The Finals

I can see why the Storm win so many games. As long as the ref doesn't penalise the grapple, the opposition doesn't have a chance. They do have some good players though.

14 all now. If the Warriors can cut out giving away stupid penalties they'll give it a real shake.

I think Warriors will pull off a first tonight and be the first team to beat the minor premiers in round one of the finals (kicking Radiers out). Brisbane will then beat Melbourne at SunCorp in week 2, Melbourne being the first Minor Premiers to not make it into week 3. Warriors will then account for the Roosters. Week 3 will see Manly stop the Warriors run of form, and they will meet a rampaging Brizy in the GF after they account for a cluless sharks team. Brizy will then give Wayne the send off he diserves with another premiership form almost nothing.


And i picked it, Warriors will account for the Roosters next week in NZ and the number 8 team may outlast the minor premiers and the 4th ranked team. Just goes to show that the current system relay does allow lower ranked teams a real chance. It would be possible to see a 5th v 8th GF and that would be a show. ATM that is my prefered GF match up.

Happy to hear that.

And now with the Storm loss, Manly are officially premiership favourites. Even better when they eventually fail.

Great call on todays game caylo but my gut feeling is that Melbourne will come out next week and give Brisbane a thorough belting and then give the Sharks a hammering the week after ......hopefully I'll be wrong .........

IMO (as bad as this sound) the Brizy v Melbourne game will produce the winner of the GF. Manly and Cronulla, while they are very good teams, I think don't have the big game players like Lockyer, Hodges and Hunt that brizy have or Smith, Inglus and Slater that melbourne have.

Stewart has probably been close to the bets fullback all year, and Orford has been great, but i think they rely to much on that combination and dont have the variation that Melbourne or Brizzy have. The sharks don't have the attacking prowess to win it IMO
