Melbourne storm

[rockfisherman]

As much as much as I HATE the storm...

They are an amazing team that incorporate skill, fitness and tactics. Some people would describe them as "clinical" in the way they play, which isn't far from the truth. They just crushed manly 40-12.

I think I hate them because they're so good and have been for so long.

i dont hate the storm - i hate all the other NRL sides because they are lazy !!!

the storm are so focused and, as you say clinical, the other NRL sides have no excuse but to adapt to these new tactics to remain competitive !!

im a doggies supporter, and a hawks supporter in the AFL - so this weekend is a big one for me.

but if the "storm dynasty" happened in AFL - it would have lasted half a season before the other teams caught onto these new tactics - not fkn 7 years !!!

the hawks (coach clarkson really) pioneered new interchange rotation tactics, flooding defensive line tactics - these were game changing and really only lasted less than a year before everyone was doing it

seriously there is no reason a football team should be in the grand final 5 out of the last 7 years - dont get me wrong they deserve it (cap or not) but the other NRL sides just sux. they just dont come close

sry about the rant - one too many beers after work

I Agree. Rugby League is a simple game too.

Can't wait for The Lions Tour next year! hahaha

Manly were pathetic tonight, played their worst game of the season. I'm going for whoever plays Melbourne.

Go Manly 2013!!!!

Quite. And the Chihuahuas only won after Reynolds was crocked. Bunnies were in control at the time.

and don't any one say 1 player can't have that much of an impact... Melbourne lost something like 5 in a row after slater got injured in origin.
