What happened at half time?

[The Who]

Melbourne Storm almost never lose when leading a half time.
Melbourne Storm have never conceded 40 points in one half of football.
Easts needed a win to guarantee their place in the final eight.
Melbourne Storm had already qualified for the top two.
There is no punishment for NRL teams which tank.
15 minutes is plenty of time for a bank transfer . . .

You cynic!
Chooks applied a lot of pressure which storm backup players handled in the 1st half but it took a toll.

Don't forget 40-nil - it was only about 8-nil at halftime.
Also similar to our recent flogging by Dogs, the pressure builds and then the dam bursts.

There seems to be some v questionable outcomes. Teams are def pulling results to favour who they play in the finals

The Roosters could have left by 20 at half time except for some desperate scrambling by the Storm. Maybe not to the extent that it did, but I always felt the flood gates would open.

Roosters are my smokey. Good mix of youth and veterans. With Sam walker back for the finals, anything could happen

There's no way the Storm would prefer the Roosters as a prospective finals opponent over us or the Dolphins. They lost because they rested key players.

Well they have lost to both us and the Phins this season

I believe Radley placed an order with Smith and he delivered the goods at half time 🤣

To which team? Smith played for both… lol

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

The whole thing is a stitch up , everything designed by the broadcasters / betting companies to have the highest rating teams in the finals.

It’s ALL about the $$$$$$$$ now , we the fans are just stupid ****ing pawns in a gigantic **** show.

If the Storm wanted to beat Easts so badly why did they rest key players?
