This guys an idiot. He states Gutherson can't pass yet he's the leading try assist provider in the comp for a fullback
Seriously? Lol
Been a long time where we have been totally written off by everyone. I admit I am not confident but we came 3rd . You have to be decent to finish 3rd. Could be anything this game.
The 96-10 combined score including 32-0 when we played finals last year is most troubling for me we they seem to have our Number. We haven't beaten Cameron Smith in 8 years .
Storm are Parra's bogey side. Every team has one and they are ours. It would be great to get one over on them.
As much as I hate being written off by commentators and pundits alike, it's not surprising, and you have to admit that we don't have history on our side.
We have never beaten the Storm in a semi or game that mattered so you can't blame them for not backing us here.
Also our form line isn't anything to get carried away with either. The Parra from rounds 3-8 would be given a chance but the recent Parra isn't and fair enough - IMO just take it on the chin and pray, cross your fingers and your toes and hope that we can finally get this monkey off our backs and beat these mother fuckers.
Warriors were no hope against them in 2011 finals either but beat them to got to the Grand Final
Fuck what they think. The boys can surprise any expert on their day.
I have zero confidence about tomorrow I'm expecting the worst.
That been said when you give up hope and your team surprise you with a win there is no better feeling
I believe we have the players to do it - is this belief shared by the players and coaching staff ?- THAT is what matters.
