[Mr. Shaman]

Hopefully the winner of this win the comp.

Preferably Roosters but they stink.

 

[moffla]

Storm to run off with it in the last 20. Nervous though

I am dissapoint.

Yuck.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Melbourne by as many as they like.


....Yes. Both PRELIM FINALs are going to be slaughters. GG NRL. Quality stuff.

 

[Rudy]

Storm by 24.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

just want a close game

Just want Karen to whinge "too many times" as in the Roosters have lost to Storm "too many times".

I'm not writing the Roosters off

Last year the Roosters went down with basically thier NSW Cup team and only lost by a last play miracle.

If either Suaalii or Toupu had played there's no way Warbrick out leaps them to score.

Surely Fox and Nine have a camera on the coaches boxes all game, it's where the real action will be and fans don't want to miss out.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Manly were buggered against us and their week was two days shorter than ours. Given Storm had a week off, I cant see us sticking with them for 80

 

[This Year?]

Law of averagea suggests Roosters to win!

 

[moffla]

I think it'll be a tight one for the fist 60odd, but I can see us rolling through with a few late tries. 26-10 or something.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Was impressed with East’s against Manly, however they'll need to improve from that to trouble Melbourne. If Walker was there I'd give them a chance, without him I'm not sure they can break down the Storm edge defence as easily as they could Manly. Melbourne by 18.

 

[Fangs]

Melbourne will win but Roosters will test them. Storm will be troubled by their attack.

I'm sure the Roosters would have preferred Saturday night. An extra day for recovery goes a long way. Especially when your opposition hasn't played for two weeks.

 

[hineyrulz]

Law of averagea suggests Roosters to win!

I say that every Friday night at the Chardie’s as well.

 

[Sime_11]

Storm clinic and a comfortable 12 point win
