A dour but high quality game.

The better team won. The Storm scored a soft try after 22mins. That was it.

I was impressed when the Storm team went into beast mode in the 2nd half. Both these teams have gears other don't.

However, the Panthers were dominant for most of the game.

It certainly looked a try to Howarth. Its @ 2.51 on this video:

You can see the Ref some distance in the background. There's no way he could award it; it came down to the Video Ref. Another angle showed someones hand under the ball. On the video, it looks a try.

However ...




Anyway, losers can weep. Doesn't mattter mate, Panthers still would've won. You can mass debate it all you want with fellow losers. The better team on the night won.

At least Harry Grant and his team were gracious in defeat, even if their supporters can't be.

When did Australians become such whingers? Or is it just Melbourne and Souths supporters?
