Yep, I'm just phoning it in now. I'm sure these 2 games will be good but I don't have any sense of personal connection to any of the 4 remaining teams. I lived in Canberra for a few years but mainly before the Raiders existed. I have no connection with Cronulla. I spent 2 weeks in Townsville once but the Cows didn't exist then. I also lived in Melbourne long before the Storm existed.

 

I don't even have a gambling interest in these games because I don't have a clue who'll win.

This is it! There's no more second chance. The winner goes to the Grand Final.

 

Tonight, the winner will be the best team on the park, unless the refs try to surpass the farcical Broncos/Titans match. I don't think they will. Although I'll be sure to as one-eyed as possible during the game.

 

I'm already a wreck, sweaty palms and all. I can't take it. I need a drink.

 

Hopefully, the Sharks will prevail.

Win or lose, the last thing I want is a repeat of the 2008 & 2015 capitulations. They still sting.

 

See you all once the game is over.

Good morning all, to misquote Hot Chocolate "it started with a song whoever thought it would come to this"

 

looking forward to updates will probably miss most of first half due to work but will be glued here for the second half.

 

what is the crowd like at Allianz

 

♪ UP UP CRONULLA ♫

Chechen needs glasses that was forward even Ch9 comms acknowledge it!

Yes, the Fox Sports crew agreed. Out of the hands it looked OK but because the passer and catcher were on opposite sides of the 10m line it looked bad.

Fantastic first half from a Sharks point of view. A lot still to do though.

 

Textbook forward pass on that 2nd try though. But since 90% of the time everyone (refs and TV pundits) thinks it's fine, I suppose it's fine again this time. It'll give JT something to whine about if the Cows go down.

 

Fingers crossed.

Missed the first half.

Have tuned in for the second half.

Thanks for the update.

My friend George Fairclough (Bourbon Rat on here)who sadly died last year was born and bred in Wigan but his family, mum, dad and brothers emigrated when George was a teenager.

George lived in Melbourne and was a lifelong Wigan fan.

When Storm was born he supported by being an ever present fan.

If Storm were to win this weekend and make the final it would be a wonderful tribute to George and his family.

George did live in QLD for a time.
