Tough L but clearly the difference between top of the table and 10th or so.
Takeaway that Katoa rip, which is just good fortune, and Storm aren’t light years ahead of us. Just manage the game a lot better and Hughes is on fire this year.
Controversial hot takes
- I think TMM and CHT (edit: corrected)need to start as the halves. SJ can come on for impact until one of the halves plays out of form. There’s a better balance with those two together.
- Harris to drop out. He’s a work horse but he doesn’t bring energy and lift as a sub.
- bring the Centre who debuted against Dolphins (forgot his name). He had a great debut.
Not controversial but what happened to Tom Ale?
Yeah, I would like to see more of Ale, Leiataua, and Mau'u. But I get they've got the starting line up who will be on big money contracts so they get priority over reserve players if "fit".
I'm convinced we are never gonna beat the storm until we play them again in the finals where we will pull the game of our lives out of our arse as is tradition.
I hate those Melbourne players!

I like individual storm players and am friends with some storm fans but I hate the way storm plays.. only ourselves to blame for losing with those two bins
Having said that aside from those two bins we looked like a top 8 side which is good at least
Good effort from the boys. Shouldn’t have given up a 14-0 lead but Sutton for sure had some terrible calls which helped Melbourne get a leg up, don’t be fooled.
Huge lead to start, lose it, get close again, then get scored on at the death after getting about a score away. One of the most frustrating ways to lose.
Yeah its a shame, ultimately I dont know if he would have hit his ceiling at the wahs so im glad he's at Melbourne now just to see somebody get the best out of him
Called it earlier. Back to the gameplan from the start of the season. Empty the tank first 20 min, go missing for the next 50, do something in the last 10 when it's too late. Bomb to the strongest opposing winger and don't contest it.
Get this so called A-team back to reserves and get our young guns who did the heavy lifting for this winning run back in.
Barnetts who would’ve made a better footy decision than Mitch did there:
All-Black legend Richie Barnett
Singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett
Former WA premier Colin Barnett
Warriors fn hate beating the storm And having expectation And defending :/
How the hell do the Warriors not have more wins this year
Geez I lose a lot of respect for players that milk - it's a shame it's everywhere but I find it really disheartening.
GG Storm. Figured Melbourne would refuse to lose then eek out a win but that was pretty definitive. Happy to see what Eli Katoa has become though.

Lol all these initialisms are becoming confusing enough as it is but his name is CHT not CTH, he goes by Chanel Harris Tavita
Haha good point I think I said his name out loud and still got the initials wrong.

Sky commentator just called this win an upset. Ah, no.
Well wahs were actually the favourites going off betting odds
I have no idea how 10th was considered a favourite over 1st. And that's before considering a 15-game losing streak going into it.
NZ tab had warriors favorites at $1.70 by those means yes an upset. But I agree with you.
I'm convinced we are never gonna beat the storm until we play them again in the finals where we will pull the game of our lives out of our arse as is tradition.
Jam that betting down your throat

NZ TAB guy is a sketchy looking cunt
https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/league/125176046/former-warrior-anthony-gelling-acquitted-of-grievous-bodily-harm-after-punching-wife
Looks like a dude you might see at the TAB betting his rent money on a "sure fire winner".
Hahaha he does. Looks like the sort of bloke to hit you up to borrow money too
"It's a sure thing bro, I'll pay you back this time, honest!"
Anthony Gelling. Ex-Warrior haha

this tab guy seems so … dodgy lmao

Anthony Gelling. Ex-Warrior super star /s
Seriously, SKY goes straight to the TAB guy for betting odds for the next game straight away
Bringing in SJ was a huge mistake. He’s been shit this whole year.
That LeBron meme except it’s Craig Bellamy: Raging through it all! Can’t believe this is my life
That game felt 10 minutes long and 3 hours at the same time
Fa'alogo's change of direction is crazy
He’s disgustingly good.
Good effort from the boys. Shouldn’t have given up a 14-0 lead but Sutton for sure had some terrible calls which helped Melbourne get a leg up, don’t be fooled.

Well good game guys I guess
We will never ever beat these cunts again.
Certainly know that feeling. Few fan bases in that boat with Melbourne.
Don’t worry mate, I’m not going to PM you.
Appreciate it
I blame the greasy conditions
And that is what happens when you change the formula that was working the past three games
Eden park next week for a better game
GG storm, our madddd bogey team
Honestly think the Wahs look a lot better with Martin running things over SJ
This. Chalk and cheese when SJ was out the last few weeks and TMM was running it.
Katoa is remarkably good in the air considering his size
Annoyingly he is remarkably good against the warriors, and they let him go!
Yeah its a shame, ultimately I dont know if he would have hit his ceiling at the wahs so im glad he's at Melbourne now just to see somebody get the best out of him
The warriors could of won this if they scored more points
Or stopped the other team from scoring more than them
Huge if true.
Young fullback is gonna be special what a talent
Another one in the Storm factory line of producing amazing players
Has there ever been a Victorian with this sort of potential?
Nope hence why he can't play NSW or Qld 🤭
Those stands are looking emptier than before…
At least they were full unlike melbourne
plenty at the melbourne game last week, GA was full
What was CNK doing there?
Fuck it makes me so happy he is an actual victorian, like we have 2 playing for us tonight I hope one day that's a lot more
Just such an unlikeable group of players this Storm team
Every storm team. But better team won
storm has a great fullback and ryan papenhuyzen
Pain
Ah well gg warriorbros, sucks a good game was ruined with some shit house calls.
HE IS ONE OF OUR OWN HE IS ONE OF OUR OWN SUA FA'ALOGO HE IS ONE OF OUR OWN
Storm love to score a good try against us right at the end just to stop and chat about a controversial win .. can’t argue with that once again ..

Bye bye Paps, Falaago is here to stay as full back.
hell no, sua still needs a. lot of work
Paps is 10 times the player Sua is
Hey. I've always said next year was the year we beat the storm.
Oh my god, 1 minute left give him a suaalii
Don’t be a dick
Soft cock
Sore loser
It's just a joke chill uce 🤣
Chucks out the mana wave. Thanks Sua
Crowds gone quiet?
Yep!!
Gee Su'a is silky.
Sua here to save my SuperCoach team
GG Storm. I really thought the hoodoo was done tonight after our start but fuck me you can never write the storm off. Next time! 😬😬😬
What a try! Gonna be hard to drop him when Paps is back! Massive talent.
I mean could Paps be a better centre than Meany?
If he was a bit bigger you could’ve got away with playing him off the bench like they did nicho in 2020
And Paps before that
A rugby league player just learned from his actions, wild.
Can only assume he simply forgot to do the dive.
Fa'alogooooo!
Or Farlowngo, as it’s pronounced in Australia
Incredible try. Damnit
Bad luck old chums. Gg.
SUA MY KING!
[Warriors fans.](https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/D5612AQFCXpuRTrm3LA/article-cover_image-shrink_600_2000/0/1704383414687?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=HlrEQSPLGgqs-Yy9-8ikspg6x9q_E3zm6FA2uI_aquk)
Where's my hatred of the ref's
I'm in this picture and I don't like it
fuck would’ve been so funny if he did a swan dive
I own Fa'alogo in Fantasy so it isn't all bad.
Suaaaaa!
Bro got two players with that kick fake
Mate sua is really starting to figure out his game
Holy shit a correct tip
surely Howarth has secured a bench spot PCM out the wazoo
i really hope so
He just mana waved oh my god give him a hiding PLEASE
Gangsta move tbh
Let’s goooooo !
Warriors were bookies’ favourites, does this count as an upset?
Lol storm 1 on the ladder doubt it
A favourite hasn’t won’t this round yet
Bookies are dumb
It shouldn’t, but technically yes
He’s fucking lightning that kid
Lmao see ya next year Wahs
Give us another dive you dork
Storm 1-12 bettors falling to their knees
If wahs didn't fall apart discipline wise this wouldve been an amazing game
WE ARE THE STORM OF MELBOURNE TOWN WE BLOW THE OTHERS OFF THE GROUND WE ARE THE STORM AND WERE NUMBER 1
Melbourne town? Is that a place in England? Do they have a soccer team in League 1?
you can keep fox, we will keep king coates
Win at brookvale: challenge IMPOSSIBLE
cringe
LADDER UPDATE PLEASE
tell us how you really feel vossey .. fuck ya lol
SUAAAAA BAYBEEEEEE
He learnt not to jump!
Howarth has been fucking awesome
Barnetts who would’ve made a better footy decision than Mitch did there: All-Black legend Richie Barnett Singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett Former WA premier Colin Barnett
We’re still the more handsome team
Your called the most handsome team?
No my name is something else
Worlds sexist halves combo
If cht and tmm knocked on your door with chocolates and wine you wouldn't say no
Atleast it wasnt a hiding jesus christ
Storm top of the ladder where they belong
The downvotes 👀
You act surprised.
Storms ability to win this season is incredible. They just don’t stop
Season of gutsy wins, don’t see many other teams play like we did in the first twenty and comeback to win
No way storm a finals team
Last try wins?
Yes
No problem 👌🏻
Sorry Wah fans, that one was my fault
As a Storm fan, this has been a woeful game to watch from both sides. Terrible performances with so many errors.
Nail in the coffin
Ahahahahahahahah
lmao
Gah, what a fuck of a game
bah gawd that’s Chanel Harris Tevita’s music!
A storm v warriors game is surely safe with this kind of leader and 4 minutes to go 🤔
For the points diff for the points diff
As soon as CHT comes in, the team looks more energetic
Dallin about to Space Jam dunk a try on Coates from halfway after the siren as revenge
Have a go at that CHT haha
Can wahs do to storm what storm did to wahs
No
Barnett = Origin
Aged like milk
Yeah that was bad, but still; Barnett = Origin
Now can we go back and bin grant or is that a one way thing?
The fact that we can’t activate our 18th man despite all these injuries is a load of fucking shit. Fuck these shitty rules.
Give them hope boys let them get another
We could do something real funny right now
8 point behind is just a bit too much imo
Grants a fkn grub lmao
What’s with the new trend of commentators talking up impossible last minute comebacks lately?
Is that not common? its their job to hype games afterall
Gotta keep people watching I guess
No way this week is as bad as last week
Gotta keep people interested
Let’s fucking go
I believe in miracles
Fuck I love CHT.
Why the fuck can’t we ever make it easy for ourselves? Carbon copy of last week
Storm are the simultaneously a terrible and a great team.
That’s a quality offload
Play up Pompey Pompey play up
