Go the mighty Melbourne Storm.

If we play like we did in our other two finals we will have a good chance to win. If we come up off our line like we did v Manly we will force the Bulldogs into error like we did with the likes of G. Stewart and Taufua. We need a kick chase like we had against GI in Qualifying Final with a nice straight line. If we had a straight line in Mackay Barba never sets up that try for Morris.

The Storm have plenty of finals, Origin and test experience and the Bulldogs play a high risk high return game so hopefully under the pressure of a GF (and the pressure from our defence) the Bulldogs make some uncharacteristic mistakes.

Is it just me, or has this week dragged on and on and on!!!

FINALLY, it's game day!

GO STORM!!! So pumped! I know most people are excited at the prospect of a tight game and potential GF classic but I don't know if my heart can take it... Boys, please save my heart the stress and win in a blowout. Thanks.

Spent all morning & early afternoon on edge - Had those "someone walking on my grave" fingers of ice crawling up my back. That's gone now.
All I have now is that feeling I get just before a game.

I noticed that too. But I think it's just a training thing?? I'm pretty sure they wore them a few weeks ago at a training session too.

I think both teams will be wearing their home jerseys, as they don't clash (Storm Solid Purple, Bulldogs flaky white ;D )

Why the lima lima lima duck is Graham still on?

Should get a season, but they'll let him be picked for England and get time off his suspension unlike what happens to poor Steve Matai, different rules for different players

Suspend Ryles to, disgusting act by Graham
