Val, that's a whole mess of counting and factoring in that you are expecting from Parramatta players.
This whole idea that everyone wants to avoid the storm is garbage.
It's an hour on a plane
You are correct that Melbourne don’t lift a gear, however if you are to beat them, generally you have to bust your balls. They rarely have that off day where the opposition is not great yet still beat them. They are daunting in finals due to their big game experience and the fact your side has to be perfect for stretches of time to get over them. That coupled with the recovery from the effort required to back up next week and do it again is the reason most sides prefer to take them on in a GF....one big game, one big effort.
Exactly. They're not unbeatable. Despite their 15 years of dominance, they only have two Premierships because other teams lift a gear to knock them off.
If the Raiders win, plenty. They were very stiff not to roll the Storm in 2017 in the first week, and while they might get over the Sharks , they'd then have the Storm or Panthers in sudden death. If Raiders lose, they'll have exactly the same incentive the Roosters had last night. They'll know where they stand at kickoff.
Taka for MOTM Baz!!!
It's only money.
