[Hawkins]

Storm easily, sharks won't last long in the finals

 

[Pennies]

Storm will probably bounce back.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Storm 13-12

 

[ed-grimley]

Storm will lift after being severely embarrassed last week.

 

[Card Shark]

We will put them to the sword.

Brisbane has opened up some big cracks.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Cameron smith won't ref that bad again twice in a row, storm by 10.

 

[GongPanther]

Sharks by 8.

 

[TheFrog]

Brisbane has opened up some big cracks.

Most of them inside toilet cubicles.

Does anyone know if there's ever been a playoff for the minor premiership?

I know Melbourne had to beat Souths by 28 (iirc) in 2008 to snatch it from Manly but just between the two sides to win it I can't recall.

 

[Card Shark]

I'm sure it's happened before but who knows when.

Ask David Middleton

Roosters & Rabbits played Rd 26 2013 with the winner to get MP.

 

[Clifferd]

Hopefully a huge crowd in Melb

I'll go storm in a close one

 

[Rhino_NQ]

storm by 1

[Whino]

Storm.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

We exposed the foolproof way to beat Melbourne, so both they and Cronulla need to take lessons. Tough game to pick for mine but have to go Storm since they're at home in a minor premiership decider

 

[Card Shark]

Foolproof way...lol

Don't count your chickens, it wasn't the finals (& nor is this game).

You may well meet again down there in a couple of weeks & they'll towel you up.

Hell, they may even towel us up this week...but it's not the finals!

What drugs are you on? You beat Melbourne once and you automatically have a foolproof way to beat them.
