[SDM]

The storm will thrust through holes in our edge defenses like a Capewell through a dunny door.

 

[Eelectrica]

To early to warm up the 50 thread?

To early to warm up the 50 thread?

A bit premature, Parra will probably only win 40-36

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Purple Cheats by 16

 

[Rhyno]

Eels by 4 in the GF preview

 

[Leber]

Eels Will get destroyed in this one.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

If the eels decide to actually complete a set in the first half they might only keep it to a single digit loss

 

[SDM]

If both teams replicate their first half performances from last week it will be 175-0.
If both teams replicate their second half performances from last week it might be a good game.

 

[Nerd]

You would think Parra would be better than last week so Storm by 6+.

 

[GongPanther]

Parra to show the world they are serious contenders after a brilliant come from behind win. Gotta give the Eels massive credit after that performance last week.

Eels by 10.

 

[84 Baby]

Bookies will be paying negative odds for Scum win.

 

[StormFred]

Given it's at Bankwest stadium, after the Eels supporters boo every decision that goes towards the Storm, Eels by 8 (did I mention last week I picked the Rabbitohs, so I may be known as the kiss of death)

 

[Someguy]

Will be the usual Parra game plan vs Storm. Do a crusher on every second tackle, the lay down dead at any hint of a crusher by the Storm

 

[84 Baby]

Yes the Eels are the noted crushers of the league. Why oh why did they bring wrestling into the sport? Damn you Parra!

 

[The Rosco]

Eels by 4 in the GF preview

LOLOL.
Parra don't have the luxury of playing a depleted wooden spoon team again.
Melbourne 42-6, ending Parra's season early.
Nathan Brown to surprise the league community by backing into a tackle, then staying down while rubbing his neck . . . then immediately upon hearing the whistle, springing back up to his feet looking to shove the tackler.
Sivo and CLINT will be watching on to refine their neck rubbing techniques. Not that they need improving !

You have the teams reversed tbh.

I'm gaping already

 

[soc123_au]

I can see this playing out a bit like that Jeff Stryker movie where he paints his bat purple & has at it with 17 bald gapers wearing nothing but blue & gold glitter.

 

[Cumberland Eel]

i’m just praying no eels players get hurt

 

[Lemon Squash]

Boganhuyzen will punch holes through us faster than Jesse Bromwich punches through a bag in the off-season
