Bernard Sutton, Chris Sutton and Gerard Sutton

Boys club

This is prob what Badger was talking about when he said if you weren't part of the boys club you were on the outter. We really need an independent review of our refereeing system and structure in place. I know the focus has been removing or improving the bunker but this needs to happen too. Will never forget how Sutton was applauded and treated like a king after 'Black Friday'. Flog of a bloke and an average ref. Wish he would fuck off for good, find another career.

Gerard Sutton ffs. On the positive side, probably the least worst Sutton, and probably a little bit better than Klein, but still, fmd. Is this the best they've got?

Wonder if the Storm will spread the ball from the start to try and catch them out, the Panthers will have to be up to speed straight away.
If they stay with them for the first ten they should be able to ride it out, set completion, apply pressure etc

Storm will win.
Panthers the last 2 weeks showed signs of cracking against teams not as good as the Storm.

Just dumped $50 on Kikau first try Panthers 1-12 for a potential 2K payout.

Looking at Vunivalu for first try into Smith Churchill aswell but I'll make that call once I see how the weather is tomorrow, kick over Mansour is a big advantage imo. Not sure how much I'll put on this one though.

If Storm come out of the blocks like last week, and can keep their defence in order, I can't see the panffers winning. Apparently going to be a wet and windy track, so not sure who that favours. I don't really care who wins, but I hope Munster schools Cleary a bit.

I’m tipping Penrith to defeat Melbourne. My only miss during the finals series was Canberra v Rooster. I was tipping with my heart. A month ago I thought Melbourne but as the days roll on, my confidence is growing. Penrith will win the grand final in a tight tussle.

How sad that I have virtually zero interest in the game. Both sides will slog it out........ Daddy's boy will develop a bigger ego and Cam will out do Sutton. Penrith are good but they flaunt it in a smart ass way and Cam wants to make it all about him........Plus I really don't want to listen to the commentators who will all talk up their agendas and carry on as if no other sides ever played the game. I suppose though that a positive is that Brandy has been given the night off......shame about some of the others......

What is it like in Sydney? We have had winds and rain up here on the Mid North Coast but at the moment it has stopped raining but is still pretty dreary....

Haha Sutton is such dip shit. I know first hand talking to a few players they all think he's shit. Perenara is the one they like the most.

It's like summer in England this weather. Dour game coming up, Storm can't be expansive in attack, I think it will suit the Panthers with Luai and Cleary who can play flat and straighten the attack.
I think this weather suits Melbourne, theyll be able to slow the game down and beat Penrith into submission.

I want the Storms to win so we don't have to hear much about it in Sydney but if them losing will mean that Cam Smith plays on next year than I'd rather Panthers win. That way it would definitely result in one of Brandon Smith or Harry Grant wanting out and we could possibly fill our biggest need.

Panthers win is good because Baz will have that under his belt AND a good chance Smith plays on to not bow out with a GF loss.
