Round 24 v Melbourne

[Fangs]

Here we are.

9 in a row. Hard to believe but its happened.

Now we face our 2024 grand final opponents. No Hughes for the Storm and probably no Yeo for Penrith?

Expecting it to be as good if not better then our Bulldogs match in July. This one will be a ripper.

Watching the Storm lately and they haven't been going straight to Katoa on the right side but on Thursday night were desperate to get Coates the ball, mostly with the aerial attack.

It seems they are taking the spotlight off Katoa as well as Grant running a lot more than usual.

I've said this before, control Katoa and that's when the Storm goes to plan B in Coates. Stop Grant and put Munster under pressure in defence, and then the rest, being only bit part players, usually panic and make errors.

Play like GF 2024 and we will go a long way to winning again.

I think the Storm are a very well rounded side. Focus too much on shutting down one player and another will hurt you.

Drag them into deep water and drown them is how we have beaten them. We have the blueprint to do it, time to execute again. Roll through our sets, kick long and chase hard. Keep the ball in play for long periods. Get early clean ball to Casey and Tago when we have worked their forwards over.

I am expecting a very high quality game and whilst I’d love to see us win it, a loss here isn’t the end of the world.

Will be a high intensity game where both sides play conservatively and not show their hands.
We'll meet again in the finals.

Shouldn't be too many points scored either.
I'm expecting similar to last years GF.
And I'll be there cheering the boys and booing Munster.

Same as the weekend except Yeo for Eiso (if fit).

 

[Murraymob1]

Any word on Yeo the seems to be a lot of deflection when asked about him hope the injury is not worse than thought

Keep dropping the big boys underneath and make Grant make a billion tackles.

It’s not a pretty game plan, but it’s pretty damn effective.

This game wont tell us anything really. Will be interesting to see how hard both sides go.
