The support for Cronulla and the atmosphere will be spectacular. The people who dislike Gallen, Fifita abd Ennis will put that to one side for three hours.

Calling all Cowboys supporters to get onboard the Sharks bandwagon like we did for you last year. Everyone deserves a first premiership.

meh, both sides can EAD. If it was anyone but gal lifting the trophy it you do win i would probably lean towards you guys breaking your cherry

Close game imo might come down to who doesn't get frustrated. Storm don't chase well of late and seem to get flustered and make bad decisions when down. As for sharks they have Gallen, the type of guy that will wave his arms in the air and complain about something while an opposing play will run right by him

Your support means a lot mate. Thank you.

Gal is a merkin towards QLD but most of it it theatre.

You think we wanted to see JT and Scott lifting the trophy? Hell no

 

[Pete Cash]

Im pretty good with whoever wins. I dont like a few of the sharks (fifita mostly) but i like the sharks fans on this forum largely

if there was a vote for which teams fanbase you like the most outside of your own on lu i would vote shark fans.

The storm i actually quite like lol. Cam Smith has reached the point now where i cant help but respect him. Yeah he had two contracts, yeah he is a cheat, yeah he has spent a decade just destroying nsw but he has crossed over into the love to hate category rather than just hate.

The storm fans are starting to get a touch of the bronco fans about them where they cry because folks have legit reasons to dislike them but they are mostly ok.

So yeah i just hope its a good game. It might be nice to see gal get one back on smith so the scoreboard isnt smith 506 gal 0 at retirement.

Just like to congratulate Sharks fans on making the GF and let's all hope for a good memorable game.
A Storm loss won't be too bad given what thwme Sharks are trying to achieve.
If Sharks ARE to win then they did so by overcoming the best team of the modern era.
My favourite matchup is the wingers battle lol. Holmes v Koroibete

 

[moffla]

Head and heart both saying we will win.

Yeah the fairy tale is there for the Sharks - but we are too well drilled in big games. Our past three have proven just that, but then again we will not have the support of the home crowd this time around.

Extremely nervous - but this reminds me of 2012 where we just went and got the job done. If things don't go our way, well Igenuinely like Gallen despite his reputation so I wouldn't feel completely disgusted seeing him hold the trophy aloft.

I like the look on the other side of the field.

Vunivalu v Feki.

Complete mismatch on the high ball.

I am 50:50 at the moment on who to tip. The Sharks are playing well and are hungry for a title while the Storm are also playing professionally well and have done it all before.
Will the storm get blown off the park by the Sharks or will the Storm grind out a tough win like they have all semis. Maybe some star player will go down injured early and change the course of the match, or worse the refs or the bunker might rule a howler and ruin a good game.
So are the days and now nights of an NRL Grand Final.

thank you for that paragraph that can be summed up with, dunno.

On topic: Sharks, surely life isn't that cruel it'll deny them again, this time on their 50th... they gotta lose their v plates eventually..

 

[rockcod]

Part of me thinks the Storm is only just hanging on, but I also feel like their attack can click into gear any minute and blow a team off the park, if either team gets a couple of tries up it could be all over.

Sharks looked OK in their last game but cows were deplorable so not sure if they are in form or not.

Massive pressure on the Sharks so I'm going to go with a few errors and Gal hogging the ball at a couple of critical points trying to win it will be enough to see the Storm home.

Storm by 5

 

[Desert Qlder]

This is going to turn into a spiteful match. I can foresee tempers getting the better of certain players.

 

[Hutty1986]

Wonder how many times poor old senile Rabs will mention the meaningless storm GF appearances/"premierships" from 07/08/09? Ill say at least 4 times...before kick off
