2006 Premiers who will win it?

broncos or storm?

i would have to say, brisbane in a close one..

 

[RABK]

Storm - simply brilliant.

They know how to beat the Broncos and really have the wood over them.

I won $500 on Inglis as first try scorer and $160 on Melbourne 13+ tonight. I'll be happy to back both again next week.

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

i think it should be a cracker,
main reason why i think brisbane will win it, is i think they will send webce out a winner..

 

[Missa]

tipping brissie but going for melb.....

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

The Storms biggest concern is that when they hold a narrow lead they become inhibited- ball movement is restricted and they rely heavily on dummy half running and a sound kicking game from both Cronk + Smith. Their approach becomes overly conservative; I was astounded that they had two shots at field goal and continually hoisted the bomb up on the last to little avail.

If Brisbane throw caution to the wind I foresee an upset.

I'd love to see Webcke go out a winner, but it's hard to go past the Storm.

 

[Raoul Duke]

Brisbane for sure. Webcke will make sure that the Melbourne team is well and truly buried.

 

[pantherz9103]

Despite the persistent ignorance on this board of those who don't rate Melbourne, as evidenced by the lopsided vote in Brisbane's favour, the Storm are the best team of 2006 and will be the premiers.

Heart says Storm but mind is thinking Broncos..................:-k ](*,) either way this will be a great G/F to watch! :thumn fingers crossed for the Storm! ;-)

 

[philstorm]

Webcke is going, but does anyone want to mention how the Storm might want to send Kidders and Hill off on a good note? :roll:

No offence to them, but Kidwell and Hill moving on to make a buck or two in the ESL/Souths is hardly as noteworthy as the retirement of one of the games greatest ever props.

Besides, I'm sure it'll rate some sort of mention in the grand final build up.

True, in comparison to Webcke in the overall scheme of things, it's nothing, but Hill and Kidders are two of our captains. I daresay the boys will be pumped to send them out on a high ...

 

[effnic]

What about Geyer will it be his last?

 

[Mr Saab]

Geyer has a 2 yr contract i think. Def not his last yr.
As for the GF, of course i think the Bronx will win, but i wont be overly dissapointed to lose the Storm and Craig Bellamy.

 

[Neatoboy]

Melbourne by 4

 

[JJ]

What about Geyer will it be his last?

he's a nice guy, but a liability... that side leaks and Lockyer will target it. Bellamy is brilliant, but how Webster is out for Geyer beyond comprehension

Brisbane off a bit of Lockyer brilliance very late... and Lockyer to win the Churchill medal

 

[imasharkie]

Two from two for me this weekend.

Happy to see the Doggies are out. Couldn't put up with a year of Timmah.

The best team on paper is gorne for another year. They call us the chokers. We have nothing on the Stain George team. A team chockful of superstars and the benchmark team according to their supporters.

I was a very happy and drunk man after the game last night.

GO THE BRONCOS

Send offs and milestone games don't count in a grandfinal IMO. Both teams are primed and at their best come the big one. They only really work in home and away games.

Broncos by 4 in what will be the greatest Grand Final match in years
