NRL 2023 Finals Week 3 Discussion

[JayPee]

fair enough, when I did it my life flashed and I swear I tasted death.

Quite dangerous stuff.

 

[Culhwch]

Sorry for having an opinion on the the game 3 week discussion. I understand though. You are all edgy.

I don't know where you're getting that, I think 9 in every 10 members here already have '23 Prems tats.

 

[JayPee]

I'm not edgy. I'm supremely confident as always.

Of course you aren't...

 

[Volvo Driver]

**** Munster was poo and has been for a while now.

Since Origin 2 he's been non existent. Must be the new kid. Needs to go back to drugs and alcohol.

I mean we’ve already beaten them this year and even at our absolute worst, we still pushed them a couple of times.

The tiny pecker you have to be packing to actively go to an opposing teams forums and death ride them.

Mate our team is in the finals, where's yours?

Hiding their "pranks" from the NRL integrity unit

Fair call on that...

Well i dont exactly hide it, my confidence in this team. So i dont quite get your statement.

Ok. We will see next week if all the talk is warranted.... if

Was thinking the same thing. Needs his snort buddy Brandon Smith

Storm just got fatigued and then couldnt get back into the game. It seems a long time ago now, but if they didnt bomb those tries this game would have been very close at half time and totally different. We arent bombing that many points and we are a far better defensive unit and more resiliant than this Melbourne side.

Penrith are a good side, but so are we. I dont think we have anything to fear whatsoever.

I thought @Renegade summed the first half up nicely. It was actually a fairly even contest, but Penrith converted all their opportunities into points whereas Melbourne faultered whenever they had the Panthers on the back foot.

I thought the second half started much the same way. Munster was just starting to make in-roads but then a few passes found the floor and all of a sudden they're on the backfoot as Luai skips across field and puts Martin over for a soft try. At 24-4, Melbourne were on toast.

I just think it's a remarkable achievement Melbourne made it that far. They lost all their senior forwards before they were able to build a solid contigency, Papenhuyzen barely played after helping them to an 8-1 start the previous year and they manage to do better. It all had to come to an end eventually but they should be even better next year.

Glad that’s over. Was pretty frustrating from the first five minutes when the storm were dominating and the ref marched the riff downtown to score. I counted six times the riff took out storm chasers and not a word was said by ch nein.

When we play them next week Reyno needs to make an early protest about this sort of shit. They did it all night and got away with it.

 

[JayPee]

Well i dont exactly hide it, my confidence in this team. So i dont quite get your statement.

It's all bravado. If you do make it next week it will be everybody else's fault but Penrith being better or the Broncos playing not their best. You got those ref excuses ready yet. For a bloke that believes so much in the Broncos you wouldn't have been crying over every single call tonight you believe went Penriths way.

Maybe I was wrong. Maybe you don't actually really believe they can beat them

I actually think the Storm are pretty weak in the centers these days as well. Even their solid players who just do their jobs arent doing what they used to.

 

[Kimlo]

Storm a collective -53 this finals series

Coates getting closer to his premiership dream.

 

[Mightybroncs2k17]

Great effort from Melbourne to get this far when you look at what they've lost the last two years.

Alot of it is probably a result of their systems and brilliant spine. But i wouldn't be suprised to see them slide next year. Forward pack is very weak, centres provide no strike and Munster maybe showing signs of slowing down.

It’s brilliant to witness though ….let’s be honest
