2019 R24 Sat - Sea Eagles 6-36 Storm @ Lottoland

[Rhino_NQ]

That's a shithouse looking lineup for the storm

Because it's poopinhousein....amirite?

Storm by 16

 

[t-ba]

I still refuse to believe Manly is the real deal. A W here might get me believing.

Manly have been playing some good footy. They’ve already proven they can beat the storm, and they are getting the (deserved) raps for their form.

Could be a recipe for complacency. Tipping storm based on the revenge motivation factor, but wouldn’t surprise me to see it go the other way.

Btw. How are your edge forward injuries going? Is Thommo’s arm broken? Big loss if so.

Ugh. That sucks. Between him and sironen your edges have been a real strength this year. Hopefully it’s four not 6 and he only misses three games.

It feels like we play the Purple Pricks every couple of weeks.

Not sure what real motivation there is for Melbourne to win this one, they play cowboys at home next week and will finish first.

It is just not necessary for them to get in a dog fight and risk injuries.

Manly quite comfortably with way less feeling in the game than expected.

I get what you’re saying but I think Storm will get dragged into a dog fight and rightfully so.

As for risking injuries, I’m old school in I believe if you go in to a game with the intention of just going through the motions (going in softer than you should) it’s a recipe for injuries.

I’d like to think both sides want to keep the momentum building. Should be a great game either way

 

[big hit!]

Nice work NRL with the scheduling.

Nothing in Melbourne or AFL this weekend apart from some old farts match on Friday night. Given the AFL releases its season schedule before the NRL, you'd think someone at Moore Park would've had a look their fixture and noticed a free weekend for exposure.

This is a chance to get us into finals mentality. A dogfight with the Eagles might do us some good tbh

Would you believe the reason we didn't get scheduled this year is because of the AAMI being booked for the f**king AFLX legends game?

Apisai Koroisau back to Penrith at seasons end...go Manly!

 

[Someguy]

The ever unreliable mole has Cam Smith in doubt for this match. 40-0 all over again?

was this booked since the AFL fixture came out? what a f**king joke!

NRL could still have scheduled Melbourne at Swan St tonight. It's a free hit! absolutely no AFL distraction this evening.

I like how channel 9 basically gave up on this rivalry. They are to busy trying to revive rivalries from 30-40 years ago.

Has Des acquired a brain injury, or has he just been on the cans nonstop since Wednesday?

Des has always been a bit weird.

I think he has just reached that age where people stop giving a f**k about pretending to be normal.

Yeah he's an odd cat. But there's Des weird, and then there's giving an interview that sounds like Ian Chappell in a K hole

 

[mave]

Whats normal anyway?

Des is crazy.....crazy good.
