    I'm in no way a fan of the Sharks and all those grubs, but I'm not disappointed to see the Cowboys not there again.

    Here's hoping the Raiders can do the business tomorrow.

      Words can not express how hard i will be cheering for the winner of tomorrow's prelim in the GF next week.

      Even a Ricky Stuart win is better than a Gallen/Ennis/Fifita/Maloney/Flanagan win

            Im going to the game tonight ,

            Not confident , alot of league fans may not realize this , but the Raiders have probably taken the mantle off the Warriors as the Storms bogey side ,

            Not only did they win the only game this year , they have won the last 3 out of 4 trips to AAMI park.

            If the Raiders get off to a fast start Storm could be in trouble having to play catch up, but if the scores are close , Ill back the Storm to close it out.

              I'm no fan of Stuart and I like watching teams from Canberra lose, but I like the football they've been playing.

                  Storm score now 12-6. A brawl is gonna break out in this one and that grub BJ Leilua will probably be involved.

                      Storm win. Can't believe I'm saying this but I'm happy they won cause the Raiders are even bigger grubs. And a few of the Raiders appear to be on roids. Plus they have Ricky Stuart coaching them. Good job fluffybunnys.

                        Sinbinned?
                        In a loigue semi final?

                        He must have farted near the ref?
                        Cant think of any other reason they'd even consider binning someone in regular season game, let alone the semi final of the toughest league on the planet.

                            All the hype through the week will be around the Sharks , never won a flag , long suffering supporters etc etc

                            Storm will be allowed to fly under the radar a bit more and go about their business as usual .

                            How the Sharks deal and handle that pressure and expectation could go along way in deciding it .

                              It's a good point. I could have maybe watched the Raiders go around against the Sharks. But now? Fuck that

                                They're all book cookers, it just depends on whether they get caught.

                                  Such is my waning interest I have for the first time in forever not watched a single minute of the finals.

                                  I will probs watch next week but could not give a shit who wins.

                                    It was a dirty game , surprised that was the only sinbinning tbh. Wrighton pulled down Koroibate to slow down the Storm who were about to score a try. I thought their hooker would go too when he did the same.

                                      If available the Kiwis wings for 4N should be Vunivalu and Rapana. Both were beasts in that game.

                                        @Sneakdefreak Vunivalu probably shouldn't be eligible, but better his time spent in NZ makes him eligible for us than him wind up playing for Oz.

                                        Rapana definitely, unless his playing for the Cooks rules him out. He should have been in the ANZAC test so I'm wondering it it does?

                                          @Razbra That was the first full NRL game I've watched in years. Even though I'm a Raiders fan it is hard to warm to that lot. They're not a patch on the team from the 1990s.

                                          Anyone else get the impression that the Fox comms were willing the Raiders to win? Canberra were more cynical at slowing down the play-the-ball than Melbourne but only one team was criticised for it.

                                          I'm cheering for the Storm and the KIwi boys. I want Gallen to lose again to a Smith-led team.
