2021 Bandwagon

[Meth]

All aboard

Who are you backing in the run home?
Also, who do you have finishing 8th?

I think the Sharks will squeak in, just ahead of the Titans and Raiders on points deferential.

I'll be cheering the Sea Eagles. I think they'll have a tough run in the finals, but hopefully they can get it done.

 

[JJ]

Haven’t looked at 8th, but always like Penrith and they’re imo the only team that can beat Melbourne…

 

[Scott]

Really enjoy watching the Storm play, but can't bring myself to 'want' them to win it.

I'm on Manly. Also love watching their style of play.

8th - who cares, they won't beat Manly or Easts (assuming one of these 2 finish 5th).

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Bunnies for me. Cody and Latrell in full flight is a sight to behold

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Super keen on Penrith winning. Was a fan of theirs before the Warriors, I love Ivan like I love cheese pizza, and I hate the Storm like I hate anti-vaxxers on social media.

 

[Blair]

I've always been a closet Storm fan and will fully come out once the Raiders are truly done.

Storm are a lot harder to hate now that Cronk, Slater and Smith are gone. For me anyway.

Cheese, Jahrome Hughes, Addo Carr, Olam seem like real good guys and outweigh some of the dirty shit that Munster comes up with lol

 

[Campion]

Storm -- I like Olam, Smith, Hughes, and NAS. Also the Bromwich brothers etc.

 

[Apey]

You guys can still theoretically make it if Raiders/Titans/Sharks lose their last two right? You play Raiders & Titans.

You're exactly right, in terms of good guys anyway. I don't think I'll ever get past my disdain of the Storm until Bellamy goes and there's still ties to the old cheating regime. So that might be a while...

 

[Matua]

I'm picking the team with the most NZers and will back them.

let us know who that is. Storm?

 

[Matua]

I'm assuming it would be the Storm, but will sit down over the next week and make an assessment.

I'll base it on playing time too, not just kiwis at the club.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Would be comfortably Storm in that area you’d think. I still hate the way they play in the ruck and while they may be less hateable now they still have plenty of grubs like Munster, Kaufusi and NAS

Will help you out with Manly - Foran, Harper, Sipley, Taupau and Paseka in the top 17

 

[Penrose Warrior]

I'd be very happy for Manly to win. How is Sipley going?

Have to admit I've had a soft spot for Manly since the 08 GF. That was the most enjoyable game not involving my team I've ever watched. And that was before I knew the Storm were cheating Cs

Sipley has been outstanding this year, huge impact off the bench and has been promoted to starting the last couple of games, not too long ago signed an extension so Des must be happy

Peak league for me 2008. The sound inside the stadium when Menzies dotted down will stay with me forever

Don't include that Judas in the total.

Think us as Warriors fans always knew that would be the case with Sipley. Good luck to him

I agree, 2008 was the peak of league for me too. I was lucky enough to work in the game and be in the environment at the Warriors every week. It was a hell of a ride. Add to that the RLWC triumph and Manly belting the shit out of the Storm in the final, and it was just the best

I was at the prelim as well v the Warriors and the atmosphere was electric ! From memory the Warriors 20s were the curtain raiser and coughed up a 10pt lead to a hot Brisbane side in the last few mins

Might have to go and dig out the season highlights dvd

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Manly for me, because seeing Tommy Turbo carry a team to glory like that would be the stuff of legends. Would be happy to see Penrith seal the deal too. More Storm dominance would be boring, so it’ll probably happen.
