Storm v Penrith ( Finals week 3 2021 )

[Chip and Chase]

No 10m and holding down in the ruck. Storm getting away with it again as refs put the whistle away for finals.

Still trying to figure out how Munster smashing luai in the back of the head is play on. NRL make it hard to engage with them when they are so obviously inconsistent.

Some desperate defence from both sides though. Been a good half of footy.

Amazing that storm continue to get away with wrestling and second efforts in tackles. It has been happening for about 14 years. I feel like Jake gets pinged for far less.

The slow play the ball I can handle as long as it applies to both teams. But the missed penalties against the storm for offside from a strip and the high tackle on Luai are big misses

Sutton-esque. He’s giving the Scum every advantage.

Best game all year ... Sutton a spectator ...

Be careful what you wish for... Counting on the referee not (correctly) blowing penalties is exactly how we ended up with the scourge of wrestling in the game

Good to see the grubs losing atm. If Penrith win I'm confident Penrith will beat South's.

It's actually the penalties that aren't given, rather than the penalties that are, that have the biggest impact on the game.

 

[Ranga]

Ennis showed his Melbourne hatred in the last set of 6. "C'mon Penrith, move the ball". Completely unprofessional, but I understand where he was coming from lol

 

[Yaz Eagle]

If NRL is a deadset serious organisation then Cleary won’t play the grand final. If he gets off, then Josh should fight it out at the judiciary. Just read that trials no longer count for certain suspensions.

 

[Scorpio]

Storm with only 3 props in rotation and they look very tired.

Not wishing for it .. just an observation

 

[Ranga]

lol, I think manly did the Storm no favours in how feeble we were

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Tony Kikau - Williame Williams.

 

[Scorpio]

Kikau is very hot and cold

 

[HK_Eagle]

Kikau has had a bit of a shocker

Oh dear, it looked even worse in slow motion from that angle. Why on earth Kikau dive so early

 

[Ranga]

Take Manly Weeks 1 and 3 out of the equation, this has been a cracking finals series

Like the rorters did us no favour in their feebleness.

 

[Shoe1]

Last 4 sets of six, storm
Get a six again or penalty to get out of their half. None for Penrith.

Give me Capewell over Kikau any day
