Live Match Discussion Round 22: Storm vs Eels

Second rate commentator standing in for the legendary @Whirlybird@aussie.zone

Will this be a good footy game?

100%. The boys look fired up to give 110%, so footy will be the winner.

Eels doing a Roosters impersonation. Cannot hold a team out for 6 inside the 20m....

Storm try, convert, 24-10

2
No1 - 2.4yr

And that's halftime

Storm 24-10 Eels

Time for oranges. Maybe double oranges 😜

2
No1 - 2.4yr

Whoa what ? What a plant ! TRY EELS!

2
No1 - 2.4yr

Early Captain's challenge....

2
Whirlybird - 2.4yr

So so dumb. You should never be challenging a knock on call in a tackle that early in the game.

2
No1 - 2.4yr

Pen for Parra will help.

Pretty good game so far. Low errors. Good pace and variety in play.

2
No1 - 2.4yr

Do centres even do anything anymore?

They never get the ball. There's no room to move. There's always an edge forward marking them as well.

2
Whirlybird - 2.4yr

Yeh centre is kind of a weird position in the modern game. It could - and often is - just be filled with an edge back rower with a lot of success. Most of the time they get cut out to get the ball to the winger or the play just dies with them unless they’re absurdly strong like staggs and co that can make something out of nothing.

2
No1 - 2.4yr

And another easy try for Storm.

They don't need to do anything fancy/creative to score so far...

2
No1 - 2.4yr

King Gutho gonna need to play out of his skin to pull off a win in Melbourne

2
Whirlybird - 2.4yr

I haven’t read the comments because I’m watching on replay - currently 30-10 with king just scoring. Cheers for making a thread!

2
Whirlybird - 2.4yr

That first try out shown by the eels was a highlight reel one for sure.

2
No1 - 2.4yr

Another first half captains challenge.

Unsuccessful again.

Clowns!

2
Whirlybird - 2.4yr

Very good showing from the storm so far with 20 to go. Grant really stepped up and took control, something I feel he hasn’t been doing this year very much.

Hughes too - I love little Jahrome, have since his Q-cup days. He’s carving up.

No1 - 2.4yr

Yes, welcome back!

I think thats the first time Storm haven't score while camped in Eels quarter. And it was a Storm error

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Storm under the posts. Machine continues to turn

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Gonna have to see a replay of the Storm player humping the head of an Eels player underneath him 🤣

56:00?

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Eels tried, but no go, then Storm march down and score again.

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Parra left hand attack needs more brains...

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Parra score? Slack from Storm!

Time enough if they're good enough.

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Munster just beat Gutho twice. As well as three other Eels...

1
No1 - 2.4yr

66' That'll do, pig. That'll do.

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Parra haven't played as bad as the scoreboard.

But Storm cruising. Premiership chance 😡

1
No1 - 2.4yr

And that's the end of our solocast this evening. Did we enjoy the game?

100%! And the solocast team will continue to give 110% until one day we give 120%!

Until next time, stay classy NRL 🏈😆

No1 - 2.4yr

Check out all these NRL trophies that Melbourne won cheating the cap and the rules!

Very cool

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Lol stupid. Not gonna win the match in the first 10 mins

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Melbourne wrestling and slowing down the play the ball is elite

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Oooh close again, Eels!

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Too easy for Melbourne. Grant is very good

And Storm lead. Next is important

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Multiple 6 agains for the Storm. Can Eels stop them?

Yes, just!

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Parra need to show up right now. Dangerous period before half time

1
No1 - 2.4yr

And another try for the Storm. Bad miss by Gutho

Listen to me, Eels!

1
No1 - 2.4yr

Parra score! That's basically against the run of play.

Eels back in the game.

HALF TIME HOT TAKE

Loving Gutho's tribute to Fergie. No, not that Fergie, I mean chrome dome Rooster legend Blake 'Fergie' Ferguson.

Whirlybird - 2.4yr

Geez that was pathetic defence on Munsters try.
