2024 R1 Fri - Melbourne 8-0 Penrith @ AAMI

[League Unlimited News]

I look at the lineups with Munster out and I remember our games against them from last year and I think we should win.
However I’m aware of their Round 1 record and have fears of us starting slow so I’m not so sure.

 

[King-Gutho94]

I know Covid wrecked 2 seasons but how on earth have Penrith not played at AAMI Park in 6 seasons.

Cameron Ciraldo was the caretaker coach last time they played there.

Ivan Cleary was still on the bus at the Wests Tigers.

Trent Merrin & RCG were the starting front rowers ffs.

And Penrith were still sitting on 2 Premierships.

They played there last year.

Before that it was 2018

Storm's forward pack is still the same dogshit as last year, except now there's a rookie at second row.

"Dogshit" pack who finished third last year.

Last year was at Marvel I think. So a bit of smoke and mirrors….

Exactly my thoughts…

Ah right, my bad

So 2021 and 2020 was due to covid. 2023 they played in Melbourne but different stadium due to women's world cup. 2022 was magic round.

So really only 2019 they weren't scheduled for an away fixture against Melbourne.

2021 Covid we played them at Suncorp
2022- We played them as the away team at Magic Round
Last year at Marvel because of the World Cup

"Dogshit" pack who finished third last year.

They were not in contention for the premiership at all. Getting bullied in the middle is something Bellamy coached teams aren't known for. It's going to continue this year.

Seeing Dyl with no hair has me genuinely worried for our chances this season.

It's an impressive stat but if you break it down, it shouldn't be a great shock.

Over the years they've always had an elite spine and I don't know that they would have come up against many top 4 teams from the previous year throughout those Round 1 games. I can't see how they compete with Penrith up the middle tonight.

 

[King hit]

Lol now the Sharks have won let's see Melbourne lose tonight and make my tipping 0/5

I laughed hard when I heard Munster carrying on about a 'form slump' a season where they finished 3rd and went out in a preliminary is a slump. I wish them a Tigers season if that's bad.

time for the heavyweights and time for martina cam

That is madness fixture planning. No other major league in the world would allow that to happen.

Need a good result here so the Mrs is up for some post game lovin'

 

[KennySterling]

Nice to hear Ginnane and then Cronk telling us what a great time everyone had in Vegas.
