2016 GF | PREMIERS - Sharks 14-12 Storm @ ANZ

[Tipster]

Haven't read this thread so not sure if it's been mentioned but I don't buy the whole "Melbourne have the big game players".
It's perhaps true that Cooper and Cam are more well poised and clinical in guiding the team in those crucial moments of the match in comparison to their opposites, but it's not as if Gallen, Maloney or Ennis haven't played in big games before.


I bloody hope that Sydney crowd roars for Cronulla. I'll be doing the same here in NZ as if it's my own team in the GF. Good luck, Sharkies. Cannot wait!

There is a difference between having big game players and having big game players that generally deliver when it matters. Cronk and Smith fit that bill more than any of the Sharks players

Ladbrokes have offered $2.50 for a storm win.
I find that extremely strange considering they are $1.80 almost everywhere else.

Wow so $100 on Sharks at $2 (sportsbet) and $100 on Storm at $2.50 means you can't lose. Unless it's a draw at 80

If Fifita wasn't a footballer he'd be in jail.

Go the Storm.

Can this have it's own discussion thread? Get some insight going into the game.

Go the Storm.

Cool story..You could probably apply that theory to heaps of current and past players.

Sydney were a bit player in a much bigger story in the AFL GF. Hopefully Melbourne can be the same.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Up the Cronulla Sharks!!!

Dunno if Cameron can talk his way outta this one

 

[OzDragon]

Sharks are gifted with attacking footy but can be prone to some really dumb plays/errors.

Hopefully it doesn't bite them but I can't see them beating the cheating scum if it comes down to the line.

 

[StormHi]

Love me some Matty Elliot. Glad he is enjoying life and putting his football brain to good use.

 

[slamminsam246]

Anyone know the name of an open pub close to the stadium?

 

[Spade]

Jordon McLean for the Clive Churchill.

storm to win again

What's the weather like in Sydney?

Hope its dry. This would be epically boring in the wet.

 

[POPEYE]

Matty should've gone directly from his first coaching experiment into what he's doing now, think of all the aggravation that could have been missed . . . still, a good luck story RL desperately needs

 

[TheFrog]

What's the weather like in Sydney?

Fine, very warm. Calm now but winds may pick up later.

Under 20's likely to play in around 30 degrees C.

Thanks mate.

Good to see!

 

[T-Boon]

He gives good analysis.
Whilst it is pretty dry stuff for all but the keenest League fans there needs to be more of this kind of stuff on rugby league TV.
