The Storm Hate Thread [Official]

That and a healthy slice of luck.

Canberra missing field goals, bottling a try or two.

'Riff running out of gas with 10 to go, I can't see that happening next year, they'll double down.

Melbourne having diabolical second halves for most of the season, even though Hughes played you could tell he wasn't 100%. Paps was a cat because his shoulder was busted playing the dogs. Munster is like the mystery box. You might pull out a potato or a gold nugget, we got the former on Sunday. He didn't really do anything too special.

I wonder how many teams respond well after two GF losses in a row. I also imagine that aren’t many that have experienced it.

Balmain still made finals in 1990 and Dragon's 11th 1994 but made the Grand Final in 96.

Manly made finals in 1984 after losing to the Eels 1982 and 1983.

In Brisbane Souths lost 79, 80 and won 81 but then lost 1982 again. Lost 84 and won 1985.
 
It's pathetic, we win the comp and people still sit there (more than one person) "well if we played this team and not this team they would have beat us", heard that all through the finals.

It means nothing, absolutely nothing. The fact is, we won the comp.

I wonder if these people hold themselves to the same standard in the real world. "Well if this guy didn't resign I wouldn't have got promoted". We put ourselves in that position. That's what you do, you work hard, earn the right to be in the position and take advantage of any luck that comes your way. Steven Bradbury made a career out of it.

People who work hard get lucky.
 
Hopefully but I doubt it..

Now I’ve calmed down a bit, if we don’t have Walsh we lose Sunday by 30 points.

We’ve got a lot of room for improvement… and I think we went on a god mode run that may never be repeated by anyone to get the W but we’re far from the best team in the league.

Madge got us fit but we’ve still got holes all over the park.
This take of "we were only the best team during finals" is ridiculous to me. I've read it alot since our win.

The competition doesn't end Round 27 to see who's the best team and as they say, the finals are a whole new competition.

We beat the Storm to make the top 4, then we go to Canberra and beat the minor premiers, then we beat the "best" team Penrith and then we again beat the Storm to win the premiership, all by coming from behind and being down.

We are the best team in the NRL.

Yeah like claiming that peaking at the right time is some fluke or some bullshit... isn't that the coach's ****ing job!!

Bellamy manages his team through the whole year to peak at the right time... Ivan rested 16 players 2 weeks out from the finals to get his team peaking at the right time... and then we had to play them with their full strength side.

**** off with anyone downplaying our first prem in 19 years
 
you can be both happy with the result and realistic that we ran above expectation to get there.
 
Say the storm eventually have a shit season. How long before their fans abandon ship?

They now have no QLD feeder clubs, they are pretty much a NSW side with a NSW grub coach.. Surely their QLD fans defect and come and join the Broncos hype train?
