Game of the Round imo:

This is going to be so close, depending on the performance of these two teams on ANZAC day i would have to tip the home side by 2

 

[GongPanther]

Dragons by 20. Too bad it's not on a Friday. But still,I might get to this game.

 

[Das Gupta]

Lets see what happens tomorrow.

I'd go but the game clashes with Warilla v Port.
I'm tipping St George because my next door neighbour says they'll win the GF.

I'm a Collies man. Great club.

Butchers here.

 

[Hutty1986]

Bomaderry Swamp Rats was the greatest club in RL history.

Might be a close one, but Storm to hang on to pole position for another week.

 

[thommo4pm]

Didn't see the Storm game tonight as I was coming home from our game against Easts.
This is going to be tough for us as we have quite a few injuries out of today.
Not sure if the Storm had any issues or not against the Warriors.

 

[The_Shield]

No Widdop for the Dragons. Kenny Bromwich back for the Storm and hopefully Tohu Harris as well. Storm could be full strength for the first time this year. Hard to see the Storm losing this

 

[This Year?]

No Widdop for the Dragons. Kenny Bromwich back for the Storm and hopefully Tohu Harris as well. Storm could be full strength for the first time this year. Hard to see the Storm losing this

This is what I was afraid of.

Oh well may as well write of season 2017 for the Saints cos we can't cover an injury like Widdop's.

We went completely into our shell after widdop went off in the ANZAC day game so I don't know where our points will come from.

 

[_Johnsy]

Melbourne 22-14

 

[Todd Hoffman]

No Widdop. No win. Storm to grind this one out.

 

[Nice Beaver]

Storm by 14+

We got 40 minutes of Dragons attack without Widdop yesterday. Against the best defence in the comp I can't see them putting many tries on.

 

[moffla]

Reckon we will win this with relative comfort. Will be a bit of an arm wrestle for 60odd minutes then we will put on a couple late.

16-6 storm

 

[Cogburn]

Storm by 20. Illawarra socks descend has begun.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

storm by 12

 

[Hutty1986]

Storm comfortably with our playmaker gone. Would have been an absolute belter otherwise.
And lol@Cogburn, his tears are always delightful.
