2021 R1 Thu - Melbourne 26-18 South Sydney @ AAMI

[Jim Rockford]

Poor old Jim Rockford hasn’t quite worked out the game days thingy yet ...lol

So I guess that morons can say any idiotic crap they want without fear of rebuttal. That's how the game days "thingy" works?

 

[gerg]

Should be a really good game this one. I think Storm have an undefeated rd 1 record under Bellamy, don't they? Can they continue that record without Cam, and Grant also out? Home ground advantage too. But Souths look the goods this year. Really good game to start the season.

It’s not for the sensitive

I get that and I'm all for banter. I just can't stomach mindless stupidity.

 

[Valheru]

Storm to win their first game in front of a home crowd in forever.

Dont think the result will tell us much about either team going forward though.

Looks like your shit outta luck

Can’t wait, absolutely pumped for some live rugby again.

you're off to see the melb rabble are you ?

Game of the round by a long long way
Storm should win , but the bunnies are the real deal in 2021 however this is as stern a test of that tag as you'll get.

Tough first up game. Bunnies looked very strong towards the end of last year. In the tipping comp I picked the Bunnies for this one (yep that will probably curse them).

I'm guessing I have to pick the Storm now to balance that out.

Last time they lost in round 1 was 2001. In 2004 they lost their first match, but it was in round 2.

 

[Apey]

Souths to win & LU to predict Storm are finished.

 

[Someguy]

Fairytale starts here! Coach with a great grand final record and the team with the most GF wins. Last season together GF will be a massive win for the NRL

Where is Smith, out injured?

 

[Rhyno]

Storm by 2

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Hopefully someone kicks a two point field goal or 7.

How exciting!

The bigger record is that apparently Souths have never beaten the Storm in Melbourne.

The Bunnies will put a score on any team that in the least bit tackle shy. The Storm are not such a team. This is a game that will show us where Souffs really stand as a contender.

What a revelation! A team will score points if the other team doesn't tackle!

It hasn't been mentioned but Jai Arrow coming off the bench. Considering he was a big signing for Souths its interesting. I presume this maybe just Bennett slowly working him into the side. Because he wouldn't be coming off the bench at the Titans.
