Message: [QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 3560898, member: 9518"] There is not much to say after reading all the comments last night and this morning. I was too far gone to comment last night as I had cracked a nice bottle of red for dinner (to calm the nerves) and it was so good I had finished it before the first 10 minutes of the game. So after we got to the 60 minute stage I knew we had totally bullyed them had blooded them and clinically broken their spirit. So I cracked open a bottle of Royal Lochnagar to start the celebrations. This was not just a breaking of the hoodoo this was a loud and clear statement to the rest of the teams that shouted - after breaking your balls against the next team to progress you still have to then come up against the Broncos. Our goal line defence won this game for us as it left Munster, Hughes and Grant scratching their heads wondering what to do next. Make no mistake the storm were not clunky last night. They had enough ball in our 20M zone to win two games but our stoic defence just kept turning them away. Two bits of individual brilliance stood out for me on our goal line. Not sure exactly the time but the grubs looked like they were gaining some ascendancy and were looking dangerous and then up popped Billy Walters to snuff out their efforts. Later there was a kick through by Hughes that invariably gets them a result but Ezra plucked it out of the air like a thief in the night and just like that the storm knew their race had been run and they had come stone motherless last. The whole team played as a team and it would be churlish of me to mention any of our short-comings this early. Instead I just want to bask in the glory for the next few days and then I'll re-focus on the games ahead. Well done to every voice that rung out at the stadium too last night. When Smoothy kicked that 40/20 I got the feeling back that I used to get when we were winning back to back GFs. We've got one hell of a side that is still building. [/QUOTE]
