Still can’t stand Ivan, such a smug bastard. Hard to dislike Nathan though as he always seems like a pretty decent and humble guy.
Battle of the spines will be great to watch. Also good to see Turuva playing amongst the games best wingers as well.
Enjoy the game - it’s a long off season without footy.

I'm sure your not alone - I have no time for him he is the equivalent of a cardboard cutout to me.
On the other hand I look forward to watching Bellamy every week - he is almost as entertaining as the game.

If the Storm base their game plan around targetting Cleary, they will lose.
Definitely the R edge with Tago, Cleary and To'o is weaker though. Martin loves to come in in the early phases and jam blokes and Queensland succeeded in creating overlaps in the first game with that reason as well.
I feel Melbourne's pack isn't aggressive enough. Lots of work horses, some with skill. But no one who will charge into the line and make a dent. Coates and Warbrick will really have to work hard to make those metres.
I feel Melbourne has more motivation but Penrith is too perfect at this level. Storm just need to stay in the grind and hope Penrith is the first to break after 70 minutes of arm wrestle.

I am still looking forward to a classic final and sitting on the fence as we have some ex players in the Storm and Panthers and players to come to us from the Pennies but if push comes to the shove I lean towards to Black Cats only to make history.

Does it even matter anymore? Win, lose or draw tomorrow, they will still go down as the greatest club of the modern era. Cleary’s legacy has already been written.

Cleary’s legacy is definitely in stone.
Not sure if they’re the greatest club of modern era. But they’re in the discussion for sure.
Broncos of 90’s
Canberra late 80’s/90’s
Parramatta early 80’s
Melbourne last 20 years.

Close game or not
my thoughts are Panthers by 16
Cleary has a gun game but our boy Luai MOM.

A lot of those squads were stacked to the eyebrows and likely over the cap. None have managed to do what Penrith has done.
Yes this^^^ though I think Melbourne are the greatest club of the modern era for being consistently successful. But you’re right Cleary and Penrith are already way too successful for us to keep wishing defeat on them. If I was a Penrith supporter and they lost today, I’d still be happy. What a position to be in!
I just think that the Penrith team is not the same as recent years gone.
And the same with Melbourne.
Yet, they're miles ahead of the rest.
Still, there's questions about the Chin - that shoulder ???
And I remember Penrith had to come from the dead last year.
I like the Storm spine.
Melbourne by 10.
But really, a penalty here, a sin bin there: who knows?
