So do I, but (apart from hating storm with a vengeance) I'd like to peg back the ladder leaders
Yeah i don't care about finishing first, top 4 is fine. No one remembers the minor premiers.

Brisbane are more a threat for top 4 imo. Storm will definitely be there.

2 stats I read during the pre season are stuck in my head if I recall them correctly and with 2/3ish through the season are starting to happen again.

1. Storm with the exception of their 1st title have won their premierships the following year after losing previous year. Haven't looked at the records to confirm

2. Since the final 8 system When Canberra have finished top 4 they have missed the 8 the following year.

Will never get sick of watching Broncos get flogged, watching the replay again now in HD so I can actually see third man's tears. Now to go for the double, (Sharks win, Broncos loss).

They won in 2012 yeah? I couldn't blame you if you've forgotten, that grand final was so utterly lacklustre.

Nz in my opinion r the worst. Newy r terrible but they have a terrible team. With the 1,6,7 and 9 from the nz international side in their team they have no excuse to lose as much as they do

I think they got close enough to keep
Us in 2nd. Johnson made the break late I thought they might get over.
