Post-Game Discussion Storm v Manly [Finals 1, 2021]

[40 nil]

Inexperience cost us tonight. Never mind, it's been a good learning experience.

Jake & Dylan our best.

(Turbo very quiet tonight. Wonder if he was injured early on?)

 

[HK_Eagle]

Mate, the whole Storm team has given us a masterclass.

I can only guess that Dessie got a bit too clever tonight and thought he needed to keep pushing the envelope and left field thinking. It's finals. Nothing changes over decades. Certain fundamentals, like playing tough up the middle, ball control, discipline and defence wins finals.

 

[Steve76]

Agree 100% at the crux of our performances both times vs these guys is f$&@en piss poor ball control, completions and go forward. Tom can’t do f$&@ all the way Melb are dominating us. Right now we have no answer to these guys. Move on to Easts or Titans next week. Also Des use of the interchange is again beyond puzzling. Above all imo Croker has been an enormous loss. Our tempo across the park has been completely off. We are use to the Frog pace not the lawman pace.

Backrowers need to start on bench. No go forward or mongrel from either.

 

[eagleron]

The self destruction tonight has been something else. So many low IQ plays. Need to show patience whoever we play next week.

I don't think it matters who we play next week, we exposed ourselves tonight, we're goooooone

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Ha didn’t take my Parra mate long to have a go at me !!!

 

[bob dylan]

Roosters will win their game and we’ll be out in straight sets.

They’ll learn a lot out of this , it’ll hurt and hurt breeds desire .

No shame in that.

I am proud of our season.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

I’m so glad we have a 40-0 grand final win over this team. Our recent run against them has been infuriating

 

[mjb136]

Really poor from us, but an opportunity again next week.

Hope the boys burn about that performance because it was not good. Fair credit to Melbourne, Bellamy put a plan in place and they executed.

 

[Kalvin]

Hey Shoe... get into the shed instead of hanging around to chew the fat with the opposition

 

[HoldenV8]

Walker 3
Garrick 2
Paseka 1

Everyone else needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

You got two right, one was just in the wrong position IMO.

 

[Simonmyers11]

we will come back next week. Too many errors, gave away cheap penalties, crocker out didn't help.

Looked flat and didn't take it to melbourne. Lack some punch in the middle and Melbourne contained us well

 

[bob dylan]

Ha didn’t take my Parra mate long to have a go at me !!!

You will be able to ring him Sunday when the Knights put them out.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Still waiting for a replay of the high shot on Walker……

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I don't think it matters who we play next week, we exposed ourselves tonight, we're goooooone

Yep, can’t see us winning next week , the wind has been knocked out of their sails big time.

A great learning experience for the youngsters, just like 2006.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

You will be able to ring him Sunday when the Knights put them out.

That will give me the greatest pleasure

 

[bob dylan]

At least we will get Tom back next week.

He should be better for the week off.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Tom can expect to get belted every week for the rest of his career if he doesn't want to man up

Harsh, but absolutely bl00dy true

 

[joeboy]

Let’s face it, it would’ve been an upset if we won. I’m most disappointed we just didn’t give a good account of ourselves and show the league world what we have

Our expensive and experienced players were very disappointing

Tom’s form glossed over a lot of cracks and we didn’t learn enough hard lessons during the year.

Our captain needed to be much better tonight

 

[NYEagle]

I thought Aloiai was out until he came back in with 8 minutes to go. He is playing injured he is just not the beast he was early in the year.

Schuster looks fat and slow.

Ola no composure.

Harper a diabolical night. It happens.

Dessie has to just tell them to forget tonight and get back to structural work. Storm ate us alive just too good.
