[GongPanther]

Parra to shock the scum by 18-12.

 

[Valheru]

storm look primed to win the comp.

Them easily.

 

[Incorrect]

I was supremely confident of a massive win but I just realised that we will be wearing our God-awful yellow jersey. Nothing good comes from that.

Storm by 54

 

[Bazal]

Yucky

 

[Cumberland Eel]

I just hope nobody gets hurt..

 

[Someguy]

Game plan is surely wrestle and milk. Worked pretty well a few weeks ago see how it goes against a full strength storm

 

[Someguy]

I just hope nobody gets hurt..

Sivo to get hurt 7-8 times

 

[Bazal]

Game plan is surely wrestle and milk.

Sure but what about for Parra?

 

[footy75]

Storm easily

 

[Tommy Smith]

Storm are absolute morals.

And the Eels will go out in straight sets to Souths.

 

[Eelectrica]

I reckon we'd have a chance against the Storm team that played today. If Bellemy could give them another chance, that'd be awesome.

 

[This Year?]

I've been waiting for months to see the Eels gain their lost confidence. Saturday night was a step in the right direction and this time they have to put a demon to rest.

Finals always throws up unexpected things and I hope the Eels can surprise us against QLD'S last hope.

 

[SDM]

I watched Storm today and they were shithouse, who lets the dragons come back and get the better of them? Cripple fight incoming.

yeh but the purple dicks will have their 10 best players back, including referee cameron smith who is like a shitstain on the toilet bowl that you try to blast off with piss, but wont go away...

Really hope parra can upset, but i just cant see it happening...
storm by 16

 

[Jimmy-o]

Bald coach = loss

 

[Lemon Squash]

Pffffffffft Melbourne could trot out the 17 that played today and still ream us.

Then we will play Souths at BankWest who absolutely molested us there a month ago.

Looking forward to it.

 

[footy75]

I watched Storm today and they were shithouse, who lets the dragons come back and get the better of them? .

A team that has zero reason to win and has its eyes set on the next weeks final.

 

[StormFred]

Great that Storm will meet the Eels at Suncorp (pretty much their home ground when not at AAMI). If there is any upside to this game it's that we seem to be increasing our Qld supporter fan base. Brad Arthur's comment that the Eels got some confidence in beating the Tigers last week has some merit. So I am only able to pick the Storm by around 20 points.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Can't see anything but a Storm victory
And I fully expect the Eels to lose the following week

This Eels team is probably the worse top 4 team I can ever remember.
