[Mark from Brisbane]

I’m going against the “ pick all home games” tonight I reckon the Donkeys are stronger than 2018 and the Drizzle are going to miss Studs Up and Scam should have retired too.

Donkeys in a close one ( about 8 points).

 

[Sue]

I’m on already Mark. Huge money for Brisbane. Been backed right in

Not being a punter I wasn’t aware of that, just a gut feel for me.

I mean, for those watching...who on earth do you cheer for?

Not Scumos

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Not Scumos

Neither , but purely for my footy tipping I hope the Donkeys win.

 

[DESCHERRYEVANS]

Broncos will win

 

[Cliffymagic]

I reakon the storm have better backs. And while the broncos forwards are a bunch of young beasts , i thk the storm forwards can hold em. Being at aami park also helps my pick .storm.

Depends on how fired up Seibold has the Broncos forwards,but for me I think they lack enough continual punch through the middle.Glenn(past it,but maybe Seibold has given him new life?) and Sua are wide runners and so is Gillett,and Fifita/Staggs off the bench are the same.Ofahengaue/Lodge and Pangai/Flegler are going to have to have massive games for them to win.My gut feeling is the Storm will swarm their forwards and strangle/frustrate the life out of the Broncos,if the refs crack down on the Storm the Broncos will stay in it(most likely scenario).Just my opinion...

Gillett was missing all last season through injury. He is/was a gun, so if he is near his best this season then the Donkeys will be much harder to beat than in 2018.

Good player,but not a lock/middle man,he will hit hard(try to,but he hits harder coming at an angle like Graham) but he plays best running wide,he tends to get hammered when running it up in the middle regularly.For me they would be better with Fensom in the middle if Pangai is not fully ready,and if he is fully ready then why is he playing off the bench?They will be fired up but I have doubts they will be able to sustain it against the storm forwards without the refs....but I prefer them to win than the scum.

You means the “vibe” don’t you.

 

[HoldenV8]

I'll watch the other games that are on FTA telly, but I'm really only interested in what happens on Saturday night at Leichhardt.

I just want the 15 losers to kill each other

Go Manly

 

[eaglebuzz]

I think the Broncos' spine is below par. Given that the Storm are at home I'm tipping them to win by 10.

 

[fLIP]

Storm will win.

Ill be watching extreme-ironing on YouTube.

 

[47MVEagle]

The "SLATER STAND" LOL

 

[HappilyManly]

Great - Lodge just took Munsters knees out 😀

Crowd is sparse for such a big game

 

[eaglebuzz]

Wow Lodge is a real idiot... turned a reasonably strong opening set in defence in to 2 sets defending their line.
