Is Kevvie is fair dinkum then he won't hide up in the stands. He will get down on the sideline and direct his team like a real coach tonight (At least that is what I'm hoping to see).

Broncos because their season is over. A real Canberra Raiders effort incoming.

So you're telling me there's a chance two Storm spine players get season ending injuries and lose the game?


Yeah yeah I know bad taste and it would ruin my multi.

Melbottom's bottoming culture is so significant that even the straight dudes look like bottoms

That's because even the straight dudes ARE bottoms. You just know they're all getting pegged by a chick with a nose ring and pit hair

You're quite right. Straight dudes are the base of my food pyramid and quite of few of them reside in Melbottom!!!

There wouldn't be any sympathies from me. They can cry into their tranches of NrL ApPrOvEd unlisted BETr shares

There is no if, we will play finals - So this game is worth 4 competition points and adds +50 to F/A - QLD maffs, just like GI

This one will be interesting because of the blame being directed at Walters for an underperforming season. Will the Broncos players be doing it for Kevvie? Will they rise to the occasion despite players out through injury? It might not mean anything if they win, but the media are going to make plenty of it if they lose, and you can expect another week of ‘Sack the Coach’ headlines if they lose badly.
Storm on a the other hand will be riding high on Minor Premiership success but it’s hard to see them really going full throttle on the eve of finals. If the Broncos really rip in, you might see a conservative response from the Storm because Bellamy won’t want to risk injury and suspension. In saying that, I still expect the Storm to be quite clinical in trying to secure a victory.

Yeah I’ve got an appointment with the glue factory after this one. As I go up the conveyor belt I’ll rest easy with the knowledge that next year we’ve got Kevvie.
