Round 12: Dolphins vs Melbourne Storm

[Josh]

With the donkeys and bunnies losing its really compressed the top of the table. A win puts us level with Penrith on games played.

Win and it'll be 5 teams equal top but we'll be 5th on for and against.

True except broncs and bunnies played one more game.

 

[midlands hobo]

Either way still at the business end

Keep in mind that the Origin period won't affect us much. Kafusi, Gilbert and the Hammer are the only chances. The Hammer, only a small chance. Gilbert, on the bench at best.

Don't watch too much of the Bunnies but an extra game might not do the Broncos any favours. There are signs of them falling apart at the back end of the season again. They started the season scalding hot, now they are lukewarm.

 

[Blockade]

I didn't even realise that. Win this game and go equal top of the table.

Yep, either Reddy or Melb will join four other teams on 16 pts. It would be mind blowing if the Dolphins were equal first at almost the halfway stage of the season.

Win tonight, barring an injury crisis, I think we can be confident of a top 4 finish.

Yes, a win tonight could heighten their top 4 aspirations. A big ask this evening though and if Munster and Grant are firing, the Dolphins will get blown off the park. Melbourne have had an indifferent season thus far but they should be good enough tonight unfortunately.

Niko and/or Milf against Munster is the key. Keep him quiet and it's game on. Can match them in the forwards and without Papenhouzen, I don't think so much of their outside backs.

 

[midlands hobo]

And that is why he won't play origin. Too big a risk

 

[Josh]

Seriously..... Aggressive is one thing but that's just stupid!

 

[midlands hobo]

Great take

 

[Jetty]

Could hardly imagine a worse start.

 

[Josh]

Hopefully it's only one try while Kafusi is off. And Kafusi will miss next week as well. Hopefully only one week.

It's worse

With his record....

 

[Chris]

Kafusi is a good rugby league player but very stupid.
