2018 R9 Sun - Dragons 34-14 Storm @ Jubilee

[Silent Knight]

I hope we smash the merkins, but the script will be as follows:

Storm to have the run of possession and field position and will constantly get penalties until Saints tire out and leak points. Once the Storm are up by 20, the refs will start with square ups to not appear one sided.
Vunivalu and Addo-Carr to get 2 tries each and Slater to get his token try to seal the game. MOM: Smith, Slater or Munster. Saints will have their premiership credentials questioned by all and sundry and the favourites tag that was instilled by the betting agencies will be put to bed.

I will be absolutely shocked if anything not above happens.

You guys are the real deal, f**k the haters. This will be match of the round and you will win by 4.

I just hope Cecchin isn't the ref because the douche comes in with a preconceived idea of who should win and you guys don't deserve that sh*t.

well said mate

24 and 1 would be a feat heading into the finals.

Especially since we only play 24 games in the season.

Irrelevant.

 

[This Year?]

Got my tickets today and not many left in gold or silver. I'm so excited!

 

[Maroon4life]

Storm, good form lately.

Should be a good battle though.

 

[LatK7]

Saints, but only because it's Kogarah.

 

[_Johnsy]

Our right edge will cop a battering. Storm by 4

 

[Smack]

I'm just hoping for a game that isn't decided by the refs and a 20+ penatly count

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Saints by 2.

 

[SBD82]

Head says Storm convincingly, heart obviously Saints.
Going to be a cracker, hope we bring aggression and defensive smarts for the full 81 as that's the only way to stay in it.

This post hasn't got the respect that it deserves.

Well played sir.

 

[Rhyno]

Storm by 8

Damn this is a coin toss job. I’ll go storm by 2 with everyone complaining about storm being the bench mark again

Didn’t Melbourne spank saints in a similar game last year?

Yep, down at Wollongong. They got out to a 34-4 lead before a late little rally by us.
It was the beginning of the end for us.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Over 2.5 penalty goals

 

[TheFrog]

Too hard to pick. Favour the Storm, but could easily be wrong. If Merge can get over the Storm here, they are well on the way to expurgating the demons of 2017.

Pretty sure the referees last name is Smith...
