Had only 31% of possession, conceded 12 line drop outs, made 112 more tackles than our opposition and made almost 80 tackles inside our 20, hadn't beaten the Storm in 5 years, playing away in Melbourne with Origin players still backing up. BUT WE CAME UP WITH THE WIN!!.
That was easily one of the greatest wins I've experienced and one of the greatest wins in the club's history. Feels great to get the monkey of our backs we had not beaten the Storm since 2010 before today and to do it like that was special.
That was amazing. I couldn't be happier with the effort and commitment shown by every single player. Give them all threes. And a ten each for Gillet, Thaiday, Maranta and Oates.
It's a rugby league miracle in Melbourne. Any team that has to face us in the run home that are competing to get into the 8 had better run the **** away.
Not only did we beat the (cheating) Storm, but we did it without Hodges and Parker, against the refs, against the stats, against the bounce of the ball and away from home!
So proud of the boys right now and so looking forward to the rest of the season. I still think we're at least another season or two away from another premiership but at least we inflated our own confidence while massively (and I mean fucking massively) deflating the Storm's confidence.
That is the sort of defense that wins premierships.
I can't even decide who to give POTS points to, i don't think its fair after that performance to single out anyone as our best ... it was a complete team performance
It's hard to single out our best 3 honestly, everyone had good moments and nobody let us down. Gillett & McGuire were monsters in defence along with McCullough, Boyd had his best game of the season for mine, looked supremely confident in attack and defence, was dangerous every time he touched the ball. The only thing that hurt us today was the 2 errors and penalty from Milford, he needs to work on his discipline and consistency, but apart from that it was just a great all around team effort. So proud.
Tremendous ! Would just ask my fellow posters to show some respect to the opposition today. If we demean them we demean our performance. They cheated years ago and time to move on I believe. They aren't cheating now. They are still scum, just not cheating scum !!!!!
Looking forward to the replay and hopefully enjoying the things that went against and the great things we did. We got our respect back ! Thanks WB and your team of champions.
