Storm kept going up the middle, dogs just compressed their defence and easily handled it. Very one dimensional game plan. If grant was out there the storm win that game.

Sounds like our strategy without Api and Douhei.

Thats why Api is also so critical for us, if your DH cant get the forwards rolling its hard to get to decent attacking field position so you are always rucking it out.
Also hughes kept playing the short side on the last tackle, they were very predictable.

Good news looking ahead to next week is our line speed should return with Api back.
Good line speed will trouble the Dogs.

4-1 penalty count
5-0 ruck infringements

Melbourne shot themselves in the foot but wow…

Yep lop sided refereeing, even some normal rulings over the season were overturned by the bunker in this game in favour of the doggies
