Lockyer is my favorite player in or out of a Storm jersey.

I'm glad I'll get to watch him go around one more time. Champion bloke on and off the field and has my nomination for GOAT.

I reckon the crowd will go close to 20K tomorrow night. That'd be nice.

Not sure where he heard it but a mate of mine told me before that he`d heard that the game is sold out. I can`t find anything anywhere to confirm it but there is a small article on the Storm site that mentions that they have Level 3 West opened so I think the crowd might be over 20K :-D

There's an article on NRL.com that says "A sell-out crowd of around 30,000 is expected to watch Cronk's table-topping Storm host fourth-placed Brisbane". I'd love to see it happen but I doubt it will. I think over 20,000 is realistic and anything beyond that is a bonus. 30,000 would be amazing, though.

Also, the Dragons game is on Friday night as well. Hopefully whatever we get tomorrow night is beaten for the Dragons.

AFAIK ? That round is still "To Be Confirmed"
I'd rather a Saturday,since I sail for Tassie Friday the 19th & the Spirit has no WiFi link in bass Strait.
Sunday I'm in the Western Wilderness :?

Nacho if he was your best friend he would understand you having to go to this game. Why couldn`t you take him to the game and have a few drinks there? I was supposed to go to a works dinner tonight but I told them that I have to listen to the game on the computer(not on tv in adelaide) so I wouldn`t be going.They understood.

so that broncos try is a little confusing to me and the commentators!! and sika needs to pick his game up or have a seat on the bench! cooper is playing pretty flat tonight and trying to torp the ball instead a drop punt :-\

but good first half effort in defence boys!

They started well, just a couple of turnovers seemed to shift the momentum to the Broncs... but its not like they playing bad..
