NRL Round 26 2016 - Melbourne Storm v Cronulla Sutherland Sharks @ AAMI Park, Saturday 3 September 7:30pm

Dunno, I know more recently we should have beat them but come the last minute or minutes of te game Waqa scored a unbelievably soft try out wide, threw a dummy form dummy half & just strolled over to win the game for them.

Please don't talk about that game,
All night my kids were at me if the players would come over to our bay (away supporters bay) post game they had their shirts and autograph books ready to go , I said if we win I'd be surprised if they didn't cause normally fifs will come over and give a wave, then the game finished right on the buzzer on the other side of the field and the team went straight up the tunnel without a peep.
The only game we won I know was 23Rd of March can't recall year eldest birthday cause it's the only game I have ever missed between storm sharks.

I think that game might have been 2012, I just remember the Storm scoring 2 try's in the last 5 mins or something like that to steal the game

 

[vicsharkfan]

We have never won at aami, Bermuda Triangle

[Thresher]

What you thinking thresh precinct the go?
Reasonably decent day forecast, nice covered beer gardeny thing out the back?

Looks like they've got screens etc for sport. As good a place as any.

I could even be meeting you guys at the game yet. Have to sort out how fast I can get there after work.

 

[vicsharkfan]

They usally have Peroni on tap as well... Winning

Feels like the semi's are here already. Really hope we can get that week off in week 2.

Round 2, 2008 was our last win in Melbourne I believe? Golden point? I remember Rossy got 7 weeks..


I've booked my seat in the away bay, anyone else in there?

 

[Thresher]

Yeah I'll be in the away bay hitman

 

[vicsharkfan]

Got me the boss and the 2 lil bosses plus 4 mates.. Wife n kids planning a day in the city sounds fun (not) I'm golfing then getting trackside at the precinct.

 

[Gards]

yeah 2012 on a Monday night.

Yea was a Monday night, would have beaten the storm twice that season as we beat them at home
Not sure if we have ever beat them twice in a regular season actually

Raiders will lose to Tigers. Do we want to play Cows in Sydney or Raiders in Sydney? Win for the Cows and lose for the raiders.

To ensure we play the Raiders (which is far preferable to playing the Cows if we win the minor premiership) we are actually better off losing to the Storm.

There isn't a huge upside to beating the storm. It means we cop the Broncos or Cows in the first week, admittedly in Sydney, but we are still working our way into form making the Raiders are much nicer looking prospect IMO.

I'm not really Phased if we win or lose as long as we don't get Hammered and don't pick up any injuries.
I think it will be close and Golden point is a good chance. We really don't need a 90 minute game this week.

Will be interesting to see the team lists tomorrow.

Apparently Melbourne's Asofa - Solomona could be facing a suspension for our game, It just got interesting if he's out.

Is proctor playing this week? Not sure melbourne would risk him for this game, get him right for the finals?

Apparently he was close to playing against Bris, so I imagine he'll be in the mix again this week.

 

[Tank]

Canberra in Sydney first week of finals sounds more appealing than the cows tbh

But do we risk losing to the storm and hoping the tigers win? I wish canberra were playing first so we would know.
