Both Storm and Panthers win 20+, even with the ref's trying to keep the game "interesting".

I think the roosters storm game will be a bit closer, I'm gonna go with storm by 8

Maybe, but I want both ultimate pretenders smashed and humbled.

Rorters get smashed & Penrith win..

Cant wait for 2000 shark fans to cry at full time

[Rod67]

I said at the beginning of the year that the only threat to the Panthers making it 4 premierships in a row are the Rorters. Now they have injuries and play minor premiers in the Storm so it won’t be easy but NO team gets favoured more, with the referees than the Rorters do. On form Storm should win but the Rorters cheated again by taking out 2 Manly players early last week, with no repercussions. JWH attacking the head of a defensive player while in possession, and he has form, in that area, but nothing to see here. Expect more of the same against the Storm.

Two "extinct" first grade clubs are in the NSW Cup GF.

Good luck to Khaled Rajab.

 

[Rod67]

Sharks have well and truly overachieved this season. That penalty try should not have been awarded last week. Penalty yes, 10 in the bin yes, but no way can they be 100% confident that he would’ve got there before Deardon. Changed the whole game.

This weekend they’re in for a mauling, scoreboard will get very ugly if the Panthers put in but they may just do enough to get the win as they won’t what to cook themselves for Grand Final day.

Even Todd Payten said he's glad a penalty try was given over a 10 min sin bin.

Billy magoulias must be one of most ever capped NSW Cup players

Even Todd Payten said he's glad a penalty try was given over a 10 min sin bin.

He said at the press conference he wasn't happy with the decision before saying you can't argue with it and then added he much prefer that to happen than having someone in the bin as the game is to fast at this level.

Both commentators of the game were filthy that was given a penalty try and anyone with 20/20 vision could see that Deardon was closer to the ball than Trindall was, and NO way would've he have scored had Trindall not been tackled without the ball. They have to be 100% certain and that certainly wasn't the case in this situation.

The call helped the Cowboys not the Sharks though.

The call helped the Cowboys not the Sharks though.

Don't know how they were 6 points down from that decision and who's to say Cowboys hold out the Sharks from the penalty.

Payten was careful in what he said, didn't want a 10K fine by countering his initial comment with his later comments on the incident.
