Seriously hope this marks the end of the Storm era. We need a Raiders/Panthers GF next year lol. Ftr I think it'll be Easts/Cowboys before the dust has even settled.
People on here gave Slater a lot of shit throughout his career, but he's just an incredible player. Amazing positioning, amazing acceleration, amazing pace, links well and gives teams headaches through the middle all at once. Hayne isn't even a mole on Slater's scrotum in comparisson.
Didn't see the game because I was stuck working at it, but I agree with this completely in regards to the games before this one. The ruck has become absolute trash, as has everything else, as the season progressed. Archer has to go.
In regards to refs, Archer and GreenBERG are corrupt jews. Trying to make the competition as artificial as possible. Gotta make it the "closest competition ever" for the bucks. The refs now have KPIs they gotta keep to. It was never this bad before Archer took office.
Had more than enough of the Storm. Was a real shame the ref got in Martins way early, almost certainly would've made the tackle. Heartbreaking for Fensom, I'd been so happy to see him make a grand final as he's one of my favourite players and the poor bastard cops that 3 minutes in. No idea how Smith didnt get Clive Churchill, he was outstanding.

Like fuck he did. I've watched that game probably a hundred times now and his game mamagement in the final 20 was horrendous. SBW came up with the plays that wont the game. That's the defintion of Man Of The Match.
