2020 R8 Thu - Storm 27-25* Roosters @ Suncorp

[Perth Red]

Hard to see us scoring enough points to win this one without Munster.

Roosters by the length of Martina’s strap on.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Roosters to win comfortably by half time.

Robinson & Cordner to visit the Melbourne dressing room after the game and thank Melbourne for their sacrifice to stay up at the Sunshine Coast for the rest of the season.

 

[JamesRustle]

Roosters 50-6

Certainly not favourites but I think we are in with a shot. Roosters weren’t their best last week and have lost a couple of key players.

16-14 storm, though I’ll probably change my mind 10 mins into the game lol

 

[AnonymousLurker]

Storm inferior side to roosters. The Munster loss is greater than the 3 out for roosters . HOWVER I’m tipping the storm , I have a feeling this will be an old fashion ambush,
Melbourne 1-12

Even though its only 8" at a time, that'd still have some K's on it . . . . .

 

[blaza88z]

I like Melbourne here

Storm by 8

 

[big hit!]

Without Munster's creativity who will crack the Roosters defence? Roosters just need to shut down Smith. Either way this will be tighter than Joey's sphincter is whenever he talks about Cameron Murray.

i wouldn't call Munster 'creative'. A beast of a player who is hard to physically rather than creatively contain.

If there was ever a time to start C.Smith in the halves and B.Smith at #9, this is it. Either Cam doesn't want to, or Bellamy thinks 1 of 2 things or both - 1: Cam getting his hands on the ball every play is the biggest asset Melbourne have; or 2: he believes moving Brandon from from a rotating middle forward position weakens the punch.

Looks like it's all up to C Smith. It will be interesting to see how Hughes and Jacks combine. The only way the Storm will win this is in the middle anyway IMO and I'd be looking to break Friend down if I was Bellamy.

I wonder if the refs will see Cam's forward passes in the halves?

The "Rooting King" model.

Matt Nable promo followed by a Matty Johns related something.

Rather Melbourne get smashed to be honest

Nothing beats a Matt Nable promo about the Tigers v Penrith game, with Parramatta somehow still getting the lead mention.

I'm just rejoicing that Anasta is in the studio and not in the commentary box for this one ! And Vonny seems very giggly today !

A Mas-sivo Friday night?

Andy Zaltzman would be proud.
