Get ready Storm fans, our boys are back where they belong after letting the Roosters and Canberra have their fun last year.
It’s time to remind those Sydneysiders that rugby league might be their game but us Melburnians have taught them how to play it for the last 15 years.
We’ll belt those plucky Panthers on Sunday night and bring the trophy back to the sporting capital of Australia… actually make that the sporting capital of the world because any title worth having in any sport is located in Melbourne.
Once we’re done gracing the NRL Grand Final with our presence and making it infinitely more interesting to everyone, we’ll bring the NRL title back to where it belongs!
Of course we’re favourites for this game, need we remind you that we’re the mighty Melbourne Storm?!
We’ve got the best team front to back, the best players and the best coach, everything about our side is better than those guys from Penrith!
The fact the line is only -2 is an insult to us, sure the Panthers finished on top of the ladder but there’s a reason they call it the “minor” Premiership, we only deal in major premierships here and we’ve won our share lately.
Face it, we’ve got Smith, Munster and Hughes running the show, if the Panthers want to stop our superstar wingers we’ll crush them through the middle.
If they want to try and stop our forwards, we’ve got Addo-Carr and Suliasi Vunivalu to burn them on the outside, oh and Ryan Papenhuyzen as well.
Face it, you can’t stop us!
Yeah look, this is only going to one man if we win on Sunday.
There’s no way that Smith doesn’t get the Clive Churchill Medal after our boys finish belting the living daylights out of Penrith.
He’ll give Cleary a lesson or two, put in a few pinpoint kicks and maybe even get a try for good measure, after all we’ll probably be in a position to share them around.
Then to top it all off, he’ll tell us all what we already know, he’s not going anywhere!
He might not have scored against the Raiders last week but we didn’t need him to.
The Foxx was saving himself for this game anyway.
We know he will be primed and ready for the game of his life and the Panthers won’t be able to contain him.
He didn’t play against the Panthers in Round 6 and it won’t take long to show the Panthers just how lucky they got back in June
As much as we’d love to see our boys win by 40 and turn the second half into a procession, anything will do.
If we score first and make them chase the game, they’ll fold faster than Superman on laundry day.
We’re smart enough to repel anything they throw at us and don’t need to turn this into a shootout.
Whatever we need to score to win, that’s what we’ll score and something in the 20’s looks like good value.
