    @mariner4life Great that Taumalolo won the Dally M. Shows he is far and away the best player in the competition, since the Dally M is traditionally skewered towards halfbacks.

    @Sneakdefreak he's had an incredible year. Was massive against the Broncos. His minutes got longer, and his impact was through the roof.

    Maybe not the best player in the comp, but certainly the most effective.

    Taumalolo, Tapau, Bromwich and Matulino will take some stopping for the kiwis. Add in the support cast of Proctor and Harris and it's some pack we are assembling.

      Taumalolo, Jordan Rapana and Joseph Tapine added to Kiwis training squad. Squad is named after the GF.

      Finally! Hope he makes the actual team and hope the Cowboys let Taumalolo play.

        Rapana is a certainty for the wing and if Vunivalu is eligible (which he probably is since he played schoolboy rugby here) I could see Jason Nightingale being the fullback (because every Kiwis team needs Nightingale in there somewhere).

          Grand Final day and a good (but not great) player is calling it a career after the final whistle.

            What time (NZT) does the GF kick off?
            Can't be bothered with any of the BS beforehand.

                7:28PM Sydney time. We started DST today so we're back to 2 hours' difference.

                NOTE: it was 7:18PM but they added Gould minutes.

                  I think it's a stupid time to kickoff on a Sunday. 5pm Local time is much better for a Sunday night.

                    27 degrees here today. Know what I'd prefer

                    Ennis straight into the grub work

                        I hope Melbourne win coz of the Kiwi connection.

                          Barba in off the base of the scrum.

                          I'm liking the work of the two Sharks wingers, Sosaia Feki and Valentine Holmes.

                          Maloney has exposed Tohu Harris twice

                              Ennis has a rubbish kicking game.

                                  Not surprising though, because the Sharks playmakers are rubbish. Maloney is damn good in broken play situations, but other than that the 6, 7 and 9 aren't much chop.

                                    Sharks playing much better. Very low error and missed tackle rates, plus they're just too big and too strong with ball in hand. It's like watching a club's senior team playing the U18s.

                                        Yeah but this can't carry on. Storm will need to get some Ball in the second half or they'll be buggered.

                                          Only one team playing. I hate these fucking grubs, but they're playing awesome and deserve this game so far. Amazing performance so far
