It depends if he can reign in that side of his game… I’m starting to doubt it more and more. It’s a shame because he is excellent.

Does that even go ahead? 4 weeks of quarantine for 1 final in potentially the second-biggest COVID hotspot on the planet.

More interesting is, who will Warner’s partner be in… I’m going to say Perth… When we play South Africa in about 6 weeks.

The Stars are floundering. Hurricanes going brilliantly and, to me, the only team which can break up the Sydney teams at the moment.

Are we headed for an all-Sydney Big Bash final?

G’day John, and thanks very much.

I’m not sure. I think Lyon is massively underrated in the limited overs game.

D/L does benefit teams batting second most of the time – of that there is no doubt. Especially in a limited overs game.

I’ll always either pronounce his name or write it out properly when talking or writing. The only time I use Tino is in a blog when it’s rushed.

Agree. He was excellent in Game 1…

I mean…

“Cameron Munster played a huge role in Game 1 and was set to again until he was tackled in the air, causing his head to thud into the ground with such force that he was simply never going to pass an HIA test.”

I thought that explained what caused it pretty decently, but anyway.

Tupou acts like an extra forward early in sets… He was unreal. Almost 160 metres in the first half.

I’ve read a little bit of doubt… So it was worth addressing. My goodness he was just outstanding last night.

It’s a bit of the old Queensland selection strategy. Might be average in club, but if they don’t let you down in Origin, keep picking ’em.

And Frizz has never let anyone doubt at this level.

If Finucane is there, the Storm clearly have the edge. I just doubt he’ll play if he hasn’t been named.

BA Sports! It’s been a while. Welcome back.

Agree regarding that. The travel is something teams have had to do all year… And the fact he said the Raiders have faced more challenges than any club this year is laughable. The Storm and Warriors have literally not been at home.

It’s interesting you mention Munster and Wighton… If it is as physical as I anticipate it’ll be, then you’re right. The running games of Wighton and Munster, particularly at the back-end of each half, could be what cracks this game wide open.

Yeah Albo, I have gone Melbourne – I think being in Brisbane gives them the edge. But I’m not saying that with a great deal of confidence.

Tino and B Smith have huge roles to play for mine this evening. Need to sort of keep the Storm ticking through that middle of the game when momentum can often be one-way traffic for long periods.

I’ve tipped Melbourne but on the fence. Genuinely.

I think the out of sight thing has something to do with it, but also, he gets dwarfed in coverage by Bateman… And I don’t think that is fair. Whitehead is a consistent performer for the Raiders.

And yeah, I think the only thing stopping Welch from starting will be Fotuaika. But even then, Welch has the inside running. He has been a mountain for Melbourne… That Round 9 performance – less than 100 metres and 7 missed tackles. It was average. But he has just been unreal since then.

The Roosters defence has normally been so good. I wouldn’t be too worried about it coming good.
