Oh, boy.

 

[Penrith fan]

Boy, those Guernsey's have been thought through meticulously.

Well hello sailor.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

I mean maybe the Bulldogs could’ve pulled off the Sailor colours but the Rabbits???

Maybe the designer knew Souths would be
“All at Sea.” by now.

 

[Penrith fan]

its a bit cute really, does it really matter when Souffs are 0-40 by half way through the second half.

 

[yobbo84]

The battle of the aerial specialists in Xavier Coates and Taane Milne will be one for the ages

 

[Penrith fan]

The forwards battle should be massive.

 

[yobbo84]

Our back 7 is missing 5 first picks. That's too much to go up against a full-strength Storm backline.

 

[Penrith fan]

It will be a cold old night in Bleak City

Storm will be playing the role of the Turks.

Souths can't play with the ANZAC spirit, and have aptly chosen the "surrender" white jersey and will assume the mindset of most non-German continental European countries.

Storm 58- 6

 

[This Year?]

Trying to come up with a multi for this one should be fun.

 

[GongPanther]

Mel 26-12.

 

[Nafedogg]

Probably not the game to get our season on track haha. I’ll be wearing my TV Week jersey as it feels like 2002 all over

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

It's appropriate that Souffs are wearing the cute sailor getups because Melbourne are about to rock the boat with them.

Coates any time try scorer into Melbourne half-time/full-time double

 

[GongPanther]

It's appropriate that Souffs are wearing the cute sailor getups because Melbourne are about to rock the boat with them.

Souths will run on with arseholes, at fulltime will resemble portholes.
