Will this be a good footy game?
100%. The boys look fired up to give 110%, so footy will be the winner.
Pen for Parra will help.
Pretty good game so far. Low errors. Good pace and variety in play.
Early Captain’s challenge…
So so dumb. You should never be challenging a knock on call in a tackle that early in the game.
Another first half captains challenge.
Unsuccessful again.
Clowns!
Eels doing a Roosters impersonation. Cannot hold a team out for 6 inside the 20m…
Storm try, convert, 24-10
And that’s halftime
Storm 24-10 Eels
Time for oranges. Maybe double oranges 😜
And another easy try for Storm.
They don’t need to do anything fancy/creative to score so far…
Do centres even do anything anymore?
They never get the ball. There’s no room to move. There’s always an edge forward marking them as well.
Yeh centre is kind of a weird position in the modern game. It could - and often is - just be filled with an edge back rower with a lot of success. Most of the time they get cut out to get the ball to the winger or the play just dies with them unless they’re absurdly strong like staggs and co that can make something out of nothing.
King Gutho gonna need to play out of his skin to pull off a win in Melbourne
I haven’t read the comments because I’m watching on replay - currently 30-10 with king just scoring. Cheers for making a thread!
That first try out shown by the eels was a highlight reel one for sure.
Very good showing from the storm so far with 20 to go. Grant really stepped up and took control, something I feel he hasn’t been doing this year very much.
Hughes too - I love little Jahrome, have since his Q-cup days. He’s carving up.
Whoa what ? What a plant ! TRY EELS!
Storm under the posts. Machine continues to turn
I think thats the first time Storm haven’t score while camped in Eels quarter. And it was a Storm error
Gonna have to see a replay of the Storm player humping the head of an Eels player underneath him 🤣
56:00?
