Anyone got any good shows or movies to recommend on Nexflix & Amazon Prime to watch next Sunday night.


India v Pakistan in the women's world cup cricket has got my vote so far...

Incidentally the men are playing tonight in the Asia cup Final

Yeah i think most of Sydney will be cheering for Purple this week.

Nelson isn't playing either so its one less grub the Storm have in there side compared to Brisbane.

Lets compare some of the key match ups for likeability

Paps v Walsh - Paps hands down

Munster v Mam - Didn't think Cam Munster would ever be a more likeable player in any matchup but up against Ezra its really not a debate.

Hughes or Reynolds - On par with each other.

Grant or Hunt - Grant is becoming a milker & Hunt is a choker. I couldn't really care for either.

Stefano or Haas - Haas is a one club warrior while Stefano has jumped on the storm bandwagon. - I think Haas wins this one.

Loriero v Carrigan - Both play for Queensland while Carrigan is a better player both have a bit of grubbiness in them. Hard to split

Bellamy v Madge - Madge won NSW an Origin series in one go while Bellamy is 0/4 and brought every shit/dirty tactic in the game with the wrestling garbage. - Madge for me.

Storm Fans v Broncos Fans - I don't know enough Storm fans to really care despite there continual success and Salary Cap cheating.

While Brisbane are the Manchester United of the NRL - Arrogant, fair weathered, Queenslanders who deserve nothing but more torture and hardship.

All up Walsh, Mam & Broncos fans along with an embarrassing 19 year premiership drought for a rich club there size is enough i think for most to go for the Melbourne Storm.

Another GF loss for Broncos and the demons & heartbreak for those poor pricks grow even more.

Can't forgive Storm after 09, I'll always go for the other team. I live in Brisbane, all I know is heartache whether it's Parra or the Blues up here, I'll jump on the Bronco wagon reluctantly and either join the crowd in beating the Storm or if the y lose, I don't really care either.

Couldn't care less, can't bring myself to cheer for either.

Will probably binge watch some sci-fi series somewhere that I've missed.

The Walsh hype might work in Melbourne's favour. Remember they did the same in 2012 for Barba, Dogs were outplayed by Smith, Cronk and Slater. I feel as though Grant will outsmart them. He wasnt playing the last time they faced each other.

Melbourne had nothing to play for in that game while Brisbane had a top 4 spot on the line.

Grant Atkins blew 32 penalties in that game and ironically will now get the GF because Klein blew 23 on Friday Night.

Going off yesterday Atkins won't blow 32 penalties/6 agains in a GF he was obviously told after the critisicm of Klein on Friday to stay out of it and don't over officiate otherwise it will become a farce and that will suit the Storm with less ruck infringements.

90% of the time you can tell who will win the grand final a week out. A good give away is see how they celebrate the prelim

The Storm were a lot more laid back after the win (other than Stefano lol)

Their spine celebrated like it was a normal club game, to me means they know job is not done

Ponys celebrated like it was a GF win and carried on exactly like that. They have over achieved.

Add in the disappointment and hunger from last year, plus a good two days extra rest. Id be surprised Storm dont win by 20+

I’m favouring the Storm because of their big match experience, but I’ve been very impressed with the Broncos two big come from behind wins in the finals.

I’m looking forward to it. Should be a good game.

Canberra where basicaly robbed against Brisbane and I reckon about 10 50/50 calls went there way. All the bounces of balls went there way yesterday also. Quite a bit of luck in both their comebacks.
Storm by 30

Canberra weren't robbed imo. They stopped playing football and it cost them.

Broncos beat your team which is no mean feat.

I think the Storm will win, but no chance that it will be close to a 30 point margin.
