Manly by 16 although it'll be tight for most of the game.

The Storm may as well begin to pray for mercy right now

Yep...will do. A tight game that Manly wins by 16...:roll:

 

[MSIH]

He said tight for most of the game. Idiot.

 

[kia ora storm]

He said tight for most of the game. Idiot.

For most of the game and they win by 16...FFS...Storm would have to totally fall apart for that to happen.

Get realistic...

Melbourne's Adam Blair found not guilty of grapple tackle; cleared to face Manly

Melbourne Storm's finals hopes have been boosted after prop Adam Blair was found not guilty of a grade one dangerous contact charge at the NRL judiciary.
The New Zealand Test star was in danger of missing Friday's finals clash with Manly after being hit with the charge on Monday.

The incident took place during the Storm's 30-0 victory over the Warriors on Saturday when Blair tackled Warriors skipper Micheal Luck.

However, Blair's barrister Geoff Bellew argued successfully that the incident was accidental.

The three man judiciary panel of Mark Coyne, Don McKinnon and Sean Garlick took just five minutes to deliver their verdict at the NRL's head office in Sydney.

The decision is a huge relief for Melbourne, who have already lost front-rowers Matt Cross and Sika Manu to injury.

“We are very pleased, but we were very confident coming into the hearing and received a fair hearing,'' said Storm's Football manager Frank Ponissi.

“Now we can put all of our attention to Friday's game against Manly.''

You've gotta laugh at the Manly scum. They keep bringing up 40-0 while conveniently forgetting how the Mexicans towelled them up a year before 34-8. A GF win is a GF win you f**king halfwits :lol:

 

[Garts]

Not a record GF win though ;-)

Anyway just a bit of friendly banter, no need to get your panties in a twist.

It was a record score for a Grand Final d!ckhead.

 

[Butters]

40-0>>>34-8

The first of those scores was against a side without their hooker, captain and best 2nd rower.

The second was against a full strength side that got dominated and has no excuses.

You tell yourself whatever you need to get by champ.

I wish Hoffman played. The only downer about 8 tries to nil day is that I didn't get to see him cry 2006 style again.
