Round One v Melbourne

[Iamback]

Fair enough.

Arrived back from Perth today so might head out to Windsor on Friday night and hope for improved performances from Ball and Matt’s.

I wouldn't bet on it. We play another hard team, That draw is garbage how you don't play every team.

Give us the Bears or a bum team

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Melbourne Round 1 record speaks for itself, us coming off WCC and trip to UK with one shitty game under the belt.

Going to be a tough one to win, Storms forwards are ass but i'm prepping for a slow start to the season. I'll be pleasantly surprised if we jag this one.

 

[The yak]

It still boggles my mind that the defending premiers are playing away from home in round 1.
Premiers should start the year at home.

Well Melbourne have never lost a Round 1 game, so surely you don’t expect to play Penrith away from home.

 

[Black Panther]

The Defending Premiers should have the right to open the season and play at home in my opinion.

2/5 leading in to the bye is probably where we will sit

Should host the season opener always

Not true. They last lost a round 1 game in 2001 against the Dogs.
I think it's about time that streak ended.

Completely disrespectful.

What will everyone's drunk off choice be for the opening game against the STORM?
I'll be having a Negroni.

Your drunk of choice must be pretty strong.My drink of choice will be a sneaky bourbon

Mine is the tears of Parra supporters mixed with a nip of Glenfiddich. Salty but somewhat satisfying.

In 1987 the year after Parra won the title PROZAC was released.
Quite fititng

Glenfarclas for me I'm starting the year in style (Fangs is on holiday next weekend).

Storm v Panthers: Munster ruled out; Luke in for Peachey

The Storm and Panthers renew one of the great modern day rivalries in Round 1 of the NRL Telstra Premiership.

I think the 4peat happens from the back of the pack. It will be a mammoth effort if we are minor premiers again.

We may finish as low as 5th, regular season, then start our title defence.

I still think we win it though - just not from the front of the pack.

Nice choice.

I dont mind adding some ice and tonic to a Negroni and having it in a tall glass.

(even better with a wedge of orange)

Yeah even allowing for Sorro and Luai the side named for the WCC on paper looks 5-8th.

A few slight changes lifts that up a few positions but MP looks out of reach.

That said I'd back us over anyone come finals time as even a 4th placed team
