[The Man Shake]

Well I would have liked to tip the Storm to win this, because I'll always back a regional team over a wanker Sydney team. But after losing to Newcastle, I'm afraid the trajectory for Melbourne is nothing but down, down, down. Eels by 12.

 

[This Year?]

The result of this game rests on the shoulders of one man:

 

[Valheru]

Melbourne have a habit of thumping teams after a disappointing performance.

Storm by plenty and Eels to enter the bottom 9 permanently.

 

[Bazal]

Waqa f**king Blake.

I'm busy inserting slivers of bamboo under my fingernails now Friday now.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Bellyache sort of eluded to it after the Knights game: The Scum are lacking a bit of desire at the moment, it almost looks like burnout. The top 4 is slipping away fast and he will want to be breaking out the peggings this week if they're serious about contending.

"eluded to it"....

To "what" did he elude? And if he eluded, how do you know what he said??

 

[GongPanther]

This looks like a draw with Parra getting the chocolates in GP.

Try harder.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Well it was a draw in round 1 but storm won in GP if you flip the result from that game.

Melbourne are 8th and Parra are 6th currently.

Shows how close the comp is and how close storm could be to being out of the 8 atm.

 

[sportsnut]

Melbourne will be angry. I see a blow out.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Parra are so bloody rich

 

[Bazal]

Parra are so bloody rich

This would also make sense because the thought capacity of our team is very much that of a bunch of blokes with a dense metal filling their skulls

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

This Melbourne team looks horrific. If Parra can not get over these chumps they deserve to not make the 8

 

[Someone2]

Eels by 4

[Grapple]

I think Eels have a real chance here. Storm are pretty random at Marvel. Definitely not a home town advantage.

Storm coming off a loss is always dangerous but a few new additions to the squad and big Nelson missing means Eels unpredictable play and offloads could snag them a win.

50/50 game I think. Have gone for Storm 1-12 with the brilliance of Munster and Hughes guiding them home in a close one.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Pathetic

Gutho has embraced the Parra baldness

 

[Generalzod]

What’s with King Gutho natural born killer look lol
