Melbourne put 50 on either of these teams on form displayed tonight.

More importantly, it will take sustained pressure with good game management and good finishes to sets (that is, clever and disciplined football) to actually score against Melbourne. I can't see where that is coming from at the moment.

A storm v roosters grand final now most likely, like a tree falling in a forest, if no ones there to hear it does it make a sound?

Roosters no ruthlessness.
Broncos plucky but derp.
Melbourne turdburgers measuring space out in the trophy cabinet as we speak.

It almost certainly means a Sydney team in the grand final.

Probably lucky considering how f**ked crowds are.

Yep, unless Melbourne lose tomorrow or Cowboys win 3 in a row.

I guess the NRL will be happy.

And that team will probably get good support, if they vs Melbourne (or maybe Broncos, though not on today's showing- Manly or Penrith hardly out of it vs Broncos)

Roosters will firm into 2nd favourites now as they are only 1 win from the GF.

But they are hardly looking scary. They'll go into the GF qualifier with no real dominant game in weeks of football. Their last good game was actually a loss, against the Storm, where they were winning until the last few plays. So they can play well and beat Melbourne, they just have to improve a lot on recent efforts.

They actually defended pretty well and completed pretty well tonight, they just pull out spectacular fails from nowhere in plays multiple times per game. They also have poor 5th tackle options when Keary isn't threatening the line out wide.

Broncos forwards are getting so easily dominated their defense is looking as poor as any team this season. I don't know why it is happening so much lately, they defended well and held their own in the middle at the start of the year. Their 5th tackle plays have always been poor, but Milford can create something from nothing and they can score even without sustained pressure, as shown tonight.

But they definitely need to get better in the middle of the park or they won't get to Melbourne, and if bhy some chance they do, they will be murdered down South.
