I love watching Storm play at home. They really are a different beast. Storm by 14.

 

[perverse]

I think we're capable of the upset, and if we don't pull it off we'll at least make a real good show of it.

You nearly got them down there early in the year & I give the Knights a good chance in this 1.

There is no doubt the Storm are slipping overall but they are still capable of turning it on & flogging someone. Knights wanna hope that they aren't on song this week.

 

[matrightyeh]

storm will smash this lot imo

How come this game is at AAMI? Not a finals venue in week 2 according to NRL website.


The following home City venues may qualify to host a Final in Week 2:

New South Wales / ACT:
Sydney: Sydney Football Stadium, ANZ Stadium
Canberra: Canberra Stadium
Newcastle: Energy Australia Stadium

Queensland:
Brisbane: Suncorp Stadium
Gold Coast: Skilled Park
Townsville: Dairy Farmers Stadium

Victoria:
Melbourne: Etihad Stadium, MCG

New Zealand:
Auckland: Mt Smart Stadium

* A decision on which days both Finals will be played will be made following the completion of Week 1

Edit: This was the old list from early in the finals. The NRL have since changed it so all Melbourne finals are at AAMI park. Typical NRL changing the rules halfway through the game.

Halfway through the game?

Melbourne have hosted all finals at AAMI for three years now...

Ok, didnt know that. Well why advertise differently?

Work experience kid entering info?

They had Sharks AND Cowboys eliminated on the front page after the game on Saturday evening :lol:

Knights were impressive against the hapless Bulldogs, but I can't see the Storm going out in straight sets.

Storm by 10

 

[Jason Maher]

f**k the Storm.

Newcastle by 20. Please.

 

[Evenflow]

This will be closer than people think imo. Storm by 8.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if it's closer than 8. Will pick the Storm at home in a very tough game.

 

[grandorient]

Storm comfortably.

GO

 

[Rebel]

Whoever wins this I hope will win the comp. Would prefer the Knights but cant see the Storm losing this.

 

[Jason Maher]

Yeah, we need another f**king Storm Premiership like a hole in the head. Would rather the c**ks win and suffer through the reactions of bhP's many accounts.

 

[Ziggy the God]

The Knights have been on a roll, but I was there last year at AAMI in our semi, the Storm are too good at home.

Storm by 8.

Geez JM... so Sydney-centric! :lol:

You have a hatred for the salary cap it seems?

 

[Noname36]

Heart Knights, head Storm.

This.

I've pretty much conceeded that we're going to lose and I'm not too upset. The toughness we've shown makes me really happy, but I know we don't have the skill just yet to overcome the Storm. We're getting there, but just not this year.

What's funny is that if we had have hypothetically beaten Melbourne I would have given us a good chance to give it to the Roosters...which is a shame because I can't see us getting over Melbourne at all.
