[The Vaulting Violinist]

Eels by 4 toongabbie bong heads

 

[Valheru]

Interesting game.

Bellamy has put a rocket up the storm but I rate Parra.

Parra in a tight one

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

The purple scum will bounce back sadly. They don't stay down for long.

 

[Grail]

Storm to make a statement, Eels to wilt under pressure.
42 - 4

 

[Lemon Squash]

Eels by 4 toongabbie bong heads

@Haynetrain this guy talking shit about Grant and his mates

 

[This Year?]

For the good of the game please win this Parra. It would be magnificent if they did. Seeing Munster, Smith, Chambers, Croft and Bellamy with frowny faces would make my day!

 

[Eelectrica]

Both teams going W-L lately unfortunately for parra we're on the L side of that and the Storm are on the W side of the combo. Can we play combo breaker? Hope so.
Parra by a the number of votes in a Billy Slater MOTM award.

 

[GongPanther]

Parra if they throw the ball around like they've been doing lately. The Storm to test their attack down Sivo's side.

A point in it either way in another highly entertaining game.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Storm to do it for their recently deceased sponsors and win by 12

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

WE, (Parra) have no chance with Perineum (he's somewhere between an arsehole and a merkin) as ref.
Scum 28- Parra 8

 

[greenBV4]

Some Storm players will literally be playing to keep their spot in the team, we'll return to form and win convincingly

 

[Rhyno]

Eels by 6

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Is this the Todd lowrie cup?

 

[Bazal]

Is this the Todd lowrie cup?

The Willie Leyshon Cup, surely.

 

[Grail]

Alex Chan cup

 

[hineyrulz]

Perenara to beat the Eels 13 penalties to 2.

 

[footy75]

Storm will bounce back and play a lot better but if Parra win this they are the real deal this year.

 

[Tommy Smith]

It might actually be up to the Eels to bring some actual magic to Magic Round because the footy so far has been polio.

I hope they fire and beat the cheating traah by 20.

That said, Storm by a soft penalty in front of the sticks with 2 min to go.

Meh, the Storm are like the Sharks. We normally struggle against them because they're just so good at slowing the game down to their speed. Any time Parramatta have been good since the 80s, it's been on the back of high energy, high intensity footy and the Storm make that very hard to play.

They've been poor this year IMO but they still win because they just muck the game up. They also get calls other sides don't because they're so good at controlling the tempo of the game.

Us, not so much unfortunately. I hope we can play the kind of game we want to play because if we do I think we'll win. But I can't back us in knowing exactly what Melbourne will be looking to do and knowing we struggle with that.
