Enjoyed the game...as people on here were pointing out on Friday night, you don't need a shedload of scores for that when seeing two excellent defences slog it out.
Storm were lying on something rotten, and the ref was not penalising them as much as I would have thought was justified. But its Silverwood, and we know all about that. More to the point, Leeds have perfected the art of lying on to the nanosecond, so in a way it was poetic justice that another side who practiced that tactic to perfection proved to be their nemesis. Maybe losing Sinfield made the difference, but Watkins and Leeds blew their chances and Storm took theirs. But you always felt Storm would power on with a late flourish I thought?
I was not supporting and never could support Leeds in that match, but had they managed to sneak it at the end (rather than it going the other way) I would have had no difficulty in congratulating them on a ground-out win.. As it is, the congrats go to Melbourne.
Bulls still have the bragging rights in WCC stakes...!
