Well, with GI back and the Roosters seemingly not even playing for pride and the wonderful Fitzy, I see another pasting unfortunately. I would seriously enjoy being proven wrong on this but nothing I've seen recently would suggest I'm going to be eating humble pie.

[Guest]

I agree TLR

There is no pride in their own performance let alone the jersey or Fitzy. I hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling Melbourne will turn it on.

Score prediction. 46 - 8

[Guest]

Melbourne by 60

[Guest]

why do we always get maxwell the prick. he hates us!!!

[elo]

If we keep the Storm under 40 it will be a miracle.

[Guest]

Sa definitely out, Jones at centre, Koops on bench

[Guest]

You sure? Proof?

[Guest]

2GB, heard it a couple hours ago while driving

[Guest]

Good we might score 2 trys now instead of one.

[Guest]

Will be better if Jones goes to 5/8, Mini on Wing and SKD in centres
or Jones 5/8, Mini FB, Pez Centres
Either Way I want Jones at 5/8

[Guest]

scoreline may not be that bad due to the rain in melbourne

[elo]

Must be bloody wet for our Toyota Cup kids to keep the opposition to only 16 and lose by just 2.

[Guest]

there was flood and storm warnings earlier, not sure if there's much rain still around

[Guest]
