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.

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

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.

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.

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
