I can't back against Craig Bellamy in round 1

Storm by 8

 

[MKCS]

This will be a cracker I think, Melbourne will struggle with a side missing some big stars so I'll say Parra to win but not by much.

Storm by 8

What is it? 20 seasons or something he has won Rd 1? Parra will just get them I think. Melbourne have lost their entire forward pack and Parra is a side that could smash them through the middle.

 

[This Year?]

Do the Storm have a Ryno equivalent? Hopefully that Dragons Panthers supporter in that vid switches again.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

Feels in a close one

 

[Bazal]

Oh f**k, is it time for this stuff again?

I better clear out my local Dan's rotgut shelves in preparation for another year

 

[JamesRustle]

Storm to embarrass Parra here. Munster to have a blinder. Moses to squeal.

 

[Eelectrica]

Melbourne are clearly due for a round 1 loss... which will probably happen next year.

 

[Someone2]

Eels by 8

 

[Vic Mackey]

Hard to tip against the storm in round 1, however the Eels have had their measure lately. Both teams look unrecognizable from last year so not an easy read. Could be whoever’s bench gives more as they both look complete aids. Will go Storm with Harry Grant being the difference. Melbourne by 8.

 

[This Year?]

I'm probably going to be last in my work tipping comp by the end of the week.
Go Parra!

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

The Storm are precious coma inducing merkii.

Go eels.

If you win and we somehow win against PeNriTh the fking christmas lights are going right up

 

[Apey]

I reckon Parra just because they seem to play better at that stadium.

The great Bea has glorious hair ffs!!

 

[JamesRustle]

Happy new season mofos.

I look forward to the game day threads more than watching the game on tv.

Right up my anus if we win those two, FMD.

 

[This Year?]

Right up my anus if we win those two, FMD.

Already much better than that Pride thread in the Parra forum too!

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Already much better than that Pride thread in the Parra forum too!

Because no one here has much to be proud of I suppose.

If the eels win, I’d be happy to buy a small battery operated rubber ferret as a gesture of respect.
