frank White]

Lockes D in the 2nd half was atrocious, that last pass from Storm on their last try was deliberately forward.
Also dont we now have a worse record than last year?
But yeah, it's all Blueys fault. :/

Would have been overuled anyway if Slater thought it was fine anyway. Can't blame him for saving himself the grief

So News Limited rapes another bottom. Our bottom must need ointment after the calls that have gone against us. Still we played well. A few players are letting us down. But we are so close to beating the best teams in the comp. Really its been nothing but solid footy since round four. Literally getting better. Just need for two things to happen. The refs to give us a fair game. OK. But the other action is giving the other team nothing and we can help that. Ropati, Feleti are just a couple of players but most are in good form. Playing well. I worry about their confidence and believe we will shatter a team if we keep playing this well.

As for tonight well, we have made Melbourne cry. Slater, Cam crying hugging Bellamy. You can't buy that. Who else has a perfect record against Melbourne in the finals? No one! Not even Manly. Chin up boys, great fight, don't give up..

I only saw one which was a poor pass almost behind him.

i saw two bad passes and they were all over him before he droped it in the play the ball. no excuses for that one though. he was 1000 x bnetter than ropo though. ropo burned everytime the play came his way.

 

[tangalife]

Thats how I saw it. Only question mark was the last one off the scrum, we didnt get a replay but I thought the ball was behind him a bit.

Defnately the Shaun Johnson pass from the ruck to him (2nd drop ball I think it was) was a shocker pass.

Cant remember the other drop ball but I mentally noted it down as a bad pass.

The thing is, off the scrum and ruck he comes charging in and you need to get that ball pin point, which they weren't tonight.

It is. That moron completely obliterated any sense of discipline at the club. Elliot is only just starting to pick up the pieces. I mean seriously, that bald headed fucktard took them to a waterpark in the build up to a game ffs.

 

[shuffle]

Really missed Dane! He would of made those tackles! But who else knew Ropati would get burned on the outside! Honestly!

 

[wallacenz]

what the hell was going on at the back when storm put up a bomb. why were we just leaving it to bounce or for them to catch. it was an enjoyable game but there was some strange shit going on

Fair enough man. Honestly, I was probably too blinded by rage at the time to tell. I hope you're right, because timing is probably an easier fix than having cock fingers haha.
