You know we all wanna see a game with a bunch of tries but this is one of the best games I’ve seen in a while. Just watching the storm seem to organize/materialize that incredible defence was really something. Wow what a great game of football
Incredible win. Pure guts from the Storm. One of the best defensive efforts from them in years. Defended their errors and penalties, and kept coming back for more. I have been saying for a while that defense wins premierships and doing this to the best attacking side from last year was brilliant. Panthers were impressive defensively as well, however, holding Storm to just a single try off a kick.
I was there right near where the storm scored the try. Thought Penrith cracked them a few times but no. Finally, bellamy seems to have gotten their defence in order. Ive never seen such an effort in scramble defence. Well played Storm
Yep Bellyache and his team played very very well However you must give credit to the video ref who overturned the onfield decision and disallowed the Penrith try
No. That's not the reason they didn't give it. They didn't say it was a forward pass or they didn't say player hit ball to strong to the ground which makes no sense. They said Luai interfered with the defensive line preventing them to cover the attacker. Dude, I'm a Storms fan but I like to be objective about the game. That was a Penrith try. What made me happy was the BS penalty calls that went against the Storm early on, last year Penrith scored from. Not so that night. Storm defence was a premiership level defence@@kirksdva8310
That win hurt but full credit to Storm, their defence was fantastic. Panthers had way too many handling errors and really struggled to get through the Storm defence. Well done Storm, well deserved win and really pleased Paps came through unscathed, fingers x he has a good season, just not too good thanks.
Melbourne's defence was unbelievable 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Their forwards were outstanding, captain Harry Grant 44 tackles, Xavier Coates saving a potential try 3:36 when he had two teammates down cramping. Melbourne are back. It was such an entertaining match.
What a game thanks storm players everyone stood tall at sometime Eli Katoa was magnificent along with sooo many others real gutsy team effort and very priveleged to be there Go Storm thanks again
what was astounding about it? It was standard Melbourne defence!! they will play like this n better as the season goes on. Melbourne are playn like their ready for the finals in round 1 CANT wait for the rest of the season
@@grantisshananaa4906 the only thing they threw was knock ons and short balls to second rowers. They didn’t look threatening one bit. Don’t get me wrong, storm played very well but Penrith weren’t good.
Great game....I don't know if it was Cronk not wanting to sound "biased" towards Melbourne or something, but his constant Panthers glazing on commentary was sort of upsetting.
I have followed Panthers style of Playing for a long time . Today was a different team playing. The passing was poor. No plan at times. When the Ball is in the air near the goal line they stand around. Panthers has to change this team around quick. Also learn to jump high for the ball or else the Melbourne boys will clean you out again. Goodluck Next time. There was an earth Quake Too . after the Game at Penrith Town.
Anyone else reckon the Panthers need some height/athleticism in their backs? They are gonna get caught out all the time with the little guys under kicks.
dam good game! didnt leave the longue till the finish, GREAT try line defence by Melbourne…. NO OTHER team could hold Penrith out 6 sets in a row…. Melbourne are goin to the finals series again
Contrary to popular belief, Penrith haven't been a good attacking side in years. They just pile on points once they wear the other team out. If you look at their total points in the first half of games in the last few years, its alarmingly underwhelming... Not that it matters, their defence has made up for it.
If Storm continue to play like this this season, they will be there at the end. I hope the Panthers are not, they have had their glory, time for another team to break through and shine
@@bza2354 I am actually a Broncos fan. It was really cruel what happened last year. Obviously, because Panthers won, the better team won on the day, but not the better team during the whole season, so it was tough to lose, but that is not the reason why I would like to see another team win this year. Just would like to see a more even spread and a more interesting final
The NRL interpretation of obstruction is out of control. Comes about through media pressure and bunkerized refereeing. You need to be suffering from an obsessive compulsive disorder to be a modern NRL ref. Thirty years ago, nobody goes searching for obstruction on that play. Wasn't an issue.
That obstruction call is daft. A defensive decision to come in and he's not obstructed. It is Hughes's decision that causes a defensive shortness. Catching it on the inside shouldn't apply in situations like this.
Trust me as a long time Panthers fan we have played much worse than that over the years. To be honest we generally start the season slow. I agree this was poor, very poor and if we continued like that through the year it would mean the spoon for us but it's round one so let's just see what happens. Been some big upsets already this round but yes Panthers need to improve. Good game though.
I'm a Panthers fan & it sucks that we didn't get the win but Storm definitely showed up to play that's for sure .. If Penrith didn't drop the ball every play we might have had a chance 😂😂 Plenty of good things though & it's only round 1.. We lost round 1 last year & won minor premiership & GF 🤷♂️
Overcomming fatigue and gutsing it out is what the game of League does better than any other team sport. That is why League management should never entertain the idea of four quarters.
The 2 wins from storm over the panthers didn’t mean 💩 Storm got their arses handed to them in the grand final by the panthers 😉 We are going for 5 in a row
The scoreline definitely doesn't reflect the full story of that game. Everything went the Storms way in shutting down the Panthers attack even when the Panthers got the ball across the line. You won't see that too often.
Yeah I want to know how it was obstruction when storm player was already ahead of lead runner, he got stepped, three other storm players could of made tackle, they got out played but cause he ran behind his lead runner who was 10 metres away it's a fkn penalty. We all know Melbourne was going to get rub of the green

That tackle by Xavier Coates on Liam Martin in the 72nd minute , was a beauty of a rib rattler
Xavier Coates just too good. Out of the world performance. 🥰

After obstruction Storm score.pass fovrd
Yep Bellyache and his team played very very well
However you must give credit to the video ref who overturned the onfield decision and disallowed the Penrith try
You now why Panters try disallow try reason is not obstruction just Panters player hit Ball to strong to the ground.

both had 💩loads of errors but Melbourne held strong on the try line n didnt give up, Thats sorta play is guna take em to the finals again this yr
Bro Xavier didn’t let one pass 😂😂❤
Im not even a Storm fan, but Xavier Coates in the second half defended their line and made sure Panthers had no chance to score. Well done.
Great gutsy effort from storm to get the win. Nowhere near the execution the first 2 games had. The droped ball was ridiculous

Storms centres and winger pairings has to be the tallest in nrl history..Meany, Smith, Coates and Warbrick
That was a brilliant game, Storm sheer guts
Amazing best defense
What this doesn't show is the Panthers Incredible attack. and Storms Resilient defense. this had a finals feel to it.
I wouldn’t say Panthers attack was “incredible”. Looked quite clunky and unthreatening to me.
"incredible" without even scoring a single point? 😅😂🤣 I've heard it all now 😂😂

Good win Storm I'm a Manly fan I don't even like Penrith but they will bounce back I wouldn't count them out
gotta have these two teams in the grand final again.
Great game Storms, keep up the good defence, all the best in round 2. ❤️👍

that is very true. Their attack was at its best 4 years ago and they've lost a lot of their strike over the years(Burton, Api, Kikau,Chricton).
Can anyone explain me the cleary dive?
Our defence was just too on 🌩️⛈️⚡️
Panthers ain’t gonna get a fourth this year. Teams have worked them out.

Doughnut bahahaha up the bahs bahahahaha I said it last year no Crighton on that edge the holes have opened lol
They look better without Munster
Was thinking that
Munster loves the show lights on him, 2 trick pony who is a walking ‘veteran’ penalty giver
That defense is the Kevin Walters effect...

Nah the other 2 are wrong, it's just this one.
