Lol You will always have shit stirrers like Premiers but lets concentrate on our team. Mind games for fans, mind games for payers, mind games for coaches but all that counts is the 80 minutes

Well, anyone can say they've been to 8 GFs too... 'they' also said, "Sorry to jinx you guys..." which clearly indicates what we already knew - they aren't a Storm fan at all, otherwise they would've said something like, "Sorry to jinx us...".

Panthers prop Moses Leota has been ruled out of tomorrow's preliminary final against the Melbourne Storm due to a calf injury.

His presence was sorely missed in the opening week of the post-season, as the Rabbitohs' forward pack dominated the Panthers in a boilover. Souths took advantage through the middle of the park.

Thais a huge loss for them, He is their best tackler and enforcer.

Last time South's were in a GF they won, obviously some kind of jinx/omen/hoodoo/otheruselessfactoid/nonsense.

Panthers gotta hope they start better than us and grind us down with their defence and an improved kicking game from Cleary. Feel like if we can get on top early they wont be able to hang on for long given how hard their previous two games were.

Imagine if you were both a Storm member and a member of either Demons or Bulldogs. What a stressful day ahead

The warmth will be an interesting factor. Will make for a fast track and allow the Fox and Paps and even Hughes the chance for long distance runs

If we can pressure Cleary and not give him time and space to put up those floating bombs, I think we account for the Panthers comfortably. If they are given the field position and we don’t put pressure from marker, and he puts those bombs up numerous times, it can cause our back three serious issues.

Especially if the Panthers are allowed to have their illegal wall running markers off the kick pressure.

I can’t believe the Panthers are paying $3.65, having lost only 3 games all season. I’ve loaded up at that price

Moses Leota being injured is a huge out for the Panthers. He is their most underrated player.
