Starting to really look forward to this.

i have to say I'm feeling a lot more confident than I did a few weeks ago. Even though we were top of the table I was wondering where the extra gear we would need for the finals was. Still not ultra impressed, but we have shown a bit more in the last few games (apart from that aberration that was the second half against Canberra).
Not quite convinced about either halfback option, but Paps is a must in the team.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

Raiders don't really concern me. Good team and will be confident of beating us. But this is all about us and how we perform.

I can see why Canberra threw the game last week to avoid the Roosters. How the duck can they be beaten

The Roosters have lost almost twice as many games as the Storm this year (7 to 4), including as most recently as last week. Obviously it can be done.

So Ricky Stuart is starting Papali’i on the bench. Obviously likes his chances up against our bench players.

$75??!! It’s not even a sell out. Why would you pay $75?

Didn’t take Vunivalu long to cost us a try

Tui's first up contact is not great and remove Croft and we have the same defensive issues. Do we still blame Croft?

Not just Vunivalu. It's that whole right side defence.

Papenhuezen looks dangerous- we just need them to miss a tackle or two and he may carve them up
