Man, i just looked at the Bulldogs named 17... for all their recruitment, what a very average team.

Would love to watch them, Gus and Ciro have another horrible year.

not a lot of gun players in positions, the dogs have plenty of hack of all trades master of none, besides Crichton and Mahoney

Talking about everyone writing off Penrith already haha they typically start slow then fire after origin

yeah ok, as you said Penrith start slow storm had tough defence

 

[BalmainJnr]

Superb defensive effort by Melbourne tonight.

 

[weststigers]

think raiders will hammer our edge defence think we might get beaten by 20 plus

But we will try hard and be ok. Some players try harder than others. It's a fact.

 

[TigerSJ]

Sure there were lots of errors due to sweat and dew on the ball as well as first game timing, but the commitment from both teams and the D was enormous. I hope we play with even half of that effort. The gap between these top teams and the bottom 4 is huge.

I saw that desperation they had on their line reallyaye in the game it was semi finals intensity
I know it's impossible to play like that for 27 weeks and storm won't... There.be times later this year when they down by 16 with 2 mins to go and that intensity won't be seen... But these top clubs you see it more often than not and I wish it was us we were seeing it from on a rear basis not a handful of times (if that) a year
I wanna be proud of the team I support not have disdain... But that's all we get lately

Penrith would be quietly happy to keep storm to 8...cleary will use that as a positive...as will Bellamy the duck egg in D.. Cant ask more

If we play with half the intensity of Penrith tonight, will we lose 16-0?

Sounds like you hope we will lose every game.
How about reserving judgement until we play a few games ?

Salford hadn't beaten St Helens since 1980.
St. Helens were leading 20-6, down to 12 men but doing it pretty easy at the 60 minute mark and then Moses Mbye entered the game for St. Helens and worked his magic.
Salford win!
St. Helens were Mbye'd

I've hit old man stage, watching games without volume because I can't stand commentators.

So can't believe people dissing Penrith, I thought they were sharp and threatening. Storm were just incredible defending that last 20 minutes. The level of play in these matches is much higher than I remember last year. That was ridiculous by storm to be able to hold them out.

Melbourne have by far the best record in the NRL for winning round 1,Bellamy certainly knows how to prepare his team.They do not have poor seasons every other club does

 

[Speed2burn]

Heading to Parra v Dogs tonight .. 2 of my good mates are Parra members and nothing better to do

Hate both teams with a passion but there’s just something inside me quietly that wants to see the Dogs implode

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Hope the Dogs get pumped today and take the wind out of their sail...

 

[hank37w]

and I hope both sides have lots of season ending injuries to key players so they can both fight it out for the spoon.

Definitely- must be very tough preseasons at the Storm. Also Panthers looked fit as well. Many looked much bigger, lots of hours in the gym. We look undersized and unfit compared.

Sound advice as always. We learn from you. Humour and mathematics on point too. Love your passion and energy.

God Luai has been pathetic

He looked like his was still nursing his shoulder. Did nothing really last night. But must admit a few good lob passes.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Superb defensive effort by Melbourne tonight.

There was a lot on the line. Bellamy's 21 year record and playing against the 3peat Panthers and playing on home soil - without their best 2 or most inspirational players.
