Round 9 - NRL Magic Round in Brisbane

[Obscene Assassin]

is anyone else a bit worried about how the suncorp surface is going to stand up to 8 games being played there over one weekend?

thank god we aren't the last game this week!

I'm still worried since we're the 6th game overall and 3rd game on the same day. If anyone has a knee, hamstring or ankle issue I'd think twice about playing them

 

[T.S Quint]

This magic round is a stupid idea.
The fact that it is in Brisbane is even stupider.
That the Broncos aren’t playing a home game this weekend is the stupidest thing of all time!

 

[Snoochies]

It may be a home game for the Storm but it will feel more like an Eels home game up here, Parra have a huge support base north of the border. Rather play Melbourne here than down there.

Is this the team list thread? Timmy's foot looked a 2 weeker to me. We might have to tolerate Kane for 6 minutes again.

Wrong again. Tim back in, Kane to extended bench. Is Tepai going serve a suspension?

That is our best possible team IMO excluding both Browns.

I like the look of that not as depleted side!

 

[Twizzle]

yay, Will Smith

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Not seeing anything about Moeroa fighting the charge. I guess he took early guilty plea.

Another thing I don't like about doing that is it's a double whammy cos the next time you're charged not only do you already have carryover points but you then have a further loading from this offence.

 

[Twizzle]

we never fight any charges

 

[Djay]

Reckon it will be Parra, we normally bring 15k with us doing well we might get 20k Eels fans. Storm do have a following up here but not as big as ours.

Yea, whenever we play up there our support looks awesome, the fact it's not against Brisbane and it's magic round could have the crowd in our favour.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Storm lost to the Sharks and Roosters when both those teams were missing 800 players so we are absolute trash if we don't beat them

 

[Djay]

Oh and Perenara's ref against Melbourne of all teams, being ambushed already.

how have we got this maggot again already?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Perenara looks shitscared most of the time. I think we should make Ma'u captain whenever he refs us.

 

[TheParraboy]

How the hell did Maloney beat that chicken wing tackle on Bateman??

 

[parrathruandthru]

we never fight any charges

Fought the Sam Hughes dangerous tackle charge from the SG Ball final and he got an extra week

 

[Eelogical]

Perenara looks shitscared most of the time. I think we should make Ma'u captain whenever he refs us.

If Ma'u looked at the ref, Perenara would sin-bin himself.
