'12 | R21 | Fri | Dragons 26-18 Storm | WIN

[thommo4pm]

No hope in hell we'll start as favourites, nor should we.

 

[Pugzley]

Storm by 12 or more.

Dragons player to be injured via wrestling tackle and Dragons fans in hysteria to outlaw it.

You heard it here first.

 

[Jason Maher]

The wrestling bullshit should have been outlawed 5 years ago.

Storm by 40.

 

[Pugzley]

But how are you going to stop the offload?

 

[Jason Maher]

Really... you can't think of any way to stop an offload other than grappling someone or trying to rip their shoulder out of its socket?

By the way, the rules of the game actually say that the defenders must release the tackled player immediately when the tackle is completed. The wrestling shit comes from the refs not enforcing the rules.

 

[thommo4pm]

Young likely to be ruled out, with DeBellin starting.

Scott is going back into the backrow, with Prior to the bench from what I understand.

Nathan Green is going to be playing in the centres.

Good news. We'll probably still get annihilated though

If all this is true, I give us a slim chance with those Storm players out and Slater being a little rusty. Good to see Pricey wake up and put Green in.

Would still like to be put out of my misery though :lol:

Oh yeah right oh. The old 'talking your own hopes down, so when they win i'll feel really good about it' trick.

So fake you can see the strings.

Dragons are raging hot favourites tonight.

Dragons are raging hot favourites tonight.

I guess that's why the bookies are paying $1.50 for a storm win. Not sure how the Dragons are favourites tonight...

I think it'll be a close game, last week was disappointing, but the Storm aren't traveling well at the moment, hopefully Slater doesn't have a big impact or it could be a long night for us.

Storm by 6.

Thanks

GO

I saw Storm play Dragons last year at AAMI and it was one of the best games i've seen live. (8-6 to Melbourne) Great arm wrestle and watching The Dragons backline moves were a thing of beauty. But sadly, two totally different teams this year.

I think Melbourne will win by 10.

 

[BunniesMan]

I already said it, I just couldn't fathom a world where the Storm have lost 5 in a row. Cannot happen. Will not happen. Melbourne by 18.

And Saints were badly out of form at that point. Backline movements were solid up until the passes going over the sideline.

 

[the dude]

Both teams are certainly desperate in some way. Storm will be struggling to hold their position in the 4 if they lose, not to mention losing 5 in a row, and Dragons need this to keep their season alive.

Dragons by 4.

:lol: Very true. We were pretty high up in the stands watching, so we got to see that left side attack. It really was great to watch - They did it with ease, but just couldn't finish.

 

[Pigskin]

Is Slater definitely going to play ? ... I'm not convinced

I can't believe I have tipped that rabble the Dragons

Oink !

 

[Anon]

Soward out appearently.

 

[Hutty1986]

we are gone
