Did ya give it to the Bronco,s Supporters in true Tiger fashion? MB? ;D
Sure did Skipper,asked them to stay & enjoy the post match celebrations but they all left the stadium in a hurry after giving me curry all night.
 
Storms biggest concern now, is Cam Smith's almost certain trip to the judicary,

With his carry over points, if he is found guilty, he faces a minimum 2 weeks.

If he gets off, I can see that type of win they had the other night galvanising the side,

Ive changed my mind I think they can go all the way now, if Smith gets off.
 
Cam Smith out for the rest of the season after being charged with a grapple tackle.Big ask for the Storm to win title now.
 
I'm happy to see wrestling and grappling suspended out of the game. Hopefully this sets a precedent and similar incidents from whatever team cop at least as much, if not more. RL has never been about wrestling and grappling and I fail to see how a fan of the game could condone Smith trying to take Thaiday's head home as a trophy, regardless of being a Storm fan.
 
Probably the best RL game i've ever seen on Saturday night, except maybe the 1999 granny. Unsung hero in the game definately was Billy Slater. Saved two certain Broncos tries. What a player. Brisbane are still paying for their cheating gf win two years ago. God I hate the Broncos. Go Storm.

Fair? pfttttttttttttt.
With the chance of missing a GF it might as well be 8 weeks.A fair cop would have been one week.
The NRL have ignored many of these tackles all year.To do this to Smith is disgraceful.
 
On the grapple tackle crap I blame the NRL for letting it get to this ,

They came out ages ago and said they were going to clamp down on it,

They charged a couple of guys,

then basically let it creep back into the game and turned a blind eye,

There have been many tackles that should have been reported in the meantime,

Then we get an ugly looking tackle beamed all over our tvs all week and they are foced from media pressure into making a decision ,

What happened to the clamp down they spoke about years ago, there was'nt one,

A kneejerk reaction, Smith is a scapegoat

I'm confused then. They show it live against an afl game, but won't this week when there isn't any competition against it?

You wouldn't read about it (well, I guess you would if you are reading this ;D ) . 5 minutes after posting this, I see an ad during the footy show, storm final on at 8.30. I should complain more ;D
