Not watching game....how on earth are the eels winning?

The Panthers won't be so kind next week

 

[MissKate]

Not watching game....how on earth are the eels winning?

Because the scum are playing like rubbish

 

[Bearfax]

I love to play the conspiracy game. Not likely, but is Melbourne letting Parra win in the hope Manly may slip up so they dont have to face Sea Eagles in the semis. Just a thought. Real conspiracy stuff there but I like to be the fly in the ointment.

Storm player pulling Nico Hines up was stupid - could have caused more damage

It was Paps pulling up Hynes

 

[nightster]

Ahhh the genius of Arfur

 

[AlxFromNthNarra]

Munster is such a flog.

There was nothing in that tackle, and he's looking for blood coming out of the nose - which isn't coming because he didn't hit you high you prick.

Yet he gets 6-again for play-acting.

Screw this game and what it is becoming. Maybe I should watch Ronaldo playing for Man United....

 

[HK_Eagle]

Paps is a shadow of himself. He has failed to contest bombs all night and constantly off the pace in attack

They're certainly not playing the same brand of football they have for most of the season, looks to me like They're throwing it

 

[davohan123]

You know I hate this tonight

You won't see storm play this bad every again this year.

This is a shadow of the storm side we faced a few weeks ago.

Craig will have storm primed for the rest of the year.

Parra are playing OK but storm have been well well below there best.

 

[davohan123]

Storm I know no one will ever prove it but it looks like they have thrown this game.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Paps is crap. He has lost it

 

[mickqld]

Storm have tanked this.

doubt it.... on points differential will still be minor premiers

I wouldn't be so sure. I wouldn't be surprised to see them struggle to get their mojo back. I reckon we are a real red hot chance of taking them out in the finals

 

[davohan123]

26/38 completion for storm says enough that's not them.

Seriously having both grant and Smith started screwed them tonight.

Well even after parra winning tonight we still need to win both remaining games by any margin we do that we are 4th drop 1 game and probably 5th.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Maybe the Storm have peaked too early.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Ref have also allowed Parra to hold down for an eternity when defending their line. Normally you would see 6 to gi but different rules for Parra

Hope you are right!!!
Well one thing is for sure I would hate to be the sharks next week storm are not going to play this poorly for 2 weeks in a row

 

[XV-1]

Excellent game. Parra have proved that they can play footy. If they play like this in the semis, they can beat any team.

Overall, I think this is the loss that Melb needed. It would have been hard to go thru the rest of the season undefeated.

I hope Manly are on their game tomorrow and not complacent.

 

[nightster]

I think Bellyache has made a real mistake by taking Hynes out of FB and forcing Paps back in. I get what he was thinking/hoping, but it hasn't worked at all.

The myth that is Papenhauzen
