Finals week 1 vs Sharks

[Bullucked]

Good training sess today love this team

Did it look like everyone got through the full session? How was pap moving?

Yep everyone got though fine paps looked good

Only Sua Chris and Maz were in the rehab group and Young left early

Bit of concern with one of our forward wearing the red no contact shirt but he did the whole session and did extras so think maybe he does less in the week and more on the weekend if you know what I mean

Tepai wearing the helmet at training I thought a little odd.

[sallymay]

Nuh he always wears his helmet

Practice how you play.

Best ref in the game is Peter Gough and he's not even in the bunker this weekend - ridiculous

Is this sarcastic?

No, he's miles ahead of Klown, Gee, Sutton, Smith, Atkins

Gough is not good - blows the pee out of the whistle.

Gee and Sutton are a mile ahead of the rest

Not sure I follow re. doing more on weekend, but thanks for the update sal, good to hear all the boys look ready to go....

I think most Storm fans are feeling that. It’s been a relatively quiet build up to this one.

[moffla]

I am always more nervous for week 1 of finals than I am any other final. Including GF.

It feels so imperative to win. Obviously we could still go the long way, but a win tomorrow sets us up beautifully. Don't care how we do it, just want to get it done.

Bradley, Chan and Lisati drop out

[Stormhunter]

Ramien out for the Sharks

Don’t worry about it all the boys are playing

Ramien out for the Sharks

Big loss, I guess atkinson fills in, might be speedy enough to trouble jack if not careful but on the other hand will find Jack hard to contain on the charge. Howarth just become crucial to our success in this one.

F me... penny are looking good here, prob back into premiership favoritism

[yanjarra]

Going to be a big decision for fitzgibbon, they might go back to talakai to handle howarth size, Munster and pappy around the back might expose him though

[Mattpoet]

Roosters tried a second rower there against us and we successfully played through Howarth all night

[Scooter]

Good morning all. Game day. Absolutely chucking it down at the moment, but the forecast is for the rain to clear by 3pm. Fingers crossed.

[Papenhuyzen23]

Not sure who a wet track favours, probably them. I do think Ramien out is a big one, Talakai is slow and lazy and we should be able to exploit him out there.

I’m reasonably confident but a loss isn’t the end of the world, I’m not sure a week off is always the best medicine this time of year so I am quite relaxed knowing we have that second chance and the result isn’t fatal.
