Reckon the Storm will get up in a tight one. Munster to pull his finger out and have a dominant Finals series.

You've tipped both sides to win. You're getting splinters in your arse from sitting on the fence.

You took my post too literally. I'm 95% on the Broncs, unless Paps can pull a Rabbit out of a hat, Storm won't know what hit them.

The "secret weapon" Brissy have this time is Walsh. Melbourne are going to do everything they can to take him out of the game (probably literally knowing them), Munster practically gave up the ghost to the media during the week, so the Broncs need a game plan that finds a way to prevent that, or at least mitigate their efforts enough that he can still weave his magic effectively enough to win.

The key to that is in the front row. Haas, Carrigan and Flegler need to just roll the dice with the refs and bring the aggression hard. Pound Melbourne up the middle so hard they're too shellshocked and desperate to halt them that Walsh becomes a secondary concern.

Reminds me of 2015 QF when RTS was on another planet. Melbourne completely nullified him in that game and won a tight contest. Bellamy is like Bill Belichick, he will make it so someone other than the best player has to step up to win.

One difference though is he had Cronk, Slater and Smith to execute that plan.

‘Like Sam Burgess with straighter teeth’: Reynolds’ rap for Carrigan

Brisbane enforcer reminds Adam Reynolds of Souths legend Sam Burgess, and the Broncos halfback is convinced he can lead them to a premiership this year.

Adam Reynolds has an 11.8% win record against the Storm (2 from 17), the worst of any of his opponents. He has won against them once since 2013. He has a positive win record (50%+) against every other team he has played over his career!

Combined with the Broncos record against the Storm, if the Broncos win it'll be one heck of a broken hoodoo.
