haha nice thinking but no.

It was pretty simple really, beaten by a better team on the day.....they wanted it more. Sudden death footy/good form coming into the finals can lift teams over the best

Steve Price was on SEN today,

And one question he was asked,

Can the Storm still go on and win it ?,

He answered, yes, when i was at the Bulldogs, we finished 2nd, lost our first game to 7th spot , and went on to win the comp,

Which also got me thinking back to 99, we lost our first final to St George at the graveyard, then went on to win it,

Not ideal, but its not over yet, it will be interesting to see how the players respond.
Go the Allblacks, Richmond , and the mighty Storm

Bugger all flights available and the ones that are, are about $350 one way!. I tried to look for one heading up on Saturday morning and coming back Sunday. I live closer to Avalon than Tulla and even the Jetstar flights leaving from there are pretty much booked out.

As long as Jason Robinson plays no further part in season 2008. 21 penalties in a final? WTF?!?

He has referreed 6 of our games in total, first two we won, last 4 we've lost.

I had booked to go up North on Sunday but was able to re-schedule to Friday by flying via Canberra.Looking forward to going to the game & see the boys hopefully redeem themselves.Got a shock when I saw the airfares.

Virgin Blue from Sydney were booked out on Saturday,  Jetstar only 2 flights less than $300 one way, and I booked on one of them!

Have 1st row seats in Bay 331 which are CAT4?? What the??? I asked for CAT2 and they were up in the rafters so declined them!

Credit card melting, but it will be worth it to see the boys rise above the adversity of yesterday! My STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORM will echo throughout Suncorp come Saturday night! :D

Cheers
Bunnies :D :D
Go the Mighty Melbourne Storm and the Mighty South Sydney Rabbitohs!!

Huh?
I booked a flight on Sat for $105 on Virgin (will never fly Shitstar again). The same flight is now selling seats at $129.

I was on Virgin Blue site at 1pm today when I got home from Melbourne, and the only seats available were $300 plus, this will make 5th & 6th flights for Jetstar in past 2 weeks for me. I have 10.55am flight Saturday! I do have Virgin Blue tix for World Cup in Melbourne!
Much prefer Virgin Blue but will not pay $500+ return to Melbourne or Sydney!

See you Saturday! :D

Cheers

Last two years we've had a 50% win ratio with him as ref. 100% at OP and 0% away (6 games).

Over the same period the Broncos have won 75% at home and 50% away (8 games).

In 2008 Hayne has reffed 26 NRL games, 18 were won by the home team and 8 by the away team.
