I picked an N.R.L. side quite a few years ago, one that mimicked my own sorry outfit.

However as my "real" team continues to bump along, my Aussie team is eighty minutes from winning the G.F.

On the face of it I can only see one winner, but I'm still a little giddy!

Up, up Cronulla.

Around 30 mins until kick off (it always starts late), lets hope for a close finish like yesterday and last season

Not got Premier Sports. Anyone know where I can watch it? Legally of Course.

Bet365.com, as it says in the OP.

Good start to the game. Being played at an incredible pace and hardly any stoppages but completion rates are about 95%.

Cheers Mate. Should have read the OP.

Man Melbourne just can't get anything going tonight.

they have now! sharks should be well ahead mind

sharks running out of players. storm should really go on to win it now

Melbourne kicking game really poor tonight. Just kicking high bombs every set.

Still think they may win this though. Superb defence kept them in the game.

great game. really enjoyable. went right to the last tackle

Hull FC beat their Wembley jinx.
Cronulla finally win the Grand Final.

Can it finally actually be Warrington's year, and give us a hat-trick of hoo-do busting?

Good GF, BTW. Emotional stuff at the end.

Great match. Defences were both outstanding.
Brilliant bit of play by Chambers at the end to kick through and regather. If only he saw Cronk back on the inside.
I hope next week's final can match the entertainment of this morning.

Be even better if England win series.

Delighted to see the Sharkies get over the line. Fafita is a beast, isn't he? The Storm's defence is just superb, though; they are so hard to score tries against.

And really pleased for my favourite player Maloney, who had a great game.

Top game and an awesome result.

Fifita is immense - on his day, the most damaging prop forward in the game.

Gallen is the ultimate workhorse and deservedly gets to win a comp - don't think I've seen 1 player carry a team for such a sustained period. He has his knockers and can polarise opinions, but one thing you can't take away from him is the honesty in the way he toils for the cause. 1 club man personified.

I was reading his career stats the other day - over the course of his career, he's averaged nearly 170 meters per game. When you consider that for a large part of his career, the Sharks have been a basket case - those are unbelievable figures. One of the greatest forward to ever play the game in my eyes.
