NRL Round 26 2016 - Melbourne Storm v Cronulla Sutherland Sharks @ AAMI Park, Saturday 3 September 7:30pm

[CrazyMatt]

And another 26-6.

 

[CrazyMatt]

Their stripped ones? Ok

Still have more legit ones then us.

 

[evertonshark]

Melbourne's completion rate. 30/33. In a big game. These guys are unbelievable in big games. Total pros.

And we've just caved in and been totally outplayed. Not good

 

[sharkstragic]

Smoked . Did we even turn up tonight.

 

[common]

Disappointed in this game. Sharks looked good when they moved the ball. But no one tried to control the game. Which is where Maloney/Chad should. No control at all cost us. More so than the wrestle.

 

[BurgoShark]

First flop penalised seen about 2 dozen

This is how they roll in the NRL. Team gets shafted all game, and then when the score line is beyond doubt they get a few calls to balance it out.

Yeah, Melbourne are just Melbourne, did anyone really expect anything else, I'm ok with this, we haven't played all that bad.

We will beat Canberra next week.

Hate to say it. But we choked on the occasion again. I hope we don't play these guys in the finals, we won't beat them.

Not without Ennis we won't.

 

[19ninety9]

Not without Ennis we won't.

Yeah mate she'll be right, we will win next week, well done the storm, complete performance.

 

[evertonshark]

Not without Ennis we won't.

Meh he was just about the worst player on the field tonight

 

[sharkgaz]

Ennis kicks way too much before the last tackle. Sometimes on the 2nd or third. Comes off just over 10% of the time I reckon.

 

[Gards]

Oh well that trophy will be stripped off them in 5 years. Cudnt have gone to a bigger bunch of corrupt **** bags

 

[Greg86]

All you say is I hope these blokes learnt a lot from this, it's finals time and we aren't going to get any hand outs.

We missed our chances and that cost us

 

[CrazyMatt]

Final score 26-6. Beaten comprehensively tonight. We simply cannot handle the big occasion, that's why the premiership looks a long shot. Melbourne handle it better then anyone, near perfect performance by them tonight. Hopefully Ennis gets a miracle at the judiciary this week.

 

[Sutty]

The problem was the Storm being allowed to lay all over the tackle. Every tackle. 3 seconds laying on top without getting penalised, allowing the Storm players to get off the tackle one at a time. Limp dick referee. If they are too scared to blow a penalty in the finals, Storm will win comp hands down. Absolutely stifles attacks.

Our handling has gone to ****, Bird was terrible again.

 

[CrazyMatt]

Yeah mate she'll be right, we will win next week, well done the storm, complete performance.

Talk to me when you come back to reality.

Meh he was just about the worst player on the field tonight

He had an off night but he's still our most important player.

 

[common]

Maloney was the one that played like a bag of dicks.

 

[Sutty]

Maloney was the one that played like a bag of dicks.

Most halves would when they can't get a quick play the ball ever.

 

[CrazyMatt]

Maloney was the one that played like a bag of dicks.

Melbourne pressured him all night, had no time to do anything.
