Those were the days...
 
Still struggling with this nasty chest infection, so thought I'd get a head-start and put the OP together. The teams as they stand are a place-holder from last week. We still need confirmation on who will replace Nelson Asofa-Solomona but early reports indicate it will either be Joe Chan or Lazarus Vaalepu.

Meanwhile Scott Sorensen remains a chance of returning for the Panthers. That will likely see Garner drop to the bench with Eisenhuth making way.

The match officials have been confirmed. Ashley Klein has been given the whistle with Grant Atkins in charge of the bunker.
 
Teams are in.

Not too many changes from the placeholders.

No changes 1-17 for the Panthers. The only change is Toelau and Sorensen swapping jerseys on the reserves.

The mail was correct and Vaalepu comes in for NAS. Moeroa is the new addition in the reserves at #21.
 
Gould has been "overlooked" by Nine for the GF commentary duties, instead he will be a part of the State Championship commentary team

About time.

His bias for the Panthers was over the top.


During the 2020 grand final, he was called out after he suggested the Panthers were “on top” against the Storm despite trailing 22-0 in the first half
 
FMD.
Tune into ch9 and they’ve got dummy bill, johns, JT with that stupid laugh at everything, Thaiday who thinks he’s funny, slater who is really starting to be a pain in the arse since he’s got more involved in commentary.
Think I’ll bail til after WTC😩
 
Who wants to get fucked up?

Drinking game:

Take a drink when:

* A player earns a penalty or 6-again by trying to walk off the mark and push the markers out of the way, who resist, and are pinged for slowing down the ruck.

* The Panthers' defensive line can somehow run 15 metres faster than the Storm hooker can pass the ball 5 metres.

* Storm players throw their arms up in despair when the Panthers do something in the ruck the Storm have done every tackle already.

* Luai refuses to take on the line unless there is a chance he can get through, and will rather leap around like a startled house cat than take a tackle.

* A linebreak or try is created because someone tunnel-balls it before they even properly stand up.

* The Storm defenders take dives in the line and get at least one try denied for obstruction.
 
* Luai refuses to take on the line unless there is a chance he can get through, and will rather leap around like a startled house cat than take a tackle.

Throw that in with his complimentary leap in over the top in celebration when To'o scores a try and you'll be smashed by half time

Dhsiwjgdn hejdikwidjdke pissed already.
 
Penrith worked very hard for that try. Storm have blown their advantage with that kick out on the full. It could change the game
