2020 GF | PREMIERS - Storm 26-20 Panthers @ ANZ

[SBD82]

God himself wouln't have outrun Satts that day.

To be fair, he was only 7 at the time.

Big Brother Bernie look after Gerry again.

I thought Klein would get it, Sutton wasn't very good the other day.

 

[Captain Apollo]

You reckon a young Hodges could have outrun Satts?

Was I talking to you? No. Did I say he could? No. So WTH is the relevance of your question?

 

[The_Frog]

Naden named in the centres. Wonder who we'll target...

This is the trouble with making a shift like that in the middle of the finals. I'm expecting May to play centre although not convinced it is in the best interests of the team.

Yes Hodges was 2002. 03 still had Morley and Crocker

Woah. Sorry captain.

I’ve been known to shitstir, but I didn’t think I was that time.

 

[Greenfields]

[The_Frog]

Agreed. I imagine the GF will be similar too. Storm to blow them away early and then Penrith to jag a few consolation tries in the second half when the nerves settle and Melbourne start to cruise. Scoreline to look respectable in the end.

If the Panthers are blown away in the first half it will be the first time this year. The most points scored against us in the first half this year is 16, by the Dragons in round 2. We were 12 and ended up winning.

This Panthers side reminds me of the 2001 Eels for some reason

They were raging hot fav's and went in thinking they had it won against a team containing Andrew Johns. Not too many similarities there. We're more like the 2016 Sharks I reckon.

Oh don't get me wrong, I won't be surprised if Penriff win. Melbourne love a GF choke.

Storm only choke every second GF, the last one was 2018. This time we are due for a win, or at least a competitive performance.

 

[moffla]

The old Storm GF choke is a myth.

2 and 2 the past decade. That’s a good record tbf

 

[GongPanther]

God himself wouldn't have outrun Satts that day.

Jesus would have replaced God by that time and would have gone close.

Hoping for a good game as I have no preference for who wins.

Either the season of smug is completed or we get the lyrical waxing of Cameron cringe.

So which do you prefer? Smug or Cringe?

 

[JamesRustle]

Is smug soft, moist and easy to swallow, or is it a choking hazard?

 

[mozza91]

Smug all the way. Cameron going out a loser would be fantastic.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Bar storm fans, every wants the smuggers to win and Cameron to go fully bald on Sunday night.

I don't think that is actually true. The Eels were overwhelmed with the pressure and expectation that heavy favouritism brought that they were beaten before the game started.
