He did the walk with the other departing players so I'm sure that confirms it

Well I thought as much, but it hasn't been definitively stated anywhere that I've looked (zero tackle/fox, etc). Anyhoos, happy enough to see him go.

The club reckons there will be approximately 10,000 Storm fans "making the trip up". I'm not sure how that compares to grand finals in the past but it sounds like a lot. I remember being at games at AAMI Park in the past with less people than that so that'll be a pretty incredible turnout.

Great turnout considering the cost to get there

Just a heads up for those with Foxtel, the 1999 GF is on channel 502 at 6.30pm tonight. While i've loved seeing every one of our GF wins i think this one shades it as being my favorite. Geez those Stains fans were pissed right off :lol:

Hey guys, I have a couple of spare tickets (due to late withdrawals) in Storm supporter section 141 if anybody's still looking for decent tix.

How about Peter Badel bringing up Ethan Lowe's neck injury from last year against the Storm as a reason that this GF will have spice!?? What a braindead prick.
Does Suli mark up on Feldt? That will be a mouthwatering battle!

No. Suli is up against Winterstein. Antonio too hasn't been 100%

I wonder if we'll have a game plan of kick it high and often to Suli's wing. Winsterstein can't match Suli in the air when healthy let alone carrying an injury. Might be a cheap way to get points or force errors in our redzone.

If I was Green, I'd have Juzzy marking Sulu for that reason.
