Will COOPER CRONK get his 6th consecutive MOM award this week?

We have never beaten Melbourne at AAMI park...
MOTM?? Depends on who the channel 9 commentators talk up the most , if they want Cronk to keep getting it he only needs half a good performance...Gould will do the rest, but my pic is Morris to come good.

Kicking to Slater is not the answer; he always leaps to take the ball, putting his feet into the attacking players. Make him chase the ball. Unfortunately, that requires someone to look before they kick. I don't see us doing that.

We can reduce the penalties by not holding down in tackles, and keeping hands off the ball. But, it all comes down to confidence. A few good plays could turn the game our way.
Hopefully we can hang with them for a lot the game and steal it in last couple of minutes. Can't see us putting a score on them.

Jim Dymock mentioned in his "journal" that hopefully we will see some good attack, and we might see some new plays from the boys.

Coaching staff have definitely been on the kennel. If we see a kick in behind a rushing Melbourne defense, then yep it's confirmed. Des is clearly a kenneler.

Terry Kennedy already mentioned it to Des, Des laughed and said you should be a coach Terry. Was also replayed on the Grill Team and on NRL 360

Pissed down like nothing on earth a little while ago, the turf is going to be soaked to the sh*thouse.
It's gonna be a wet and slippery game tonight. Expect a lot of drop balls and missed tackles.

Was planning on going to the game, but if this rain comes back, we won't be able to see 3 rows in front of us let alone the field.

Things that will win us the game: Injure Smith/Cronk/Slater. I'm willing to see 3 of our boys get sidelined for a while just to see these 3 scumbags sit out for half a season. Would be worth it.. can't get much worse at this point.

Des needs to promote a no hoper from the lower divisions... get him on the field with the sole purpose of intentionally injuring either Cam Smith, Cronk or Slater. How hard can it be to kick someone's knee extremely hard from an angle. Hell, promote me and i'll do it.

Well, in the wrap up clearly Des read the thread and took some things out of it.

1. We did some short kicks through the line, not many admittedly but on at least one occasion we got a repeat set.

2. We did follow our long kicks downfield well and put the Storm under pressure to come out.

Unfortunately, Halatau gave away his regulation penalty in the play the ball and T-Rex was a passenger.

We played well and for parts of the match were the better team. There is something wrong on our left side. Our right side is as good as any in the comp and seemed to dominate the Storm but our left side isn't working.

We played pretty good, I wasn't too disappointed after the game

We lacked in areas which will be fixed with the immediate return of key players

You take certain players out of Melbourne or Manly and lose that game by more then 4pts. So super proud of the boys

It was an awsome display by the boyz, Hasler will have the luxury of being able to dump under performing players for form rookies if it comes to it.

The left side has had too many changes from the pre-season right up to round 2. Round three was only the 2nd time with Mitch Brown on the wing but this time T-rex joined the left. Thats why set-plays, defence and attack can weaken if the combinations arent clicking amongst the players. It felt like Morris once again took the ownership on himself for attacks, but this will change.
