[Valheru]

Titans are at least having a crack now but Melbourne will be too professional and win by 16

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

The Scum by as many as they like. Even an all time great game from Fifita wouldn't really swing it.

 

[mozza91]

Titans to win 38-36

 

[JamesRustle]

Storm to stroll in 50 points and win by 40.

 

[GongPanther]

Tits by 2.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

Storm will be shitting themselves at the thought of playing against tanah boyd

 

[Someone2]

Storm by 30

 

[Apey]

Titans to win 38-36

[Artiste]

Well isn't this a riveting live game thread lol

I’ll spice things up…anyone here who would do this ref?

 

[moffla]

Anyone watching?

Reluctantly. I think we have only ever played one entertaining game on the Gold Coast! Usually such a dull affair

 

[Artiste]

Old Foz - good for him!

 

[Leber]
