2016 NRL Finals - Week 3 - MATCH THREAD

[Graham]

Biased commentary

[Futtocks]

Rapana try planted on the line in the corner from a great pass.

Spot on with the conversion, too.

[Graham]

Raiders 54% possession

[Graham]

Storm over but lost the ball.

[Futtocks]

Regardless of the outcome, Sticky has built a far better team than I thought he ever could. 

[Graham]

Bunker boy looking says knock on Storm

L o o o o n g deliberation.

[Lounge Room Lizard]

Another strange decision from the bunker

[Futtocks]

Vital ball-steal from Munster, there.

[Graham]

Canberra moving up quick.

[Graham]

Cronk over.

[Graham]

Storm showing they can be dangerous too.

[Futtocks]

Cronk over.

Next to the posts, too, so Melbourne should be back in the lead.

[RSN]

Was anyone 100% sure he grounded that ball?

[Graham]

6-6

Conversion from in front.

Storm 8-6

[Graham]

Was anyone 100% sure he grounded that ball?

Yes, he did.

Replay did show it. I wondered first time round though.

[Lounge Room Lizard]

The old firm again with Munster. Munster is all class again. One on one vital steal. He is causing Canberra so much problem and is the real danger man and is creating space for others. 

[Futtocks]

Half time already? Breathless! 

[Lounge Room Lizard]

Nothing wrong with the tackle/hit on Suli, but the stupdity afterwards was worth a penalty against Canberra

[Graham]

Half time

Storm 8 - 6 Raiders

Tiring and hectic, and that's just for us watchers!

[Graham]

Munster is one of those tough springy types with natural talent and good instincts.

[Lounge Room Lizard]

Canberra much better in attack and have stretched the Storm a number of times. Croker sadly is not 100% but Canberra look very good and effective, But have only one try. Discipline is very poor and is assisting Melbourne. Could hurt Canberra later in the game with the silly penalties. Munster for me is the key to this game. Canberra need to shut him down. Can somebody shut Gus Gould up? He just talks nonsense most the time and very anti Melbourne/Queensland.

[Graham]

Second half underway

[Graham]

They are saying Storm are too clinical.

[Lounge Room Lizard]

Canberra milking a penalty all the time. No need for it

[Farmduck]

If Smith knocked that ball strip on then why wasn't it a penalty for Welch picking it up in front of him?
