Sea Eagles vs Storm grand final, I can't lose.

Storm 33 Penrith 14.
Manly 13 South's 12.

Fantastic weekend of footy, regardless of the winners. These four have all earned their shot.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Oh and the final score in the GF will be .....

Losing team 20 - 21 Winning Team

2021 Try of the Year: Tom Trbojevic

It was the icing on the cake in the Sea Eagles' Round 25 win over the Cowboys, and the length-of-the-field team try finished by gun fullback Tom Trbojevic has been voted the Drinkwise Try of the Year for 2021

What a joke.

Panthers issued breach notice over trainer incident

The NRL has issued the Panthers a breach notice proposing the club be fined $25,000 and a trainer suspended from accessing the field of play and sideline for the remainder of the 2021 season.

Not much consolation now for us but good that they got done for it

Feigning injury is so much worse, plus trainers stopping play has been going on all year. If only Warriors coaches whinged a bit more.

 

[Aucklander]

Klein and Sutton to ref the two PF's.

Can't believe Klein has got another go. On a positive note, it should be his last game for the year.

Thinking Storm and Rabbits

 

[phantom13]

Feels like Riffs are absolutely cooked, if they manage to get themselves up to someone shock the storm this week that would have to be their grand final.

Storm by a bit would be my tip.

Souths v Manly is intriguing, it seems when Manly is on they are really on and should challenge anyone but when theyre off theyre a mile off. Probably rather see souths v storm as the granny but who knows.

 

[CURVE]

Not entirely convinced about Manly so I think Souths will win.
Melbourne will win comfortably.

Brad parker in doubt with a broken hand i hear. If he is out Moses Suli will be his replacement in the centres along with harper.

Not the ideal centre combination you want in a prelim final. Both iffy defenders

Tommy turbo still key though

Unfortunately, he’ll be the twit in the bunker.
He is for Saturday twilight at least.

I saw that. I just don't understand why this bloke seems so protected.

Storm fury over explosive Panthers allegations

'We don't like it'

[Exe Gesis]

Wow, penrith also got away with 15 interchanges vs parramatta.

Hearty discussion on what needs to happen

 

[Aucklander]

If Junior holds on to the ball with the try-line open the whinging doesn't happen.

 

[Santana]

That Storm squad is at full strength. No complaints.

 

[jshster]

2 sleeps to go (until the game I care about).... jitters starting. Gonna be two huge games. Part of me hopes they're close for the impartials... the other part of me just wants the Storm to get through!! Bring. It. On.

 

[royboy2]

Moses Leota ruled out now for the riff

 

[Aucklander]

Coverage in Melbourne is on Gem tonight, not that I'll be watching it.
