2021 PF 1 Sat - Melbourne 6-10 Penrith @ Suncorp

[THE CHAMP]

The only hope of the NRL GF out rating the AFL GF is if Storm are in it.
Any genuine RL fan should be praying for a Storm victory.

Are you counting international viewers?
If so you’re counting wrong

I'll be cheering for the smug but I don't they're playing well enough to beat this Storm side.

Neither result would surprise me here. If Panthers rediscover their best form then it's going to be close.

One or two mistakes after an absorbing 1st half will be the difference for either side. Whoever wins this matchup of the year will be 2021 champions. No doubt the winner of Souths V Manly will be shitting bricks.

All I ask for is a well officiated game.

Or is that asking too much?

 

[myrrh ken]

I really feel for the refs this game. It will be a hard decision as to who they will favour.

 

[myrrh ken]

I have some terrible news!

If the Storm don't make the Grand Final the Tuvan throat singing championships will outrate the Grand Final!

I think the smug players might be singing Tuvan style after this game

Just giving the people what they want

PENRITH by the barrel full. For the purposes of ratings alone, it is only best that PENRITH win on Saturday. Melbourne will be preoccupied by something else anyway, the AFL... something.

@Rhyno is a parra supporter

If I were a troll looking to diversify, what better way than to do it than under the guise of a supporter of a different club.

This is a struggle. Penrith are not Melbourne, but smug and Melbourne are… Melbourne.

So I’ll just choose death thanks

 

[StormFred]

I have no doubt that the winner of this game (as I thought when Roosters played Storm a few years back) would go on and win the grand final.

 

[OzDragon]

Hope neither team wins

Kthxbye

This is disappointing. I just bought extra Monte Carlos for the bandwagon.

Don't worry.

Beloved people's teams South and Manly are on the other side of the draw!

I was only gammin’. At the end of the day I really would prefer that the sun explodes rather than Melbourne win.

 

[Chippy73]

I dont think I've seen that. But these merkins go alright at it.

F**k I feel psyched for combat after watching that.

I always watch it as I refer to it as "disorganized panic". The 1/2 time shows can be unintentionally ball searingly funny as I remember good old Meat Loaf.

Uncle Rupert got on the phone. Fookin arseholes.

How many Nathan Cleary involvements will it take for Michael Ennis to climax?

I’m guessing his first long kick.
