FINALS

[Edward]

Battle of the best 2 spines in the competition. Those 4 players will decide tonight's GF. On paper and current form Storm should win the battle of the spine. I'm hoping for a 4 peat but after analysing the game doubt that will happen unless Edwards and more importantly Kenny have the game of their lives.

Penrith have a better pack. Especially when Melbourne is without NAS.

Disagree somewhat, since Kikau left they lack his line breaking ability on that edge, the packs always play a very big role in these games, Panthers hold a slight edge with the bookends but the early softening up exchanges will be a good guide.

Easy to see these two sides are the best in the comp.

Harry Grant draws first blood.

What a pick up from Edwards.

Looks like Penrith are going to win. Running a bit harder, playing a bit faster.

Too early to call

Panthers plan is to keep the game flowing, very few stoppages. Melbourne forwards especially the Fijian won't be able to play big minutes, advantage Panthers

Penrith look fitter.

Penrith look fitter.

The spine, Grant v Kenny may be the difference

 

[jodragon40]

Good try, this one is going down to the wire

Bad spill by the Storm gifts the Panthers the reply, tho has to be said, they almost blew it with some panic passing..

They do.

Storm kicking game lacking pressure on Edwards

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Pappy needs to get involved

 

[Eric]

Penrith are going to run away with it in the second half.

 

[jodragon40]

Best 2 teams in the comp going toe to toe it will come down to individual brilliance or an individual mistake

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Quick thinking by Luai to change the point of attack, caught the Storm middles napping for Cleary to put Martin into a yawning gap..

That's what fatigue will do creates opportunities on the other side of the ruck
