Storm get Belted

[andrew 474]

storm loose 2 players and get belted by the raiders ( smith , slater ) we have had 1 , 2 , 3 or 4 top linners out this year and we have still gone fairly well , Ellis , lotie , were missing for weeks , i would live to see them loose those 2 players for 4 weeks , see how they fair up

I have been saying this for ages, we have had plenty of injuries, ppl on here say its not an excuse, of purse if ur missing key players from ur team for extended periods the team will under perform, that's y they're 'key' players

True, i wonder how the dogs would have performed on fri without barba, ennis, both first choice wingers & their best forward?

I'm always try and look at the positives. But it's not really the case that they lose, but more so how they lose.

Some diabolical things happened on Friday I have to admit.

 

[NJLM78]

Totally agree in regards to Friday's game. I thought we did well to stay as close as we did on the scoreboard. It can't apply to the Newcastle and South Sydney games though. We really had control of those games and then threw them away. The extra 4 competition points would have come in very handy now.

it's amazing how everyone ignored the fact that dogs played the worst half of their season against us.
anyway wat's done is done.. we have a lot of negatives which should be addressed and taken care of, and obviously we have some positives as well which should be further enhanced and use them as effectively as we can.

a week at a time from now on. we can win every game

 

[Flippedy]

Storm had more players out when they played us and only lost by 4 - what do we make of that I wonder.

See Bellamy's post game reaction and compare that to Sheens, there's your difference.

Eh I don't think much of it, Raiders tend to do well against Melbourne.
Think about Cowboys losing Thurston and their win % without him. I'm pretty sure our 2-4 injury losses minimum for the last few games can easily account for him.

I try and defend Tim as much as possible but when he comes out and says we've got good depth to cover for injuries and rep duties then I'm afraid that we cant use injuries as an excuse for poor performances. I can understand losing but playing as poorly as we have been the last 2 weeks is something you cant excuse, even playing the injury cards.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

And our defense was abysmal. Never knew injuries were an excuse not to tackle but there you go.
