Crazy to think we are doing this without some of our big off season signings. You would be flat out finding spots for anyone out of the side atm. Even Tui who was the match winner last week. If you are in the side atm, you’d be desperate to stay healthy, cos once you go down, the guy who replaces you will give up his limbs.

Yeah 100%, there is so much depth in the squad. And the team already on the field seems to be the right balance. Benji has exceeded all expectations I’m sure, not that they were even low to begin with. Imo we need him on the field for the whole game.. Not sure where even Reynolds will fit in now.
 
Wasn't able to watch or listen to the game due to work early this morning, could not believe we won and this thread was a pretty good read. When I got to the final penalty count I was amazed even further…..............we appear to have a team
 
I wish I knew about this thread last night! Fantastic read this morning! Great to see the Magpies killing it too! I followed the game on the FOX site. It showed the Tigers leading 6-0 and I watched that clock tick down to zero. I was so damn pleased to beat those Mexicans at home to nil! Switched over to FIX main site and to my horror we were actually losing 8-6 with three minutes to play! WTF! My son and I were mortified. Then with 2.5 minutes to go the clock stopped (for what seemed an eternity). Finally Tigers 10 pops up and the clock keeps ticking down. With 90 secs left my phone battery dies! FFS! It took me 10 minutes to find out we won! I love this team! Wooden spoon favorites, everybody has them written off pre season. Who seriously could have predicted these last two results! We get to play the three big sombreros in the first three rounds! I wish I could be there on Friday, anyone know a good babysitter?

The icing on the cake for this game would have been someone decapitating Munster for his effort on Kev.

It's inspiring but sad at the same time when you recognise that these are probably two of the most complete defensive efforts this club has ever conjured up.

That was ugly and I may be wrong but I thought they had him held. Munster was clearly frustrated at that point cheap shot.

I think it was close to similtanious, however it should still have been penalised. It was a blatant head slam.

Outside of the 2005 grand final, I’ve never enjoyed a game more. We beat everything tonight. We beat a great team, we beat a milestone occasion, we beat a sin binning, we beat Melbourne coming back, we beat the worst and most biased refereeing ever seen. We have a winning team.

Come on - sell out at Campbelltown next Friday night!!

Iam with you Steve, this was all about guts and than more guts. So good to see a game that every inch is to die for. Old fashion football…love it

Don’t want to get ahead of ourselves but we’ve been waiting a long time for a hard edged team. I’m thinking the wait is over!!

Yeah I don't wanna jump the gun either… Been burnt and disappointed before... But so far so good it's great and a long way from that Sharks trial.
One week at a time will do me... Keep it up boys

I loved Esan giving Munster a gob full when he forced him into touch in goal.
Pure magic.

Thats was my highlight of the match. Last year we had a few in the squad that would have put a hand out to help him up.

the culture is now corrected.

Pretty sure they called it, he was out to hurt him at that point.

Hard not to get excited about a team that turns up for the 80\. The fact that they kept trying right until the death despite being completely gassed is a 1000% improvement in years past, they would have racked the cue and let Melbourne put 3 tries away in the last minutes.

Replay is back on now

Do we need to be concerned about seeing Elijah having his hammy strapped with about 8 minutes to go

Other question , was Naiqama called off side by the ref when he could of dived on the grubber with about 8 minutes left in the 1st half ??

Not sure yet Happy, maybe. The good news is we can throw Eisenhuth into lock and Felise can come onto the bench and play front row. For mine he looked the best of our props again in ISP yesterday, his mobility and footwork looks really sharp.
 
Like many fans here said, everyone is exited and for a very good reason, our defense passed only 2 tries against teams that beat us by 30+ year after year. Congrats to the coach and players, it looks like we are better prepared physically than ever :sign:
We did not have depth for nearly every positions for the last 6-7 years. Our ISP team also plays well, and keeps everyone on their toes: e.g. Sue, Falise, Gamble, Grant, McQueen.
I just hope that we keep this enthusiasm even after series of losses that could eventually come :sign:

at a great result!!

Melbourne lose in Slater’s milestone match…
Ivan Cleary has got his team defending like terriers…how I wish we could do the same!

To think, if Souths had been smart we could have had Ivan

Ivan Cleary perfectly coached his team to beat the Storm. He came up with the perfect game plan. The Tigers came up with 25 offloads which had the desired effect of upsetting the Storm defensive structure. The storm Game plan is to slow the play the ball down enough to set their defensive line ready for the next play so they can time their fast moving defensive line swarming the opposition. Their whole game strategy hinges on controlling the ruck. Yet the Tigers upset this game plan by offloading at every opportunity causing havoc with the storms structures. Once their defense started failing with 33 missed tackles, they fell apart in every aspect of their game. They use their dominating defence to grind teams into submission and then set about dismantling them with a cohesive well
planned attacking strategy, but not so last night. Well done Ivan !

Cam Smith is giving an acting masterclass to fall without being touched to get Matulino (Tigers) sin-binned. There must have been a gunman on the grassy knoll and another from the second-floor window of the book depository. Pity they were only using dummy rounds! :dart: :joy::joy::joy:

The penalty count in the Storm v Tigers match was 18-8 to the Storm (including a 9-1 penalty count in the second half)

Some of these referees are deadset taking the piss. How could they even try and suggest that a team was 9 times more undisciplined in a half of league
--------------------------------------------------

To top things off they spent an age trying to find away to dissallow the last try by the Tigers . It was cringe worthy to watch

Was funny watching the refs trying to get the Storm over the line tonight , Sinbin for nothing , Nonstop penalties .

:fu: the NRL… Thank god we don’t have the wankerfest for Billies 300th and a win. To this day I believe the NRL are the puppet masters and us fans are merely along for the ride. The NRL has an agenda, to sell it’s product, and keep fans interested. My bet is the year of the Warrior. …

LOVED IT….. but I’m prett sure it was Curtis Scott not Munster

Yes you are correct just seen it in the extended highlights.
Would have preferred it to have been Munster.
 
Can I add, havent seen a separate thread, Corey Thompson was really impressive. He was well positioned in D, lots of talk, esp defusing thay short kick in the first half w JAC bearing down.

But also a real handful in attack, popping up and beating tackles.

Performing was above what I thought he was capable of, hats off! Ivan said it himself the other week: "no offence to Corey but not a big-name signing, though here at the club we thought it was a great signing".
