Will Melbourne go back to back?

[Jimmy Clark]

f**k I hope not. So sick of the cheating scumbags they are.

 

[MilkShark]

I voted no because I hate the storms.

 

[STORM.99/07]

I think Storm have got their best footy to come. Last year it was never in doubt.

 

[Stephen 'Stevo' Stevenson]

No chance.

 

[cain3y]

The Storm remind me of the stories you hear in the news from time to time of someone winning the 1st division lotto twice.

 

[LESStar58]

I'm remaining skeptical but if they keep Hughes at 7 then yes. That pass to Chambers yesterday was a peach!

 

[Whino]

Is possible.

 

[AJB1102]

Probably not, their motivation last season was off the chart. I can see a disciplined team knocking them out of the finals. But I hope they do!

Backing the Sharks then?

 

[2010Dragons]

They will, due in part to the rest of the "top teams" peaking far too early and generally being below par compared to previous years.

Roosters, Panthers, Dragons, Warriors and Souths can all turn in some absolutely terrible performances but the Storm just turn up and win without getting out of second gear.

Come finals time any team in the top 8 can win it but the winner will be from the top 4.
NO ! Storm are beatable.
The Dragons beat the Storm at Kogarah ROUND 9 - SUNDAY 6TH MAY
Dragons 34 beat Storm 14

If Wannabe Referee Cameron Smith is looking for his balls, We still have them at Jubilee Oval lost and found offices at the club. FYI- Jeremy Latimore is the caretaker at the lost and found office.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Of course they will. Can't give the AFL stans in Melbourne any reason to laugh at NRL.

 

[Pedge1971]

I'm remaining skeptical but if they keep Hughes at 7 then yes. That pass to Chambers yesterday was a peach!

A forward peach even.

Plenty of footy left in this year. Can see improvenent left in Saints, Souths, Roosters and Sharks as well as Storm. Panthers will improve when RCG is back.

I reckon the Broncos on a good day can beat anyone. Tightest comp in years so Storm are still up against it.

An injury to Smith and you can put the pen through them altogether.

 

[Life's Good]

With Smith not being penalised for that shot yesterday vs. Warriors I say he’s back to his refereeing best. If he can maintain that form then the Storm are a big chance.

 

[LESStar58]

A forward peach even.
.

And he got away with it which makes it even more of a peach!

 

[This Year?]

The Storm have a great side and can do it, but we have said that about just about all the other reigning premiers too.

Having said that, they are currently on top of the ladder and will most likely finish top 4 giving themselves the best chance of anyone for a long time.

 

[Apey]

I think they'll get knocked out in the Prelims.

 

[Parkway_Drive]

If Smith and Slater are fit at the business end, I can see them going back to back.

 

[footy75]

Melbourne finish top 2 which they will they are a massive chance.

Having said that they will be competing against better sides this year as opposed to last year where they were streaks ahead of other teams.

It's going to be a great finals series this year.

 

[simmo05]

If the tigers can beat them twice, surely the rest of you can start pulling your bloody weight!

 

[Munted]

I would take great satisfaction over my shit house panthers meeting the storm and knocking them out in the finals.
Now that would be like winning lotto.
One win in the last 13 years or so... What a f**king drought.

 

[Munted]

If the tigers can beat them twice, surely the rest of you can start pulling your bloody weight!

Rooted so hard for you merkins in those games, loved seeing storm go down twice!
