Pick Your Team Storm v Warriors - [Round 6, 2025]

[Ref]

Here’s the rub.
Our 3 wins on the bounce have all been against teams who won well the week before and were clear favourites with the TAB and the “so called experts” against us.
Webster Ball has arrived, whatever the hell it is and is effective.
Boys digging in.

What Melb team will turn up? A classy one, a bad one or a bunch of grubs.. who knows..
Hope the ref's consistent, not biased.. Melbourne are a good team as it is without that sort of help.
Just carry on the way we are... try and make em play our game.. Speed is what we lack and could be what nails us..
But I've seen us cause upsets, lets hope this is one of them...

I think the storm have the top 2 inches on the warriors unfortunately

Boys digging in is exactly what we have to do. Our defence is all that really matters. Not so much points.

We simply need to defend for 87min and if we do then the points will come. Win boys. Win it.

Actually I forgot to say that we need also to give zero penalties away. They are as cunning as shit house rats in getting cheap penalties and piggy backs.

Piece of piss, then!

You expecting golden point and a CHT field goal to seal it? Me too.

Nah, but by another CNK milked penalty would be kinda funny.

This In Melbourne? Bunker will say he headbutted someone’s biceps, penalty to the Storm

Watch Harry Grant’s dirty foot swinging under the PTB every single time

Someone said it, but if our edges defend like they have been this year, we’ll get torn apart I feel. We’ve been jamming hard and forcing errors from the opposition but Melbourne would’ve seen this and are we too good to not execute. One loop skip pass to the winger and it’s over. As we’ve seen as soon as our line breaks we get scored on, as we’re too slow to turn and chase.

Jockey defence will work on them.

 

[Worried2Death]

Outside those 2 5 minute spurts where they scored 36 pts, I actually think Manly looked the better side. They were actually on top until Garrick got pinged for losing balance in the early part of the second half. From that moment on, Storm scored 3 straight over the next 5 minutes and the jig was up.

I take heart that Manly were the better side overall. Then I remember the brief 5 minute "spurts" and the 36 points and I get very worried again.

Another 14-6 to us hopefully

grant is a cheeky bastard. He loves to intentionally throw the ball at opposition defenders on the ground. He did it to Ford last year but fortunately the ref saw right through it.

Unfortunately refs favour the Storm most the time
But we can’t have D too lose in our backs
Both their wingers are good finishers
Metcalf etc got to have a go
If we just try to defend we will be run over

Just keep poking your voodoo dolls of Papenhayzen and Coates in the hammies.
