Question to the older generation similar to myself, I know it was 97 grand final but to me I still consider 78 as our last grand final, I was a 8 year old, I really never followed super league even though the sharks were involved, I look back at super league as a sad era... In saying that if we won that I'd probably call it a premership
Super League was a split competition and was a very ugly period for the game. Winning a half competition is a waste of time.

This is the real thing! If Canberra win there is the potential for an open grand final and a game that will be long remembered.

The way Melbourne play is the biggest threat to NRL. The refs don't have downs syndrome, they can see them wrestling and laying on the tackle and getting off one at a time etc etc. They need to have the balls to penalise them tomorrow.

I'm happy for them to do it tommorrow then a massive cluster fk in the media all next week about it, after Ricky goes ballistic, some wrestling submissive moves added in as well.

Yeah I'd rather play the Raiders. I don't know if we can beat the Storm and besides how much better will the build up be if we play Canberra, you've got Ricky and Flanno going at each other, you've got Micky and the Sharkies fans who did the clap tonight on the Raiders fans **** list. There's genuine hatred between the two clubs at the moment.

Yeah, much rather play the raiders. Was surprised to hear that this year is Austins first year of finals. Also to hear they BJ is the most experienced final player in the team.

I remember speaking to Vidot on the town one night and I was asking him about us and he said out problem was theh out guys were to inexperienced and struggled once it came to finals time.

I am hoping the raiders can jag it tomorrow and fail to win the big one due to similar reasons

Couple of points .
IF Taga's Shoulder is able to wack at close to 100℅ , then dropping Beale for him wouldn't be a bad thing ( Beale hardly required last night )
Hope both Storm and Raiders smash each other and go to extra time . Both hookers cited for brawling .
Gotta feel sorry for Fargo , left both Sharks and Raiders to try and play in a grand final winning team ( sarcasm meter turned to full scale )
Wonderful feeling to be going to a Grand Final after ALL we've been through as a Club .
Hope Damian Irvine makes it back and gets to CELIBRATE with all of us if we reach the summit

Best game thread, my missus is ready to drop our second kid, hence why I wasn't down tonight.
Hope it comes now do I can make it to this.

Your second? SECOND? As in you've had one before?

Bro this is our first just facetime that ****.

Question to the older generation similar to myself, I know it was 97 grand final but to me I still consider 78 as our last grand final, I was a 8 year old, I really never followed super league even though the sharks were involved, I look back at super league as a sad era... In saying that if we won that I'd probably call it a premership

97 was first GF I was alive for so I'm a #****fan for not being born earlier but I said tonight to mates when they brought up '97 I don't count it as even making a GF. The less said about SL the better.

Strange thing ... If we won in '97 I'd claim it and spin SL as the elite competition, the one that really mattered.

I nearly drowned at the same beach as Harold as a dumb 20 year old..

I'll save that one for the SF trivia night. Thanks Chad.

I'm happy for them to do it tommorrow then a massive cluster fk in the media all next week about it, after Ricky goes ballistic, some wrestling submissive moves added in as well.

Ideally the Storm choke out the Raiders in a dour wrestling ****fest and Rick blows his lid and everyone hates on the Storm's smothering slow footy. Refs flinch and it all goes our way next Sunday.

Daniel Vidot. One of the few remaining great RL minds left after Massey's passing.

I'm with you, i don't count SL so to me 78 is our last GF.
