Storm by a cricket score. 30+

Cam smith is rubbing his hands together, licking his lips. Going to feast on some Brisbane bronco. The head comes clean off and ends up in Bennetts bed godfather style.

 

[Super Freak]

I'm expecting an improved performance next week.

Whenever we lose by a big scoreline, we tend to improve the following week and I think the boys have had their eye on this game for some time now.

We should get all of our injured players back next week. We've missed Macca a lot.

It will take a massive effort to win, but we won't repeat the last night's performance.

 

[Morkel]

Storm have gone from $2.85 to $2.50 which is still crazy. Win 12+ was over $6 last night.

I hope you took advantage of those odds

Bingo. Insurance money lost me a chunk last year but I'm making it back this year.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Just out muscled in the forwards again. It doesn't help that Hunt and Milford aren't playing that well. I think they are suffering without McCullough in at hooker. A real shame for Opacic too.

The sky is falling.

If broncos loose this game are there gone be any change next time they play?

 

[vertigo]

Well we have a bye in Round 18 and hopefully the injured brigade are back the week after.

Wasn't it 2006 when we played the Storm around the same time of the season? We lost narrowly but Bennett credits that game for turning the season around. Nice parallel though.

Disclaimer- I may have this totally wrong.

Been thinking the exact same thing... As long as we can build from here we will be alright. 10 Rounds is plenty of time to turn this ship around and a strong performance against a red hot Storm will go a long way

 

[vertigo]

Bellamy is going to whip them after that second half performance.

Munster and Green should be back so we're facing the same side they'll name in the finals.
