Who are England playing tomorrow? (My favourite nut bar is macadamia!)

Toulouse to lose in a tight game.

Magic games are played on Friday(2matches), Saturday(3matches) and Sunday(3 matches). Went this year but not planning to go in 2025.

Peter V'landys has commented on the chances of Penrith meeting Wigan in Brisbane. He said he likes innovation and anything that comes out of left field and he's very impressed that Nathan Cleary had thought of this. He added that if it can happen it will happen notwithstanding that there is a bit of logistical work to be done and a bit of planning to do but we will investigate it.

Thought the Winfield Cup era began in the early eighties and John Klein played seasons 74-77 at Penrith? Amco Cup perhaps which went from 74-79?

First saw him play in Hull in season 47/48 and today he remains my all time favourite RL player.

Sweet revenge though in 2024! Papenhuyzen nowhere near the player he was in 2020 while French gets better as the years roll by.

Lockwood flick pass to Neil Pringle in Balmain's win in the 1976 Amco Cup final. Was there for that match as I was to see him play in the 1974 GF at the SCC when Canterbury were beaten by the Roosters. My favourite match involving Brian was in 1980 when I came from Aus to take my mum for her only visit to Wembley to see her team Hull KR triumph against Hull FC. Thanks for the wonderful memories Brian. RIP.

I am tipping Penrith not to win the GF in 2025 but will hang fire for now on your Melbourne prediction...

The one cancelled in 2022 away against St Helens due to Covid could have made it 5!

Penrith have had 4 attempts at winning it Graham - 3 played in England and 1 in Aus.

The first game I ever saw Hull KR play was back in 1947 when I was taken by my mum and dad to watch them play Wigan at the old Craven Park. My mum was a Rovers fan and dad came because although a Hull FC fan he loved watching Wigan. The only incident I remember from the match was a decision to give a penalty for a voluntary tackle against Hull KR near their line at a critical stage of the match. Wigan kicked the penalty goal and went on to win 17-8.(kept the match programme for over 50 years). In memory of my dear old mum I would love to see a Robins win. To all attending I hope you enjoy the match whatever your team allegiance.

Believe Cleary is heading for shoulder surgery and had no intention of ever playing in this competition.

I thought it was Andrew Johns who offered the 30 odd cameras comment. Post match Thurston said there were about 24 cameras and that one view being shown extensively on social media, not seen on live TV, confirmed the No-Try decision.

Evidently, according to the commentary, there are 35 cameras that can assist the bunker in decision making. Agree it looked as if the the ball had reached the ground from the vision shown.

Agree wholeheartedly with you- really surprised at the Walters choice.

Not me as I commented on here after the Penrith v Wigan WCC match earlier this year that Wigan would be in it again in 2025 but Penrith would not!

Warrington will win a very competitive match. For me the absence of Minchella is a huge loss for the Robins.

Will Penrith avenge their last defeat in a GF by Melbourne in 2020 and make it 4 in a row? As a Penrith supporter for almost 25 years I reluctantly say no. Melbourne have been the better team this season and deserve to win. Will be at the game. Think the tries scored will be 5 and the points total 35. Best of luck to the other tipsters! Finally special thanks and appreciation to Gratham for the time spent running this competition.

Last replay I attended involving Warrington was back in 1954 when after a 4-4 draw with Halifax in the Wembley CC final they played at Odsal and attracted a crowd officially given as over 102,000 but speculated to have been many more than this.

Supported the Sharks for 30 years when I lived near Cronulla and switched to Penrith when I moved to the Blue Mountains in 2000, joined their Leagues Club and became a season ticket holder until Ieaving for the Mid North coast last year. My prediction for 2024 was that Penrith would not win the GF. Looking forward to the contest tonight with the Panthers strong favourites to reach the GF.

One of their early nicknames was "Chocolate Soldiers".

Dylan Edwards was my MOTM. Angus certainly was a worthy WL medal winner and overall is having a fantastic season.

As a Qld supporter I look forward with a fair bit of trepidation to the game tonight- the bookies odds have both sides almost equal. To give Qld a boost I predict a narrow NSW win as my tipping record is not that good! Forecast to be one of the best ever Game 3 deciders at Suncorp I certainly hope it lives up to that expectation.
