Re: Grand Final - Storm v Panthers

Ngl, if we win, it will feel to me like we've "pinched" one, even though we won the minor premiership by two clear games. I just feel that several teams with more stacked rosters than ours have underperformed this year. But I won't complain. Take it and run. Given all that, Craig deserves ...

Re: Prelim Final

May be quite a few people down from Sydney for both this game and the AFL GF. May they only get the second leg of the double (Swans), at best.

Re: Super League thread

Les Catalans through 12-6. Saints won't be fivepeating. It's the end of the road for two bona fide legends of the game in the UK - Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook and James Roby.

Re: Official thread and signing news

Yeah, I don't think four flag hero Joel Selwood feels that not going b2b diminishes his achievements, even though 2008 was probably the one that got away. I will say that it's a lot more difficult for a non-NSW team to repeat. Canberra (technically a NSW team) and Brisbane are the only non-NSW based...

Re: 1st Semi Final vs Roosters @ AAMI Park

Eighth preliminary final in nine seasons. But yeah it does feel like something of an indictment on the competition that we’re there this year (after such an indifferent season).

Re: 1st Semi Final vs Roosters @ AAMI Park

Only a basic GA member, so used my AAN to get a seat in the alcohol free section - it was $20 (plus the usual fee).

If we win we'll be into our eighth preliminary final in nine seasons. If we lose it's straight sets like 2013, and a wasted season.

Re: Finals Week 1 vs Broncos - 2nd Qualifying Final - Suncorp Stadium

I think if we beat the Roosters, we’ll play the Panthers at Homebush (Accor). Could be wrong, though.

Re: Round 27 - Rest and Blood players

One thing that may not have been mentioned (because of our obsession with finals and grand finals in this part of the world): Only three teams have won the minor premiership between them in the past eleven seasons: Roosters: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018. Storm: 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021. Panthers: 2020, 2022...
