This isn’t the same storm side at all. We would have to be off our game and then some for them to be within touching distance of our quality. We are far too classy 1-17 for them. They are classy in the 6, 7, 9, 16 and 17 jerseys. Against a team littered with class, confidence, strength, size, power, speed and skill that just isn’t enough to beat us. I think we are a lot closer to Penriths ability than people are thinking. We are being slept on hard and as long as we don’t let these ***** have a mental edge cause they have had the wood on us we will win and win strongly. They just simply have not had a good enough defence this season to cope with our attack and their outside backs and forward pack is barely top 8 quality (especially the former). They are gonna have to put in a special performance and when we have a heap of players that imo we’re more instrumental for a Qld series win than the likes of Munster and Grant this year, it’s safe to say we have big game players of our own. We are full strength and been so much better all year, it’s all mental and if you flip that with confidence (healthy not arrogance like they have demonstrated the second half of the year) than we will be more than fine.
Embrace it, we have the second chance up our sleeve which can afford us to be less tense about the situation which will definitely help. Not to mention 52k in Suncorp for a finals game will go off.
Good luck to the Storm I don’t hate them as much as you lot but at the end of the day we just simply have them covered in all areas and if we don’t win this with 52k home fans and a much better side than how the **** do we have any chance beating Penrith. Look it has the potential to derail us for sure but just as easily we can get to the end of this game and we can be a sniff away from a grand final confident as ever and have an amazing showdown against Penrith at the big showdown on the cards.
