Who'll win and what crowd are we expecting?

I think the Warriors can win and the crowd will be between 20k-25k.

Thoughts.

The Storm are spluttering a bit but I still think they'll beat the Warriors. By 8.

Crowd, nearer 20k but a good one for the last game away from their new home.

I cant see the Warriors winning this, the Storm simply dont lose 3 on the spin. They are struggling for points but they're also defending pretty well, same as the start of last year. If the Warriors had a full strength side playing then i might of fancied them but the likes of Price, Mannering, Vatuvei and Luck are all injured.
Inglis is a major doubt but he hasn't done much so far this season anyway. They've also got Brett White back and Hoffman come back last week, almost full strength. Storm by 16.

Warriors have a good record down there, that's the reason I think they can spring an upset.

Good too see the NRL allowing them to play a second ANZAC day game, just a pity it's not on ch9 as well.

I agree.

A double header would have been great. Still...

Dawn service, two games of footy (one on Nein, one on Fox).

Great day.

Should get a few extras at the game seeing as the MCG has something on before the main game, crowd could disappoint like it has before or it could blow us away as it has at times.

Christ knows what they will get now...

hahaha, they'll either get 2 men and a kiwi, or a massive crowd will turn up to give it to us NSW/QLD heathens.

lol

I am hoping for a bit of the latter....

You never know, I've actually seen AFL fans that hate RL saying how sad they feel for Storm fans, this could either crush the Storm completely, or it could actually have the opposite effect.

We'll have to wait and see.

What will Gallop do if the crowd is 1k and the Storm players decide to protest by standing around and having a chat?

My revised tip.

Crowd 1k, Warriors by 140.

This'll be interesting today.

I'll stick with my original prediction for the crowd anyway, not idea about the game tbh, they could smash the warriors or give up.

I would put my house on the Storm today...

As for the crowd, I agree it will be interesting.

Anything over 100 will show what Storm fans are made of, let's face it...

Most other sports fans would have crawled into a corner by now.

the strom will win today as their players will be vying for state of origin shirts and international shirts over the next 2 months, its after the state games that the storm players might stop putting in 100%

True.

This is where the zero points will affect them over a long season...

I find it hard to see how their motivation will remain so strong for the remainder of the season. But they are a very tough and tight knit group.

when i first heard the news i was in favour of penalising storm loads, but it looks like its down to 2-3 characters who have stitched evrybody up and actually feel sorry for the fans/ players..i have gone from not liking storm in previous seasons to hoping they win tonight lol

Well said Adelaide.

This is the sentiment I have been alluding to in Victoria.

I reckon about 65% of people probably feel the same way. In Victoria, I reckon it would be closer to 85%.

That support, if harnessed, will stand the club in good stead for the rest of it's long life. The key point is the conversion of the sentiment into fans.

The rumour is that it is Cameron Smith/Greg Inglis/ Cooper Cronk/Billy Slater are the players involved in the illegal payments. Those four could easily take up the whole cap and more between them. If they are found to have known about the cheating they may be suspended for a long time. Good if your a NSW fan.

There are also rumours a Martian rugby league team is going to buy out their contracts...

I give those the same credibility at this stage.

storm will win, the warriors are gonna get bashed

the storm wont back down because its anzac day and they are going to take out their anger on someone

bellyache wont let them lie down

backs to the wall > gallipoli etc

storm by plenty

What, the Ozzy Rules Umpires? They're going to be Ozzy Rules Umpires?

Why isn't inglis playing?

good crowd there
