[Diesel]

Cleary shoulder will be the story of the week

 

[Valheru]

Take the $1.92 on Melbourne whilst you can.

This won't be close

 

[AlwaysGreen]

2 best teams
Hopefully all fit and healthy

 

[Scootsie]

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.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

What a piece of stanking shit season this has been.

Mother Earth by one earthquake and 3 types of plague.

 

[roboshark]

Incredible that a rugby league state wins the AFL and an AFL state could win the NRL

 

[moffla]

Take the $1.92 on Melbourne whilst you can.

Early crow - no result surprises me

 

[moffla]

Incredible that a rugby league state wins the AFL and an AFL state could win the NRL

2012 says hello

 

[Nuke]

1 vs 2. The two most deserving teams are into next week's Grand Final.

That said, wow, ho hum. Don't want Panthers to win 4 in row, but the only alternative is freakin' Melbourne.

 

[wittyfan]

I shall be Team Purple this week.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Let's f**king goooooo baby!

 

[Mr. Shaman]

End of smug

 

[Exsilium]

I don’t think Melbourne winning takes much away from what this side has achieved.

 

[moffla]

I don’t think Melbourne winning takes much away from what this side has achieved.

Agree. Whatever the result I don’t think it leaves the losing side with any damage to their legacy.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Up the Riff. Beat 4 merkin clubs in 4 consecutive grand finals.

 

[Apey]

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.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

This reminds me of the Eels/Panthers 2022 GF,Eels won the two regular season meetings against Penrith but got flogged in the GF.

Storm have won the 2 regular season meetings against Penrith this year but i expect them to lose the big one like Parra.

 

[Munky]

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 & 9. Munster is the only one 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?

 

[Apey]

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).
