oh wow, a premier league game that isn't in the wilds of south auckland. i might be tempted to get along to it.

 

[Rovelli]

The Storm would love to get some momentum heading into the finals and seal 4th position; we will be looking to farewell Stacey for the last time. If Melbourne are fair dinkum, you'd expect them to win, even though sentimentally people will want us to.

No Vatuvei, Ropati, Mannering, Price are big losses.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Who is going to stop Inglis in that warriors defensive line? This could get very ugly very quickly unless the forwards dominate.

 

[MsStorm]

Storm by 4.

Come on guys, we want a home final.

 

[pantherz9103]

Storm should be right to win this, looking at that Warriors lineup. Warriors are Storm's bogey side so the margin might not be too big, but Storm should get away with it simply because Warriors are down too many troops to spring the upset. Storm by 10

Storm by 30.

Our team don't look great. Manu's finished for 2009, and I reckon that also includes the Tri Nations. Manu has owned the Storm of late, and Steve Turner can go to bed without having a nightmare. OTOH, we have Hohaia and Ah Van in the centres, and with Inglis in the lineup, this could get messy.

Warriors to win with flourish.

Is Flourish a new signing ??...is he French ??.

Hohaia defends Inglis as well as anyone Ive seen.

Yep...with a palm print in his cheek.

Storm are down on troops as well, without Quinn, Proctor, big Manu, Cross, Lima, Tomane? Anderson

dont forget "you hold him, I'll hit him" White. I'd give him 3 minutes, max, before he is introduced to the stretcher...

Won't happen...Whitey is playing well at present.

 

[Jason Maher]

Oh bloody hell! Next time I'll read the team lists before voting.

 

[Noa]

Looks like Jesse may make his debut today as he hasnt been named in the u-20 team.
