Might be something to do with the "Eagle" part of his name ;-)

The bettig has gone crazy on this game. All the money for the doggies. That suggests the Storm will have some players out. Maybe they will rest their origin players as has been speculated.

I'm not sure where you bet but it doesn't look like all the money is for the Dogs judging by these betting agencies. The Storms price is on top of the Dogs in each one.

Centrebet have received a lot of money for the 'Dogs clearly... we were out at $2.50 or so earlier in the week - 0.50 is a reasonable jump in the odds. We won't start favourites by any means but we're much shorter than we should be.

If Inglis is out I think we're a chance but even then it's a long shot.

 

[Noa]

Inglis - out
Brett White - out
Billy Slater - highly unlikely

Really looking forward to Gareth Widdop @ fullback, a peak into 2011 maybe ? Chase Stanley and Jesse Bromwich to come into the side.

This will be good as it will potentially represent some of the changes to the line up for next year.

Chase Stanley will be good to watch...has a lot of pace but can be defensively weak.

John Kite must be close to a start as well ??..

 

[Noa]

Bromwich played NSW Cup today, Aiden Tolman will be playing. Making a charge for origin ?

 

[Butters]

Melbourne by a million

 

[kia ora storm]

If Tolman plays then Melbourne will dominate the ruck IMO and should win this game.

 

[spartan]

tolman joins the dogs next season,why on earth would he bust a gut in a meaningless game against his new teammates

 

[Noa]

Soo

Yep that's right...:roll:.

Forget about SOO, personal form, playing for his team mates...obviously.

 

[abpanther]

So any confirmation about who is out for the Storm?

 

[Timmah]

Inglis and White definitely out... we'll find out in about 50 minutes if Slater is cleared.

 

[harry]

The Bulldogs are slight favourites now with all bookmakers. TAB has doggies 1.80 Storm 2.00.

 

[cupid]

Stupid Storm, about to stuff up my perfect tipping round, hope Slater atleast plays.

 

[Timmah]

Big changes both sides.

Bulldogs
Jake Foster, Ben Barba OUT
Ben Hannant, Joel Romelo IN

Storm
Inglis, Slater, White OUT
Widdup, Stanley, Tolman IN

 

[innsaneink]

Slater out too

 

[abpanther]

I'm changing my tip to the DOgs, Hannant is a huge boost for them IMO

 

[Timmah]

Melbourne Storm lineup
Widdup Duffie Nielsen Stanley MacDougall Finch Cronk Norrie Hinchcliffe Manu Blair Hoffman Lowrie
Bench: Kostjasyn Proctor Tandy Tolman

Canterbury-Bankstown lineup
Patten Turner Morris Idris Goodwin Green Noddy Hannant Ennis Hodgson Warburton Ryan Stagg

[abpanther]

What's wrong with Barba, injured?
