Round 4 - Storm vs Broncos

[Locky's Left Boot]

Milford is the dumbest 6 in the comp

 

[JungleBoogie]

Deardons had an average night but fark me MIlford is killing our end of sets and undoing any of the good work.

Milford is the only half in our club with a long kicking game. That is how bad our recruitment is ... We are forced to play him

 

[Jason Simmons]

In fairness to the halves, what can they do when your forwards are getting not just outmuscled but slaughtered, resurrected as soulless statues and then slaughtered again.

We have been at Melbourne’s end of the field enough for them to do something. They quite simply can’t.

All we need is a new 1, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 13...

And people wonder why we are struggling...

 

[Scorchie]

Glenn not offering much for our Captain, it’s a bit interesting

 

[mrslong]

Burn it all down.

 

[rnabokov]

If we had a CS9 type in the middle, we would be a 20 point a game better side

 

[Wolfie]

But Turpin has been elite right?

Is he playing? I really like Turpin, but he just isnt what we need. He's excellent when he can play full throttle, but there is no way he can do that game in, game out for 80 mins. Its not his game. Never has been, never will be.

 

[Scorchie]

We definitely need or needed a Thaiday v JWH style domination to wind the boys up. Time for someone to step up

 

[Whatisgoingon]

Same thing every week . 10 minute lapse of concentration . To slow and the storm are just belting us!

 

[Brocko]

We blew this when at 6-0 and 6-6 we had chances down their end to build pressure. We simply didn't.

Our middles are so overrated and overhyped. No half could do shit when they play like this. Milford cops a lot of shit and some of it is absolutely justified but jeez he could use some go forward to work with.

 

[Horseheadsup]

**** it, bring McGuire and Cozza back.

 

[Kimlo]

In fairness to the halves, what can they do when your forwards are getting not just outmuscled but slaughtered, resurrected as soulless statues and then slaughtered again.

Nah, I don't buy that at all.

We were up 6-0 and in Melbourne's 20 and did nothing but take every wrong decision and gift Melbourne cheap turnovers and they promptly took momentum and took control of the game.

 

[BooKhaki]

But Turpin has been elite right?

Not at all. Turpin has been average, yet still one of our only select few non retarded players tonight. Carrigan has shown again why he can't handle long minutes and should be used as a bench prop. No value in attack and horrid misses in defence.

You know you can criticize a player you like, right?

After their third try you can see captain Glenn saying his usual “one set”

the storm scored off the following set off the kick off

I think you would see a massive difference if we just had a decent 7,9 and a couple of hard head, experienced forwards. All these younger forwards have had no leader to follow.

 

[Fernando]

This spine is such a disaster you have to wonder about paying guys like Staggs 700k. Not one of our 1,6,7 & 9 are any good.

 

[NSW stables]

Our attack plays right into melbournes defensive strategy, and has done so for years.

They love our lack of line speed and constantly having one of our players being left on the ground at the ruck. They love the fact that we put 3 players into a tackle but they dont work together or wrap up the ball.

Untill we change this, they will (and most other teams) will continue to embarass us.

Yeah my pet peeve. Rip in boys, own the storm - one more set doesn’t motivate me.
