The NRL Season of 2016

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.
-
Great struggle between Melbourne and Canberra. Raiders fullback Wrighton just got sinbinned. Maaatttee.
-
Storm score now 12-6. A brawl is gonna break out in this one and that grub BJ Leilua will probably be involved.
-
Raiders coming back 14-12 to Storm with 3 to go.
-
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 .

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.
-
@Bovidae yeah , I picked up on that ,
it will be all Sharks next week, they will be the darlings of the sydney led media , but that goes in the Storms favor, Bellamy thrives on that us against them spirit
-
I hope the Sharks lose for two reasons:
- Being drug cheats, and
- Paul Gallen.
