Rd1: GAME DAY THREAD 8pm Parra v Storm in Melbourne - 5/3/26

[TheParraboy]

I think the ref will bend us over tonight and we'll cop it without the lube.
The NRL do not want their precious Storm's first round streak to be broken and we'll cop some payback for the Lomax stuff.

If there is blatant favouritism it will not only cause an uproar but will alienate and lose fans from the game.

And also , by this Lomax sage, NRL now know we are not to be bullied, we are not afraid to go to court....

Don't think NRL are that stupid to (on the quiet) tell refs to screw us

We play well and look after our own backyard things will be fine

Your going to get shit calls in a lot of games, all season long

I expect us to get the calls actually today , I think a lot of parties will be now looking if Melbourne get favouritism calls , abit like the roosters if you notice after that incident with brown injuring Hutchinson that game just before half time , they don’t get the calls they used too

Will depend on who scores more points

Thanks Laurie.

The Eels need to get the approval of congress before we do what we are about to do to the Storm.

Lomax and Matto watching together at the Royal Oak. Good times.

Given what went down this week with the almost deal, I reckon they'll be watching separately - if at all.

I’ve heard a very faint whisper that Munster is dealing with family issues and may not b playing?

If that’s the case I tip Melbourne by plenty.

I know I’m scarred but can’t see a world where Melbourne don’t just win, but teach us a f**king tough lesson tonight.

I honestly don’t know, personally I think he will play, we’ll see soon enough, I agree weve been absolutely scarred by this mob in so many ways over many years, that I don’t feel confident we are going to win, when we actually should be making a statement tonight

Up until this week, I thought we’d be the ones running out with a bit of extra fire but I feel as though the non-deal may have been a bit of a release valve for us, while perhaps also steeling the Scum. We need to stick with them in the first half and then limit Grant in the back end

We will find out in 30 minutes if Toelau plays NSW cup.

 

[senior]

I’m not confident at all, storms spine is still the best in the comp

We really need to win the forward battle or it will be a long day

Not bad !

 

[The Predictor]

I’m concerned that they are starting to believe the hype around them, believe in yourselves but don’t buy into the hype, I’m confident JR will keep them focused and grounded

Toelau playing NSW cup

 

[The Predictor]

Toelau playing NSW cup

That’s a shame

 

[Eelectrica]

Hope we score more points than they do. That would be a nice way to start the season.

limit Grant in the back end

I reckon we give him plenty in the back end.
