The results seem inevitable, but I'm sensing an upset somewhere.

The results seem inevitable, but I'm sensing an upset somewhere.

On the one hand Penrith and Broncos do seem just a clear level (maybe more) above.

On the other hand just about every time everyone just looks ahead and declares a result so far out it almost never pans out.

Nervous few days ahead!

Two top sides relatively comfortably

I’ll say Penrith by 14, Brisbane by 10

Much like the AFL it seems a foregone conclusion that the top 2 sides get through to the big dance. However much like the AFL that GWS/Warriors story is getting more and more romantic and both of them would seem to have a little extra juice at the right time of year (and I hate saying it cause I’m a bronx man).

I’m still thinking Riff and Bronx but nervous for Saturday night.

 

[Angus Young]

NRL- Broncos and Penrith

AFL- Lions and maybe GWS can upset Collingwood

 

[Aucklander]

Klein is set to be dropped. Leaves Gee and Atkins. I really hope we don't get Atkins.

Storm 15
Panthers 12

Warriors 36
Broncos 34

The Kiss of Death tips

You'd have to say it's a Brisbane v Penrith GF.

I just don't see the away teams being strong enough against two powerhouses at home.

Maybe the Storm because they are the Storm under Bellamy are capable of pulling off an upset, but I don't give them much chance.
I don't give the Warriors any chance at Suncorp.

 

[Aucklander]

Gee is worse much rather Atkins

Maybe for you, but for us he's poop.

Better than the useless redhead Kris Keating lookalike who is abysmal

Get Sutton in the end anyway.

Hey he hates both teams lol

Let’s cut to the chase as long as Melbourne at least make Penrith earn it I’ll take it

I'm extremely happy with where we're at right now. RTS is back next year and no doubt a few others under what has turned out to be a master coaching appointment.

Brilliant season regardless of what happens. I’d rather Brisbane win purely as they are more likely to push Penrith only so much Penrith I can take

There's some heavy duty crap that going to come from the bunker on Saturday night

They are all tripe what’s the difference

I think those appointments are absolutely spot on. Klein has had an awful fortnight and deserves to miss.

Deserves to miss altogether.
Get someone else.

Just as long as it’s not the redhead he’s hopeless

Agree. I do think Klein is OK usually, despite the criticism he gets, but he has had a poor couple of games, and the selections are fine with me.
