Easts and Sharks are the only hopes to stop the purple scrum
If we aren't contenders then who are?
The Sea Eagles just got beat by 50. The Broncos will struggle to make the top 4 now and looked poor on Friday. The Eels were impressive but we beat them by 40 two months ago and they're missing their first choice FB and hooker. The Cowboys won't win it without JT and Scott.
So who does that leave as a form line? The Sharks but it's hard to go b2b.
Are you saying that only the Storm can win it? Just curious as to who you think are more serious contenders than the Roosters given we're a hugely impressive 14-5.
Fair point, though we were missing SST and Cordner - our two best forwards.Did the Roosters not get beaten 44-12 with an almost full strength team? How is that any different to Manly losing by 30?
I'm seriously wondering if any team is going to stop Melbourne.
The last thing rugby league needs is back to back GF wins by that animal pack Cronulla, led by Chief NRL thug Paul Gallen. Everyone should be praying for a good clean GF between the clinical Melbourne Storm and the dazzling Sydney Roosters. Luke Keary, Latrell Mitchell or S.S. Taukeiaho for the Clive Churchill!

Clean GF with Tetevano in the team? A bit ironic.

Magistrate Ian Cheetham detailed the attacks, including instances of grabbing the victim’s singlet around her neck and throwing her across a room, punching, kicking and verbal abuse.
Tetevano smashed the victim’s phone, damaged her car and smashed other objects.
On at least two occasions she locked herself in a room to keep a drunken Tetevano at bay.
Can't see a GF with Melbourne storm in it being exciting sorry
NoI was very impressed by the Melbourne Storm yesterday. Manly didn't even play particularly bad they just were beaten senseless by Melbourne and cop a 34 point loss. Didn't even seem like Melbourne were struggling.
Admittedly I might be biased but I think the grand final this year will be Melbourne Vs Roosters. A full Melbourne team at their best vs a full Roosters team at their best would be a great sight to see. Who would win? I think the backlines are pretty equal, Melbourne have the better halves and spine but Roosters have better forwards.
We'll have a better idea at the end of this round. If Roosters smash Manly like Melbourne did then maybe they can knock Melbourne off. If it's back and forth with Manly (Like I think it will be) with the Roosters winning by six it'd show that Melbourne are head and shoulders above everyone else.
They'vechanged how they play and added more expansive attack this year.
