Wow Eels paying $4.75

Talk about easy money

The weight of money from Parra fans for that price has created a false impression.

It really should be around the $6.50 mark. Sigh...that 22-6 win in Melbourne without their stars during the SOO will encourage the Storm to lay the hurt on.

I reckon the storm go after Moses and Jennings. Constant sweep plays and try to catch them out, also a various different kick types for vuni to catch on the other side.

For parra to win I would say take leaf out of roosters book and play with parallel markers, storm get lots of momentum from dummy half runs and do everything possible to get radradra involved surely he will beat vuni a few times

This we need to use Semi and Auvaa well. Storm don't like big backs that can help out the forwards well. Hopefully our pack has a blinder.

Parra can catch Storm on the edges and vice versa. Auva'a is a liability and so is Vunivalu.
Tbh Addo-Carr hasn't been tested enough and Jennings could give young Scott some trouble too.
Should be a good game and hopefully the Storm get up cause it's not a certainty as most are saying.

Storm. They usually don't falter on player milestone games. Plus i reckon they are pissed on Arthurs comments. First 20 minutes should be brutal.

Honestly don't know what Arthur was thinking. He's entitled to say what he wants obviously but why would he fire up our players going into Smith's record breaking game? Nearly suicide

What's the press been talking about all week?

Parra? Or BA vs Bellamy?

Storm are the most consistent and professional team in the comp. they are playing a home final, the thought that media comments will make them better is laughable.

Most of the commentators believe what he said was bullshit.

Umm, Bellamy is the most vindictive coach in the game.

They are going to choke hold every f**king tackle, and get away with it.

BA knows exactly what he's up against. It's where he learned his trade!
You think Jennings off a shortball was new! No!
That was Cronk to Chambers with Proctor long ball, Slater out the back option play. Difference is BA isn't there yet with his roster.
