It will be a fairytale if the Sharks win their 1st premiership in their 50th season, but this Storm team is one of the best teams in defense that I have ever seen. I think Storm will win it unfortunately, but you never know!

I think that Gallen is so sick of seeing Cam Smith raise trophies while he watches on, that when the Storm win (comfortably) he may run onto the stage and try to steal it, Shooter McGavin style...

If the NRL loves their narratives so much then surely the Sharks should get the leg up.

And I wouldn't even be mad. Storm haven't finished their sentence for being awful shits yet and they're hardly going to get a reduction for good behaviour.

With a Gallen vs smith match up you'd have to give the edge to smith. He knows how to niggle in the ruck and get away with it but Gallen has never really mastered it.

I'm intrigued.
I totally understand the Gal, Ennis, A-Fi hate, but Feki??
The lad is quiet as a mouse.
Never heard of anyone having a problem with him.
Did he clap the wrong way as well?
