Storm by 12

 

[Chins get the wins]

Panthers 13+

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Ooooh it's at Marvel.

 

[This Year?]

If Munster or a sofa solo moaner can't penetrate the pink wall the Storm are going to struggle.
I'd go the unders if I was a betting man.

 

[Apey]

Storm haven't been that great this year. Panthers are only missing Cleary really. Their defence will get them home I think.

 

[GongPanther]

Storm faves? OK, Panthers by eleventy eleven.

 

[pantherz9103]

First time this version of the Panthers, i.e. with multiple premiership winners and an actual strong defence will play the Storm in Melbourne (we won under caretaker Ciraldo v under strength Storm in 2018). Traditionally we do poorly there but we match up far better now. It will be a difficult game but quietly confident.

 

[The Lounge Lizard]

A team with Tariq Sims in the starting 13 is bound to get a hiding. May as well chuck Ruan in there too.

Panfers by the length of Seven Mile Beach.

Could go either way. We’ve not been overly consistent this season but our past few games have shown good signs. True test for us, will be satisfied if we are competitive to the end.

Fun fact: Tariq's inclusion increases the average length of on-field manhood by just over an inch.

And how do you know this?

This...

And all Storms and Panthers have mircophallus.

 

[ACTPanthers]

Must've been a VERY cold day...

 

[Someguy]

TAB needs a HIA no way are storm favourites. Stronger forward pack and better execution puts panthers way ahead. Only freak play by Munster or NAS could give Storm any chance

Hmmmm. If he lets go of that hat do you think it drops to the ground, or stays in place?

 

[This Year?]

One could say he's a shadow of his former self.
