LIVE GAME Rd. 6 NRL discussion *Spoilers*

[orange&black]

The Warriors were a team inspired tonight. Haven’t seen aggressive D like that for a long time. Storm were bullied into mistake after mistake. Absolutely zero respect for any Storm player from the Warriors who were delighting in smashing them in D and running over them in A. Not sure any team would have stood up to them tonight. Hope our boys were watching that!!

Stefano fits in well with this Melbourne Storm team. Many of them are lazy and lacking effort.

Melbourne’s 4th loss in a row!!

Melbourne it’s tough to get Grill'd

Did you see Bellyache giving it to Chan at half time.

So sad to see Stefano leave us to go to a better team. 🤡

Is that a violin 🎻 I can hear playing. 🤣🤣🤣

The disruptor rule has become an absolute joke. So far we have seen players penalised for challenging for the ball with 2 hands which the rule says you must do and trys being scored from 1 handed bat backs which the rule says you cant do but can sometimes do if its a fair challenge whatever the hell that means. Mark alphabet gets away with one handed bat backs every game while others get penalised. WTF.

 

[Telltails]

The strength of the Storm finally being tested. Lost too many players and havnt replaced them. Hughes Munster Grant and Belllamy good as they are or have been, are now experiencing some of what many clubs and coaches have faced when the next man up system just doesn't cut it.

Isn't that just so surprising.

Melbourne have really lost their mojo.
I wonder if Slater is less involved or something.

I think the only predictable results from round 6 is the Dragons loosing and Canberra beating Souths!

Seriously it must be weird being a Canberra fan looking at Jack Wighton... Unsure if they would want him back.

Some blokes just don’t have that Tiger in their Belly.

Canberra beating Souths was predictable? We should have spoken before I tipped the myxamitosis lot. I think I am 1 for so far.

What I love about Bellamy is that Losing is not acceptable

I think we are becoming more like Melbourne

 

[tig_prmz]

I know Melb won the comp in 2020 and a couple of grand finals since but I feel like they haven't adapted to the ruck changes.

They're still hell bent on wrestling and slowing down the ruck instead of making your tackle and quickly going to marker.

They're using their energy to wrestle and slow down ruck instead of focusing on line speed and support play.

They're clearly fit enough, I feel like they're slightly wrongly coached at the moment.

I can't see them down for too long. They have all the attributes.

 

[Speed2burn]

This type of season from the storm has been a long time coming. Credit to them, I thought it would happen a heck of a lot earlier though..I think we will start to see the likes of Munster and Bellamy fade off into the sunset soon

I’m not writing them off completely, but I think they’re a 7-8th team at best

Tbh I don't think there forward pack is good enough. But your tight about the wrestling. They struggle to put the player down and that sapps energy. They need to do what the Warriors did last night. Hard front on contact and drive back instead.of absorbing and wrestling over 3-4m while slowing the play down.

 

[Sco77y]

If they go onto lose this match it will become the first time the Melbourne Storm have lost 4 games in a row since 2015 (Round 14,15,16,18)

I would’ve thought they’d never lost 4 in a row but I’m guessing those games in 2015 were in the middle of the Origin period. Which makes this 4 in a row a bit worse.

well it's the only result other then Dragons loosing that I think people could have predicted.


I know Canberra have been not as strong against Souths, but I consider it a result people could have picked. Chooks vs Sharks perhaps is another. .. The rest, no way.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

The Wahs are better off without Metcalf. He came back and they went backwards. Gets injured and they kill it again.

It was 50/50. The milk were due.
