Well this should be fun.

 

[Apey]

I reckon we can keep them under 70.

 

[mozza91]

Please be gentle Melbourne.

 

[Medievalknight]

Can,t see them being gentle...................a new record score coming up

 

[Eelectrica]

Are Melbourne going to start treating this season as a battle royale and start kicking teams out of contention?

 

[Apey]

Not even joking, they should rest players. They could beat us comfortably without their 1st choice spine playing.

 

[The_Frog]

Teams do bounce back and I expect the Knights to do that here. The Storm will probably bounce the other way, but it won't be enough to change the result from a comfortable purple win.

They did that last year as well. Meant nothing when they needed a try in the prelim but couldn't find it.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

JFC, didn't the Newy locals suffer enough last weekend?

you poor bastard, you're hoping...
And I don't blame you!

 

[Son of Manly Beach]

100 nil

 

[Perth Red]

Ponga to show why he is worth a mill. Storm by only 40.

 

[GongPanther]

Suicide tip here. Newcy by 4.

 

[roofromoz]

Crime scene tape to be placed around the stadium pre kick off, as a precaution.

 

[Leaguenutter]

This’ll be a disaster for the Cnights.
Melbourne 189 - Spewcastle 1

Can’t see us kicking a field goal tbh

 

[macavity]

Has a team cracked 100 in first grade before?

91 is the record I think

 

[Vic Mackey]

I doubt it will be the 50+ score everyone is anticipating. There will be a bit of bounceback from the Knights and the Storm won't get the possession like that second half again.

Storm by 18
