What a grand final should be all about, the stakes are huge

Bars are absolutely packed here in Bali. NRLW GF is a cracker. Unfortunately we are off to Singapore tonight so have to leave before the main event starts

If it’s half as good as last year’s GF then I will be happy. Fingers crossed for a tight one! I think that will all depend on how badly Cleary is impaired, if he struggles, then Storm fairly comfortably for mine.

I’ll take a forty point win, thanks.

I’m nervous.

Only because I feel this group and this coach of ours deserves another Premiership to its name for all the consistently brilliant performances it puts together season in season out. NAS suspension and Harry Grant allegedly carrying a calf complaint has me on edge. Come on Storm. Please :pray::crossed_fingers:

I think Penrith will win with Big Nelson out, but I am not giving up on Storm. They have earned faith over many years…

As a Roosters man, I hope the Storm win as I hate Penriff with a passion and losing our last game to the premiership winner makes us not being there more palatable.

Unfortunately I also think that Penrith are a once in a generation team and will most likely be too strong for the Storm. They also seem to be refereed differently to every other team in the comp.

I hope it is a closer game than the AFL GF.

Flight delayed by an hour so I’ll stay to halftime now.
Think the Storm win by 12, they are a class outfit

Night spectacle so much better.

Kid Laroi vocals are impossibly sleek. Live autotune dialled up to 11 or it’s like 90% pre-record that we’re hearing.

Another great example of why the AFL should (and let’s face it, will) go to a day Grand Final imminently.

Entertainment is 10x better in the evening/night hours.

The likes of Katy Perry performing at 2pm in bright sunshine has Frankston Festival entertainment vibes.

There was an outcry when there was the first night ‘final’ (Essendon vs Carlton) in 1993.

Everyone, including those poor families, got over it pretty quick.

I think the GF should also be moved to Marvel Stadium.

Gonna miss Gus’s cutting edge analysis tonight

I think the AFL won the pre-game entertainment. Katy Parry v some young ventriloquist.

WOW. Dark up there in Sydney. I’m in Hobart and its still daylight here.

Ah the Chin. Game will literally be in his hands tonight. If he steps up, Storm lose. If he has an average game, Melbourne are a chance but probably lose and if he goes missing Storm take the game.

How does a quintessentially English game be packaged as so Aussie vs the AFL who are trying to be as Un-Australian as possible.
