2020 QF2 (2 v 3) - Storm 36-24 Eels @ Suncorp

How the hell did the eels finish 3rd?

Brad Arthur is as shifty as he is bald.

Just received my member presale email, feels a bit like the Storm are trolling those of us stuck in Melbourne...

From reading this forum over the season I can reliably inform you it is a combination of a soft draw, extra games at bankwest, an NRL conspiracy and favourable treatment by the refs which has seen the Eels finish 3rd.

Pretty confident here but I do think Parra will turn up and be good value

Yeah had the same feeling surely they have a QLD residents only mailing list - leave us alone with these emails lol

I don’t feel sorry for Victorians. Parra fans can’t fly to QLD and watch the game because Victorians are too stupid to wash their hands and not have intercourse with people locked up in leper colonies.

 

[adamkungl]

Storm by as much as they want

I’m liking The latest game plan from the bald coach; hey you Gutho, every time you get the ball kick it.

Unclear how QLD's stubborn NSW border closure is somehow Victoria's fault, but don't fret, you've got a nice home game at Bankwest against the Bunnies to look forward to the following week.

Half our players will probably be out for the season due to grubby wrestling tackles.

They don't usually suspend players for that long though.

Storm are absolute morals.

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

I know they creamed your mob who weren't trying but I have serious doubts they will even get on the field with the Eels.

I would like to think it could be a close and exciting final like in 2017 between these 2 teams but it will probably be more like the 2019 matchup. Also I just realised that the Storm have never lost to Parra in a finals game.

It’s true, all finals games between the 2 clubs have either been won by the Storm or stricken from the record books.

They are still on the record books, it’s just that Storm’s trophies were voided. Yet the records are still valid for the RL stat nerds like me to reference.

I seem to have a dim, deep buried memory of a unco looking fullback who got kick happy

 

[GongPanther]

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.

The Storm can't get any better than they already are, so Parra know what to expect. On the other side of the coin, Parra need to approach this match with a good week's preparation, and if they get a good start against Melbourne, that's half the battle won.

If their attitude is of a siege mentality, and destabilise the Storm' attack and defence with aggressive tactics, they should get them in a tight win.

 

[big hit!]

Prediction: Sunshine Coast

To that list you can add the Roosters not wanting to travel to Brisbane.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

The filthy purple grubs to win by 14 hip-drops to nil.

Storm should win this but I think it will be a close game.
