Disappointed that big Nelson will be rubbed out for this match.
He got sin binned and penalised but apparently his hit on Collins is worth 5 weeks. Surely if it was really that bad then it shouldve been a send off in the first place.
Storm will adequately cover for him but fans are being robbed of a good match up for the GF.

Storm have been the form team of the year but Panthers have them covered comfortably experience wise. Only 4 Storm players playing on Sunday have played in a GF but it is the 1, 6, 7 plus Welch. Munster is the only spine player who has played multiple (2016, 2017, 2018, 2020).

Super hard to pick, neither result would surprise. Panthers were average against Sharkies but you'd expect them to be much better in the GF.

When did Grant play in a GF?

You're right, fixed. He was at Storm in 2018 but didn't play, Tigers 2020.

The 4th is Christian Welch who I forgot about given he's playing < 10 minutes. Was there for 2016, 2018, 2020 (injured 2017).
