POST GAME [Finals Week 1, 2023] Broncos vs Storm

[heartly87]

Haven't read through the whole thread so not sure if it's been posted but it was NAS that destroyed Paps leg.

Full weight of NAS coming down on your leg isn't ideal.

Said it in the pre match thread but Munster has been quiet/ordinary since Origin. Not sure what's going on there. As long as he performs during Origin that's all that matters.

Just so stoked with last night. Was an awesome atmosphere at the game.

NAS hip dropped him from the grassy knoll.

When I was a kid, going to Toowoomba was the big city. EVERYTHING was interesting.

Same! It had a McDonald’s AND a skating rink!

Just a heads up they got rid of the skate rink and McDonald's is a bit boring

We used to stock up on ammo at Shoesmiths and groceries at Jack the Slasher.

Toowoomba only brought the broncos once that was a trial match against the Titans pretty obvious who won

It is really hard to not be thinking GF already, I imagine it would be the same for the players. Next game should be a formality and that can spell danger.

Paps is one of the few good guys from the Storm, no player deserves it.

But as a club, **** yes the Storm deserve it. Someone mentioned karma. Bellamy has been risking horrific player injuries for the last 15 years with all of their bullshit. Not even just the chicken wings and the rolling pins, but I'm talking about the grapples where they are twisting necks simply to make the tackled player effectively helpless. I can't think of a more detestable attitude to a sport where that sort of action is not just tolerated, but encouraged and specifically coached.

Someone also mentioned the Storm tacklers deliberately getting their legs tangled in order to slow down the rucks, and while I'm not suggesting this was the case here (it was just a horrible accident), it is somewhat poetic that the seemingly deliberate tactic was always going to be risking a serious leg injury, to the opposition or even their own players. The Storm have ended up with their own player suffering a potentially career-ending injury and I feel no pity for them as a team, I feel like this is in some way justice for everything that Bellamy has risked on these players, his own and the comp as a whole.

How da fug ?
Does Paps pack down as open side prop and rake the ball back and the Ref says play on ? Make of that what you will .

The point is that the town that we lived in was a LOT more boring than the bright lights glitz and glam of T-ba

The next town over is always more exciting. Unless you're in Brisbane, the pinnacle of modern civilisation. You can't get better than perfection.

I wanted to see the boys so badly

Is the Super Rooster still at Tba? Used to be a highlight when having to go there for work.
