Going off nothing but current form, Brissy have it in the bag. However recent history tells us finals between these two sides are usually very close.

Unless Hunt completely implodes under the pressure, this one will be no different. Broncos by 6.

 

[OzDragon]

Time to take out the trash

 

[jargan83]

What the bet Suncorp Sutton gets the Referee’s gig?

 

[This Year?]

Ben Hunt, you know what do...

 

[Rabbits20]

Broncos shall win I hate to say it.

Broncos by 30.

 

[Hutty1986]

Saints to do a johnny cash to their downtrodden fans

 

[JamesRustle]

Dragons to win. I feel it in me waters.

St George showed some good signs in the 2nd half yesterday and they’ll need to improve a fair bit more to be a shot here.

If Widdop is back he’ll make a big difference. Brisbane should be too good though and even if they’re not the Referees will get them over the line.

 

[Frank_Grimes]

Plenty of pre-whinging in here already. Should be a good game regardless of the outcome.

There is a week of it to go yet lol. Apologies in advance and enjoy the build up and the inevitable win. At least try to act surprised when it happens.

 

[Hutty1986]

Going to be yet another devastating loss to end a season that started with so, so much promise for saints. Our defence isn't strong enough to limit such a dangerous attacking side, and our attack has just disappeared.

Dragons to win. I feel it in me waters.

I love the optimism. It would be a wet dream come true if it happened.

Don't be so hard on yourselves.

 

[roboshark]

Sutton to get them home

 

[thorson1987]

Ben Hunt, you know what do...

Kick the game winning field goal right as the siren goes?

How f**king glorious would that be.

Highly unlikely though.

 

[JamesRustle]

I love the optimism. It would be a wet dream come true if it happened.

My wet dreams are much different to yours obviously.

Let's hope we have the same interpretation of "come on Dragons".

 

[Tommy Smith]

Irrelevant game as the lesser of these two scrubs will get violated by the loser of Storm-Souffs in wk 2.

That being said, let's hope Ben Hunt kicks the winning field goal to maximise the lols.

 

[Rabbits20]

I’d expect Klein to ref this one.

 

[Vic Mackey]

The finals is totally different but I can't see Saints getting near Brisbane with both teams respective form. Widdop back will obviously help sadly I doubt it's enough. Broncos by 14.
