[moffla]

32-12

Will be a tight first half but we will run away with it

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Depends on our attitude toward a dead rubber. If we throw caution to the wind it could get interesting

 

[Das Gupta]

Storm.

 

[The_Shield]

Hopefully the Raiders turn up for this. Another 60 point win, while it'll be great to watch, won't help us heading into the finals. Also hope the Raiders play fair and don't try an illegally take out our best players again

 

[Malabar Eel]

Sticky to unveil the overhead projector pre-game, thus providing the raiders motivation for a 13+ victory here.

 

[Hawkins]

meh

 

[JamesRustle]

Soliola to put a huge dent in Storm's finals chance... he will decommission Slater and 1-2 other spine players before the refs decide to send him.

 

[GongPanther]

Caberra by 2.

 

[ed-grimley]

The Storm are the best team in the universe - they absolutely can't lose.

 

[The_Shield]

The Storm are the best team in the universe - they absolutely can't lose.

Damn it, now why'd you have to go and do that?

 

[Rhino_NQ]

anyone scored 5 in storm colours yet?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

We will play like shit because Ricky will be sooking that the gods/refs/nrl/anyone except him were responsible for Canberra not making the finals.

 

[STORM.99/07]

STORM.

 

[matrightyeh]

storm to win again easy

 

[moffla]

anyone scored 5 in storm colours yet?

Nope. Plenty of fours though

Suli scored four in the first half last year vs Manly. Somehow didn't add to it

[AlwaysGreen]

How the f**k is Soliola back in at lock over Tapine?

Starting Tapine on the edge has been the one decent move Stuart has made all year.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Storm

 

[Barkley]

I've got the Raiders in an upset. Raiders fans to have broken hearts over what could have been.
