Graham Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) 14/14 tipsters so far have gone with Storm to win this game. Storm though are currently on a blip in their form with their injuries to key players and uncharacteristic weaknesses in defence. Even so nobody has as yet tipped Manly for the win.

Graham Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Corey Parker is tipping Manly to win. He thinks now is the time for them to beat a struggling Storm whose forwards have not been providing a platform in the last two games.

Graham Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) Storm’s Indigenous jersey 2022 Coree Thorpe, a proud Yorta Yorta, Gunnai, Gunditjmara and Wurundjeri man, designed Melbourne’s Indigenous Round Jersey. He is also a proud supporter of the team, and holds a Leadership and Community Development role at Dardi Munwurro,. Thorpe used inspiration from the Rainbow Serpent. “I like to tell a story and Storm has an amazing story,” Coree explained. “Like the snake, each year changes. It’s the shedding of people, players but the journey continues. It’s stronger, it learns, it heals and changes,” he said. “You’ve got to understand where you’ve come from to know where you are going, and I think Storm do that very well.” Edited May 26 by Graham The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnM Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Just started watching with 10 mins to half time.

Graham Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Storm pressure again telling. This time Kenny Bromwich runs a good line to score a try that was coming after Manly had been struggling to defend.
