[Yosh]

We always seem to do quite well against the Storm. I'm gonna call us by 10!

 

[Zoidberg]

We got dis. Us by 2

 

[Old dog]

We got dis. Us by 2

Your kidding

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Storm to play 95% of the game 5m offside and all over the ruck and to still win the penalty count

 

[Zoidberg]

Your kidding

Have some faith brother


But yeah no, I will be shocked if we win.

 

[Haffa]

Hostile Sunday crowd please.

 

[Old dog]

Hostile Sunday crowd please.

Need a hostile pack to go with it and a big team effort

 

[Sydney Knight]

Bromwich out and Slater in doubt.

 

[Noname36]

Bromwich out and Slater in doubt.

I’d prefer it if Billy played. Usually has a shocker against us for some reason.

 

[Bartwah]

If Pearce was playing, I’d be very confident. Storm by 8

 

[Zoidberg]

What a great week for the refs to be told to find a balance with the penalties/game flow. Prepare for us to be wrestled and held down in tackles all night.

 

[Knight Vision]

Storm to play 95% of the game 5m offside and all over the ruck and to still win the penalty count

this....teams like the Storm and Broncos always get a major leg up and almost all the 50/50 calls. We'll have to play out of our skin to get near them. But we have KP so anything is possible.

 

[Yosh]

Give us a repeat!!

 

[Still Nutty]

Give us a repeat!!

Sitting on the opposite side in the Andrew Johns Stand when Kidley slotted that one over...not quite the 'Darren Albert' moment BUT it felt pretty damn good on the night....I'd take that again

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Would any of us trust Ponga or Sio to land that kick based on their goal kicking form this season?

 

[Old dog]

I didn't trust Kurt to kick it at the time let alone Ponga or Sio now, was a great moment not only the kick but the teams reaction afterwards

 

[Old dog]

This week we will be outsized but am hoping King, Barnett and Yates show the aggression they have in them, hit hard and strong and at least let the Storm know they have played a game

Billy scared of the Pong is confirmed.
