Nup...just can't tip Manly.:lol:

 

[clipser]

Not sure about this one... at least not until i see how the storm go tonight without inglis!

 

[eagles4eva]

lets hope Snakes back

 

[cupid]

The Storm team are looking weak in their forward pack with Lima out and their backs with Inglis, also Manly have the longer turn around.

Lima is playing tonight so unless he gets re-injured he'll be playing next week.

Just found out, thought he would be out for a while with a fractured eye socket, though I forgot to mention Sika Manu out.

Clutching at straws...

Manu is playing as well with the plaster on...;-)

 

[ME SO HORNBY!]

Manly just dont impress me. Storm to grind out a win. But i may change my mind if Melbourne play badly tonight.

 

[kia ora storm]

What everyone is forgetting is that is being played at Olympic Park...makes a big difference.

I realise that, but Olympic Park just doesn't seem to pose the same threat it use to.

 

[Covellius Maximus]

I realise that, but Olympic Park just doesn't seem to pose the same threat it use to.

8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss from 10 games at home this year for the Storm. Still a pretty big threat to be honest.

 

[MSIH]

Yep and we're yet to win there. Very daunting place to play.

 

[Carnifex]

This will be a cracker....storm by 10 in a close game.

 

[cupid]

another reason I believe Melbourne will struggle is the exact reason Manly struggled at the start of the season after the Bret Stewart incident, many of the players came out and said the way Stewart was critized by the media hurt their performances on field, though we will see after tonight how the Storm deal with it.
