Most impressive and disappointing: Prelimanary final v North Queensland

I predicted the Eels v Panthers 8 wwwks ago and now I predict the above scoreline. Question I cannot  answer is which way?

Memories of the last time we made the Grand Final.

As we all know in 2009 we went on the crazy run and made the Grand Final after beating arch-rivals Canterbury-Bankstown in the preliminary final.  We already got revenge on them for 1998 in 2007 but
