CROSS FORUM NRL 2022 Round 17 Discussion

[Nashy]

I didn't watch much of the game, I hear BSmith got marched for giving the ref a mouthful. Are they finally getting reffed accordingly and can't fathom it?

The vid above is when he was given his marching orders. Brilliant.

How good was that Storm game! Haven't smiled that much watching a highlights reel since... I don't know when!

The look on Bellyaches face when Smith was binned... Priceless :)

 

[IceWorks]

Did someone wander into the storms shed after the game (just like Cameron Smith did to the warriors), interrupt Belly's spray and congratulate them on their contribution to the game over the last year?

Dolphins would be a bit worried about the Bromwichs form. They showed in the Test they can still play well but can they still do it in NRL on a weekly basis?

That's an issue with their roster as I see it, Dad's army and some promising youngsters... really missed out on the players at their peak right now.... will be interesting to see if they are more crushers or broncos, I suspect with their catchment and history they will do well longer term, should be better than the Gold Coast at least.

Was always going to happen like that though. More or less same thing happened with the Titans.

If there was a better way to manage it they would have brought in two teams so that we didn't have an uneven draw. I think 16 teams is enough though, its really milking things with 17

Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.

Smith has been referred straight to the judiciary for this as well

Can you imagine two teams both trying to sign 30 players at once? The can barely fill a team as is.

[Renegade]

what's he say before "go to..." **** something?

 

[Kimlo]

The irony of calling him a cheat.

It's a classic Storm tactic, they get tackled then jump up and a couple of metres forwards to **** with the ruck and markers, trying to draw a penalty for interference which is only interference because they're pushing into the markers.

Works for them a lot, but the ref clearly recognises it here and says "you shortened it" which is good officiating.

Especially when Smith does this.. Clear jumping motion from Smith to earn his side a penalty and get a Sharks player put in the bin.

Dumb **** could have put himself in a wheelchair to earn a penalty. I hope the MRC charge him for that incident too.

 

[Morkel]

Hilarious Smith calling anyone a cheat. The whole Storm ethos is based on cheating - cynically pushing every boundary to get any advantage, regardless if it's legal or not. I imagine the coaching sessions are like this...

 

[Sproj]

Sounded like he said: 'You thieving *******'

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Lol imagine a Storm player accusing anyone else of being a cheat. The irony.

 

[Jedhead]

I’m sure it was “cheating butthole” wasn’t it?

See Bellamy crying about their injury toll in the press conference? Couldn't happen to a shittier team of shit *****. They've trained how to injure players, karma is just catching up.
