The Storm juggernaut to roll over another team on the way to premiership number 3.

Storm by 36.

 

[hitman82]

Warriors by 8. Witt to score a double for the Vulcans.

 

[God-King Dean]

Storm by 16.

 

[African Monkey]

I sense an upset here. Warriors by 13.

 

[wittyfan]

Who'll kick the field goal?

 

[God-King Dean]

Michael Luck. I think it's fair to say the best looking in the team should kick it.

 

[African Monkey]

Fien will.

 

[ozbash]

I think it's fair to say the best looking in the team should kick it.

would have to be slammin sammy rapira then. he's purty.

i remember it was around this time last year the storm juggernaut came to a screaming halt v the mighty warriors.

Storm should.
We might..

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Screaming halt ? Didn't they win a sh*t match 4-2 ?

Want the Warriors to win, and these are normally top matches, but i sense a flogging in this one for them

 

[African Monkey]

Screaming halt ? Didn't they win a sh*t match 4-2 ?

Yes with all their first choice players out with origin duties as well.

 

[wittyfan]

Depressing game that was.

 

[Fast Eddie]

I think Ozbash meant the game in 06.

I think Ozbash meant the game in 06.

thanks FEddie

i think history may repeat...

 

[African Monkey]

It'll be good if it does.

 

[Rovelli]

If we lift and the Storm don't quite bring their A game, then we can definitely win.

If the Storm come with their A game, well no qualms then.

 

[wittyfan]

Storm's B game will still be more than sufficient.

 

[hitman82]

Obviously you would be supporting the team in purple.

 

[shiznit]

i reckon the Warriors are a big shot here... definately have the forward pack to match the storm. just need the little men to stand up..

would be worth putting some money on the warriors this week... this game is reminding me alot of the game last year VS the Sea Eagles. a genuine title contender comes to town to take on a rapidly improving but untested warriors side.

im gonna say Warriors by 10...

ive got Moffo like ability with picking winners so no doubt the purple poofs will pump em hard...

 

[Digeze]

Melbourne have got their swagger on now.
