I'm a little concerned all the fans turning up to watch us train is not a good thing.

They obviously can't focus and train properly with 6k fans screaming and watching etc. It didn't look like tough gritty training we need before a GF.

This concerns me because in Melbourne they'll have relatively no one watching Storm training so they will be more focused and be able to get shit done without any distractions.

This isn't good.

We just came off a super taxing game in the heat with two days less to train, no need to play the grand final today. Recovery is probably more important than anything else until Friday. The guys know how to play, they need to be conditioned properly.

It's why the 7 days vs 9 days is important... it's not really about the rest to me, but how disruptive the week is.

Sunday game... rest Monday, maybe some video, training day Wednesday... and I think they were heading to Sydney today after the training... so where the hell are they going to train in Sydney now?

They'll need to find a Sydney club to let them use their facilities... field, video room, weights, physio, etc.

They should've ****ed off the Dally M's and the fan fest shouldn't be starting until Friday/Saturday.

Freddie backtracked his prediction 80 minutes later after the Cowboys game. I can see why but it's misleading suggesting he thought the Broncos would be in the Grand final all along. Freddie tipped the Panthers over the Broncos in the preliminary final only a week ago.

Yea fair enough. I was going off this (made pre round 27 iirc):

it’s grand final week, Santa.

No time for self doubt, it’s time to give it 100% and lift for one final elite performance.

Do us proud… Make your tip for the game.

Already done (although this was straight after the Penrith game - I might have been a bit excited):

I read somewhere that most teams don't train too hard during grand final week anyway. All about recovery and saving every bit of energy of the big game.

I would assume we're skipping the Dalley M's?

Not everyone... have seen Staggs and Payne already... so guessing the guys that are up for awards will be there tonight.

Fan fest starts tomorrow which is the intro of the players and maybe a presser?

Fan fest also on Friday... no idea what that includes

So then they only have a captains run on Saturday... probably at Accor?

Ok suddenly starting to feel a real nervous now. Everyone is tipping Mebourne too which is not helping.

Can you guys remind me why we're winning again?

Something something… never lost a GF against the storm. Reece Walsh on fire…. We deserve it more…. Ben Hunt redemption arc.

Because there is this guy on this forum with eternal optimism who says we will win by big margins. I know he is in there. Does 20-14 sound like a big score? Is that a brave prediction? What do you think?
 
Melbourne would be shitting themselves if they didn't believe their own publicity.
Their form in suspect

In round 23 we were all over them until the injuries.
Round 24 they just beat Penrith
25 they only just beat the hapless dogs
26 smashed by the chooks
27, we were all over them like a rash until hughes got hurt then beat them convincingly.
1st week of finals only just beat the hapless dogs.
Prelim, just beat the Sharks, Fair Dinkum, I reckon our local A grade would have beat the sharks the way they played that night. It was the worst prelim in living memory. Sharks draw was so soft all year.

Us corresponding games
Melb lost
Dolphins won
Knights won
Cowboys won
Melb won
Canberra won
Penrith won

Cant wait until Sunday night. This is set up perfectly for the Broncos. Goodbye 2015 and 2023

Yea Melbourne haven't been that convincing, and we're on a hot run. Game is ours for the taking.

The training is just a formality at this point. They don't actually need it. Enjoy the week get your rest and recovery done and watch some tape. Good nutrition and lots of sleep.
