Review post from Friday night open.substack.com/pub/stormmac...

ICYMI: the Knights are the worst attacking team through eight rounds in the last decade and commit the most unforced errors in the NRL. Also the Warriors are winning with their Penrith-lite gameplan

Despite doing a Monday post, it's still a little bit out of date www.maroonobserver.com/p/charting-t...

If it walks like a crackdown and it talks like a crackdown… it’s probably time for Magic Round. The refs are just following orders, they don’t deserve hounding from the fans for doing their jobs. Head office (Vlandys, Abdo, Annesley etc) on the other hand…

Beau Fermor getting David Fifita's haircut seems to have improved his play

What the media wants you to think is possible for 2027 versus what the Bears will actually sign

RECORD CROWDS* are the new SELL OUT *With three or four qualifiers attached

Breaking Down 4 Missed Tackles & 3 Tries We often see tackle efficiency used in isolation for why a player or team is good or bad defensively. It’s not only a fairly unreliable number, but it should also be judged differently by position.

With tonight's result, the 2025 NRL Circle of Parity is officially complete

Roll around "tomorrow it's Anzac day, the most inspirational day of the year, here on Fox league" in the brain Up there with fresh in our memories for mine

lol

You're not supposed to do all your mean regression in 40 minutes. You're supposed to spread it out a bit.

Dogs clearly not respectful enough of the troops.

Warren Smith says the crowd's not in yet Crowd is actuallt hiding from rain Gets a tap on the shoulder that it's raining in Brisbane Ennis mentions the rain twice in his post try "analysis" Seamless stuff

This week I've had a look at which teams generate the most run metres from their back three in 2025 and over the past decade. Coincidentally, we'll see the best and worst teams at it this season on Thursday evening at Suncorp. www.rugbyleagueeyetest.com/2025/04/22/w...

Round 7 Review What's to come this week... - The Flow Moses Brings To Parramatta’s Attack - “What are your thoughts on the dogs?" - Katoa’s Pass - A Quick Highlight - Setting Up For A Shot: Was this on purpose? - Try Time: Another Scrum Variation

I just want to watch the Stawell Gift without the LNP ramming their POLITICAL AGENDA down my throat. nmNo politics in sport. Whokeness gone mad I tell you.

It's the third most Phins have ever been up 1. Beat the Broncos last year 2. Beat the Roosters in the first game 3. Beat the Storm 4. 1965 premiership 5. Repeatedly dacking the Titans

It'd be very funny if the Dolphins end up having a fairly normal relationship with the Storm in comparison to the Broncos

Always fun when you see the AFL equivalent of a NRL themed ad. Like going to Shelbyville.

10 years ago, Kristian Woolf coached his first senior side to a Grand Final at Suncorp, where his fullback was the same guy who is the halfback for the Storm #NRLDolphinsStrom #HostplusCup

No, the way Luai, Koroisau and Turuva left the Panthers is not the same as what's happening with Galvin now #NRL www.beyondthegoalpost.com/p/false-equivalences

Given what Kevin Walters has been through, we should all aspire to be as enthusiastic and chipper as he

🚨 PREVIEW POST 🚨 Easter x Storm history, and a look ahead to Melbourne’s first trip to Lang Park for 2025. open.substack.com/pub/stormmac...

Me, last night, furiously writing and watching media watch to get a factual basis for making fun of PVL that I can now share with you
