Taumalolo, Jordan Rapana and Joseph Tapine added to Kiwis training squad. Squad is named after the GF.
Finally! Hope he makes the actual team and hope the Cowboys let Taumalolo play.

[Sneakdefreak]

Rapana is a certainty for the wing and if Vunivalu is eligible (which he probably is since he played schoolboy rugby here) I could see Jason Nightingale being the fullback (because every Kiwis team needs Nightingale in there somewhere).

[Sneakdefreak]

Grand Final day and a good (but not great) player is calling it a career after the final whistle.

[Gunner]

What time (NZT) does the GF kick off?
Can't be bothered with any of the BS beforehand.

[taniwharugby]

isnt it like 9 or 9.30?

Grand Finals when they were on a late Sunday arvo were much better!

[NTA]

7:28PM Sydney time. We started DST today so we're back to 2 hours' difference.

NOTE: it was 7:18PM but they added Gould minutes.

[Damo]

I think it's a stupid time to kickoff on a Sunday. 5pm Local time is much better for a Sunday night.

27 degrees here today. Know what I'd prefer

Ennis straight into the grub work

Also noting: public holiday here tomorrow (not all States)

[Gunner]

I hope Melbourne win coz of the Kiwi connection.

And coz Ennis and Gallen. Fuck them.

[ACT Crusader]

Barba in off the base of the scrum.

I'm liking the work of the two Sharks wingers, Sosaia Feki and Valentine Holmes.

Maloney has exposed Tohu Harris twice

[NTA]

Grubs versus cheats... Cheats versus grubs... Jeez it's a hard one

[ACT Crusader]

Ennis has a rubbish kicking game.

[Damo]

Storm doing bloody well to only be 8 behind. They look fúcked.

Not surprising though, because the Sharks playmakers are rubbish. Maloney is damn good in broken play situations, but other than that the 6, 7 and 9 aren't much chop.

[Cantab79]

Sharks playing much better. Very low error and missed tackle rates, plus they're just too big and too strong with ball in hand. It's like watching a club's senior team playing the U18s.

I didn't know that. Makes more sense.

Yeah but this can't carry on. Storm will need to get some Ball in the second half or they'll be buggered.

[mariner4life]

Only one team playing. I hate these fucking grubs, but they're playing awesome and deserve this game so far. Amazing performance so far

[Sneakdefreak]

Storm looked tired the way they're bunched. Sharks are just waiting for them.
