Penrith's easy draw strikes again

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Pretty much this

Can't see any team matching it with Melbourne in the finals so any team that plays them will be cannon fodder

This year it's just who will lose to Melbourne in the GF. They're unstoppable

Any team can be beaten on the day. I hope they don't add any premierships as long as their roster is tainted

Normally I'd agree but not with this team

You'd have to be beyond perfect to put Melbourne off their game in the finals.

6 qld players with a few internationals added into the mix, well drilled team not to mention their form this year. They've blown teams off the park that we thought could match them

I rate Roosters 13' squad as probably the best of the last 10 years but I reckon Storm 17' tops it, provided they do win the big one

Need a hug??

Lol the irony. A thread started by a Saints fan moaning about another team supposed soft draw yet his side couldn't even beat Newcastle.

I can feel the panic already from Dragons fan. It will be all over soon.

Not just Newcastle. Also the Dogs, Gold Coast and the Bunnies, thank you very much!

I agree with this and would just add that not only do they have a great 1 - 17 but the depth in the club is amazing as well.

Even if someone as instrumental as a Cam Smith or Cooper Cronk goes down with injury, they've shown that the likes of Brody Croft can come in and do just as good a job. Nate Myles is sitting in the background and will be a pretty handy back up if needed in the forwards and the depth they have in the backs is ridiculous.

It really is the Storms competition to lose this year.

It'd be a travesty if the Storm didn't win it all this year. Up there with the year the Eels lost in the GF to Newcastle after having a historically great year about 15 years ago.

The standard this year truly is poor, what's happened to the NRL? The fact the Raiders can't compete in a historically bad year is even more embarrassing.

The officiating has had a hell of a lot to do with the standard of play imo

 

[Card Shark]

This years fairytale team is Parramatta

Everyone wants to see us win it

I grew up on a river so I turned out to be a fisherman, hence I'll take the bait & respond.

Very few would want to see the Eels win, predominantly brought on by you.

 

[POPEYE]

Yeah from someone like her

I'm going to work on the right side next
