Is anyone here going to the Melbourne game?

I reckon we could be in with a really good show, given that Melb will be coming off the bye.

Couple of questions:

• how did Melb go coming off their bye this year; and
• what tactical difference will there be between the Melb home ground and Telstra/SFS (whereever we meet them) ?

The Storm won both their matches after the bye.

Round 6 (in Adelaide):

PANTHERS 18
STORM 40​

Round 18 (in Melbourne):

STORM 10
BRONCOS 4​

Thanks Wills,
How'd they go away, and at Telstra ?

Storm played at Telstra in round 9 against Souths. They won convincingly as expected but only led 8-6 at half time. Nothing to go on there.

Hombres if we can beat Melbourne then we would have to be very very good chances of taking out the grand final.

The Dogs and Broncos have arguably the two biggest and most brutal packs in the comp - you'd safely assume they will go out this week and bash the living sh*t out of each other, leaving them bruised, battered and ripe for the picking a week later.

The winner on Saturday night wins the comp.

Thats a big call . Don't write off either Canterbury or the Broncos yet , injuries will play a part . But first we have to beat the Storm and I think that we will find that a lot harder than Manly . Lets stay grounded .

Carn Storm!!

Dragons will choke again! :lol:

Carn Storm!!

Dragons will choke again! :lol:

If you really believed that you'd want us to win . Go back to sleep and have that nightmare in red and white you so fear . BTW Carn the Broncos dipsh#t .

 

[Willow]

Some people don't even know what 'choke' means.

Saints have come behind the ledger to be where they are. But hey, that doesn't stop the kiddies embarrassing themselves.

 

[petetheileet]

i think we have to be labelled with a consistent tag instead... 2 years in a row prelim finalists, previous year finished 5th and lost to defending premiers by one point...what team can match that in the previous 3 yrs?

 

[Collateral]

Browny should make the team watch a replay of the 1999 GF a couple of hours before kickoff!!! That will get them fired up!

 

[This Year?]

I really think the Dragons are a good chance of winning this one. Even though their record against the Storm is poor, Saints are playing great footy ATM and the game at Kogarah was a close one. I got my tix and am really looking forward to this Saturday. This game is gonna be a cracker!
