Voss: What went wrong for the Warriors?
Andrew Voss on the premiership contenders, how the Sharks can win the minor premiership, celebrating Benji Marshall and more.
I'm tipping Cronulla to pull off the upset this Saturday night and claim the minor premiership. Obviously that would mean back to back losses for the Storm heading into the finals, but I'm not dismissing their chances for one moment.
Meanwhile I rate the Cowboys as good as last year even though a win on Saturday over the Titans will mean they are four competition points behind where they were at this time in 2015.
The Storm have led matches at half-time 16 times this year. On 15 occasions they have gone on to secure victory. The odd game out was their last meeting with the Sharks in Round 4.
For as long as I live I will remember calling the role he played in setting up a try for the Tigers against Cronulla way back in Round 21, 2005. "The footwork, the footwork, now the speed …"
I believe the feat of former Storm back Mahe Fonua is one of the best stories of the league year and should be celebrated. How good that a player born and bred in Victoria can score a try and be part of such a huge occasion in the winning Hull FC side?
On a side note, I'd still love to see a Challenge Cup style knock out tournament here played in four-quarter football, and all over by May each year.
