Have you ever known Easts supporters to travel?

 

[Tommy Smith]

If the Roosters can scrub up like they did in the last game they are in business this year. Suspect they won't have things go their way quite as much this time, though.

Well for one we're facing a better team...

We won't be flogging the Storm 32-6 that's for sure.

So already the challenge is greater before stepping on the field.

The last time an Easts supporter went to Penrith,he ended up having a latte' colonoscopy.

I was there last year and the crowd was pretty evenly split.

I do think Saturday is a better day for this game though.

Jared Warea-Hargreaves not playing due to the Denver Test.

Not confident here.
Forward pack looks very light with a couple out, our depth here is pretty easily stretched
Aubusson in the centres for Manu, JWH out.

Melbourne look close to full strength, we'll have a tough time of it.

Time to stand up Napa.

Storm not quite full strength, Bromwich and kafusi out, slater and Munster in doubt. NAS might be out given late arrival from Denver and kasiano out leaves them thin on bench forwards.

As a storm fan I am worried about latrel running all over chambers again

 

[adamkungl]

Kaufusi out evens things up a bit

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Heard there was a big contingent of Snowtown residents coming down for the game.

Apparently looking for barrel girls.....

 

[krappo]

Storm 10 :}

 

[OzDragon]

f**k em both. Hope neither win.

 

[Saxon]

I was there last year and the crowd was pretty evenly split.

Yep. 50% Storm fans, 50% Adelaide locals.

 

[King hit]

Hope the game and crowd is as good as last year. The Adelaide game last year was a cracker.
