Should be a cracker!

Before a ball was kicked I had this as the GF too.
Storm hate playing in small shitty suburban grounds especially in the rain, so I reckon the Sharks have a fighters chance here. Nicho looks in form too and hopefully he can get 1 up over his former club.

We have a reasonable record against them at home. But Paps is on fire and can destroy you in minutes.

On the talk of GF’s to be honest if there is some big money early on a few not so obvious combinations I’d take a swing. This year could be anything it really could.

Would you say youre the storms BOGEY team?

 

[Vic Mackey]

The Storm have been beating up on shit teams at home but havent been impressive against anyone half decent away. The Sharks are definitely half decent and I expect them to aim up here.

Cronulla by 10.

 

[JamesRustle]

Last opportunity for Nico to press for origin selection so I expect an underwhelming performance from him.

Storm wingers missed out on the try scoring last week but will get in on the action this week.

Munster to be in a mood. Storm 34-8.

 

[speedster]

I smell a Sharkies ambush.

 

[This Year?]

I feel sorry the Storm fans on LU.No matter who they play against everyone else goes for the other team, even the Sharks.

 

[Diesel]

Tight game but Grant back could be the difference

You don’t feel sorry. But going for the Sharks is tough

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Harry Grant I am so back

 

[Diesel]

Grant looks like he’s warming up for @SLRBRONCOS

 

[chrisD]

Let’s go Sharkies. Put the Storm in a bubbler.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Grant looks like he’s warming up for @SLRBRONCOS

torn hammy is the least of his concerns

 

[Diesel]

JFH went to the bin for less this arvo

 

[chrisD]
