When Melbourne get on a roll in a night match at Olympic Park, they can destroy any team in the comp. That's what happened last night. It was only 18-10 at half time, but they just ran riot in the 2nd half.

Penrith are just not the same team without Gower and Girdler.

I was being kind to them as they had a lot of players missing, other wise i'd put the boot into them, the storm have always been the quickest scoring team in the comp and are nearly unbeatable down there.Away they are 20 pts inferior team.

I don't agree Goldmember. 20 points is a massive difference. If last nights match was played over and over again I'm sure the average scoreline would be closer.

Also 8-9 players out? How?

They've got a few stepping up to SOO, do they seriously have 4-5 out injured?

Yes. And most importantly, Gower is out. As I said, they're just not the same team without him.
