I suspect the membership cards will be mostly symbolic this year, given COVID distancing requirements it's likely the seating will be allocated on...
Not keen on the new Storm jersey either, too bland and boring for me. Seems like they are trying to make a clear break from the ISC styling but...
I like your optimism but I doubt Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth will ever build a dedicated 50k+ rectangular stadium for one big game every few...
I’ve watched Origin from the MCG top deck and a grand final from ANZ’s top deck and in both stadiums you are indeed miles from the action.
That will come a few weeks later when we host the preliminary final ;)
We might even finish as low as fifth. Some dark times ahead perhaps.
Counterpoint: I would like Melbourne to go back-to-back in 2021.
f**k covid. f**k these bloody unending lockdowns. Go the mighty Melbourne Storm!
I know it's been a while since the last Panthers premiership but let's remember that Melbourne haven't won since 2017 and even missed the grand...
95% chance C. Smith is already engraved, even if they lose I suspect he’ll get the consolation prize.
Storm only choke every second GF, the last one was 2018. This time we are due for a win, or at least a competitive performance.
Amy Shark not a bad choice as far as current Oz music goes. Better than picking a Channel 9 talent show contestant, or wheeling out some geriatric...
We are having a great (responsibly isolated) time!
There might not be a lot of love for the Storm outside of Victoria but tomorrow marks day 100 of lockdown here and this team has been a bright...
Two reasons I can think of: - Gives both Raiders and Souths a full week between semi and prelim - Neither team playing tomorrow night will have to...
More bureaucratic pettiness from the QLD government, any covid risk would surely be next to zero...
I think Penrith are in the box seat but Storm and Raiders have more big game experience which will count for plenty come GF day. Obviously hoping...
Well, minor premiers Melbourne lost a preliminary final to the seventh-placed Warriors in 2011 so a high bar has been set for "greatest choke".
Will depend on the WA border opening, they seem pretty happy keeping it shut, unless the NRL factors in a two week quarantine ahead of each game?
Barring any major injuries or suspensions, I agree, the winner of Storm v Roosters/Raiders will take the comp.
Separate names with a comma.
