Just another example of a gutter human jumping on another gutter humans bandwagon because he hasn't got a brain to post anything sensible.
Denial isn't just a river in Egypt you know.
Maybe the fines and two years of salary cap reduction were just because the NRL didn't like Galen's hair colour?

I feel like these are the top 2 teams and will probably meet in the GF.

Yeah you can never write off Penrith but they've been limping past bottom 8 sides and lost to us.

Roosters are cooked with no halfback

Sharks fans get so uppity if anyone dares to say something remotely negative about their precious little club.

Stick to your safe space sub forum fellas.

Think this might be the Storms toughest match of the finals. The way the Sharks play seems to be a bad match for some teams and the STorm is one of them. Their massive prop rotation and aggressive outside backs make meters pretty easily against them. Trindall has been in great form, hes one of the most under rated players in the comp.

Storm will be up for it and if they get a win will be nearly impossible to stop making the GF. I do think they get this done however am all over Cronulla +9.5

While Storm are favourites for the comp, I still think they're very beatable. The most impressive aspect of their game this year for me is how they almost always find a way win. They've played been in some real close games, they've had some games where they've let in a ton of points, but they find a way to win. That's going to be more difficult to do in the finals with better teams aiming up.

The most shocking result to me here would be either team winning comfortably. I think Storm will win, but it will be hard fought and close.

We are the biggest outsider for the weekend.

But now Jesse Ramien has been ruled out the odds have shortened for the Storm.

You can now get Sharks +10.5 for $1.90

Or $3.60 to win without the handicap.

Our biggest obstacle for the match is the man in the middle with the whistle who loves Melbourne at home…..

With Ramien out I give the Sharks a 50% better chance of winning tbh

The Sharks are morally obligated to win this match today.

This is starting to look like a very boring finals series. No one wants a Storm v Penrith final. But if Cronulla win today the competition changes completely.

Do it for Rugby League.
