Storm Find Easy Win Over Broncos

// June 6th, 2009 // No Comments » // NRL, Storm

Leading into the Match-up against the Broncos, I predicted a 50 nil win for the Storm. I was close! The Storm ended up with a massive win, 48-4 in front of a massive Melbourne crowd at Olympic Park a.k.a. The Graveyard.

Storm and Broncos were both backing up after the State of Origin, however Broncos were without their leader Lockyer.

Storms leading point scorer in the big victory was young gun Jospeh Tomane, who not only got over for three of his own tries, but was the goal kicker on the night, kicking 5 of his conversions through the posts, giving him a total of 24 points of the 48 scored by the Storm. (more…)

Hot Pies Not So Hot

Pies running through the banner

The Pies went into the game as underdogs, as they were missing important players  John Anthony, Alan Didak,  Paul Medhurst, and Leon Davis. And sure enough, those outs were enough to render the Pies useless in front of goal.

The first quarter was reasonably equal in terms of skills and possession time. The end result of the opening 20 minutes was 1.4.10 to 3.3.21, the Saints leading.

However, St Kilda dominated the last 3 quarters to beat the Pies by 88 points. The final score being 20.8.128 to 5.10.40.

St Kilda dominated the play during the remaining 3 quarters, out-classing the Pies easily, with the Pies being made to look like headless chooks! Pies players continued to handball to team mates in worse positions that themselves, resulting in turnovers. (more…)
