Exactly how I feel, you’re not alone.Honeysett wrote:I cannot stand the Melbourne Storm, and while I respect the two as professionals the sooner Smith and Bellamy are gone the better for Rugby League.

They're offside on every play almost, if someone gets a run against them they stifle it time after time with holds or being too quick off their line.
I hate their brand of football and I blame Buzz Rothfield and his crisis merchant media buddies. The NRL started cracking down on it and the Storm struggled, instead of teams getting better they complained that it ruined league.
I just can't stand how they get away with it the most, they're the best at it and always have been. Other teams get pinged for it but because it's been the way Melbourne play for year it doesn't look any different.
I hate them!

I don't particularly like the storm myself but geez they were on the wrong side of the whistle tonight. 6-1 pen count against them and some really shit calls went against them. The raiders on the other hand have been blessed by the referees this finals series. Ricky Stuart an absolute knob aswell, don't get me started on him.

All you Storm haters are just jealous we can be so dominant for so long and you spend every second of the game analysing every single play and you notice it more because you have this hatred for the Storm. You watch any other game, it happens within every team, you just don't notice cause you aren't trying to.

I think Panthers' dominant left edge is going to obliterate Jed Cartwright & Paulo defensive edge

Anyhow there are rumours Murray is gonna start at centre for the first 20-25mins and then Jed will come on.
If that’s the case Murray is our best defensive centre he’s played their before and can nullify their left edge early.
In Wayne I trust.

I was going to say Panthers by 26 but with Kikau out will probably only by 18ish

Anyone want two tickets to the rabbits/panthers game? I can’t make it anymore and am happy to sell it a bit cheaper if you want

I am not sure if it is just me but I just think Panthers will be way too hard to stop.

I think thats the common view among neutrals. I am expecting a similar thing as last night, week off is just such a great advantage.
Disclaimer its a pre lim and anything can happen.

Don't see the rabbits troubling the storm more than the panthers next weekend

That's what the fans want... highly doubt the players give a single shit about what the media and fans think. Everyone taking that field would be confident in themselves

My mtb nrlfantasy squad had some doozies last night. Disappointed that the Raiders lost the game in the first 10 minutes, I expected a contest but got something different.
