On topic, the rugby league fan in me will be cheering for Manly in this one. The Panthers fan in me will be hoping Melbourne get up. For some reason I'd rather face Manly in a prelim and Storm in a GF rematch. Not sure why it would make a difference, but there you go. It should be a cracking game either way.

What I like about Killer and Cliffy is that they are dual premiership winners with Manly.

Pretty nice to have some dual premiership winning club legends.

I reckon the Storm are pretty happy with their collection of multi-premiership winning club legends as well!
What I like about Cliffy and Killer is they didn't sign multiple contracts or knowingly take part in rorting the cap. The same definitely can't be said for the Drizzle cheats (sorry,"Club Legends" :rolleyes: .

I doubt dual premiership winners the Fox and Cameron Munster did that seeing as they were children when that happened.

Self satisfied Penrith fan pontifications on LU are starting to make me actively disfavour the footy team.....a club I've been ambivalent about for going on 40 years.

In fact I might even cheer the Storm in another GF between the two...at least the Storm fans on here aren't unbearably smug.
Wow, give an opinion just to speak one's mind, and the vaginas start filling up with buckets of sand. You lose, bad luck. You win, and I hope there is a brilliant performance again from Turbo in store for all of us, so all good for you. But Melbourne's defense I think, will be a different and difficult task altogether.

Storms edges too weak. Think they will mostly stop turbo in the middle of the field but Garrick is a special for a hat trick

No problem with the opinion it was the "big boppers have strolled into town" angle that sent the smug o meter to 9/10.

Big Bopper status is not reached until a half decade of dominance with a couple of premierships at the very least.

Well, going by popular impressions, Panthers, Mel and to a much smaller degree are the tall poppies of the comp.

If we don't get to the GF, I hope Turbo and Manly kill it.

Agreed that Melbourne and Penrith are clearly the teams to beat in 2021, I can't separate the two.

I think we lose on Friday night, but it won’t be a big loss points wise and they get their cage rattled hardcore…. And also because we have this silly three wins, one loss thing going on this year. Of course, if the pattern holds, we go on to win the next three games 😉😉

Pattern dead. We’ve won 4.
