Tough decision for Craig Bellamy on who to leave out.

[Steelers]

This is a make or break game for the Dragons. COME ON BOYS!

[Super Cronk]

Dragons and Storm time agian! Love it when these two teams play.

The Storm have named a real good side but the Dragons have also named a hard to beat side. Inglis will definately play but it will be intresting to see who he leaves out.

Just a tip here.....look for Blair and smith to drop off the bench with inglis coming off the bench into the 5/8 spot with hill possibly moving to lock with Johnson to the bench or to fill in with the second rowers.

[dan the man]

Anyone know....drags need him back soon for match fitness for the finals and for a bit of mongrel

Come, on Dragons, Time to step up and show the rest what we got, i think after a close lose and a disapointing lose the dragons will have a lot to prove, last time we played at olympuc park we were i nthe game till head left at half time, so this time at home, if we can just stick to it, should hopefully outmuscle the storm, good to see bickerstaff back.

[Townsville Titan]

I'll pick the Dragons. They lost last weekend and have to prove that they're still top-4 material... go Gasnier....

[Darren Lockyer]

I'll pick dragons by 6 in this one.

Will be a toughie to pck - Im leaning to the Dragons :-)

[Queenslander]

Im leaning towards the Storm for three reasons:

a) The Storm are in excellent form and are top of the ladder; and the Dragons were last week beaten quite easily by Canberra (However this will fire up the Dragons)
b) The return of Greg Inglis
c) I just dont like the Dragons :lol!:

I think the bold part should be a), not c).

I agree with Queenslander especialy the C part

[Social Loafer]

I don't think the Dragons played that bad last week..

Anyway I'll be tipping the storm in this match, they have incredible depth.. You know you're doing good when Greg Inglis is named in Jersey #19 :eek:

[Dragons]

Go Melbourne, i don't mind if you play dirty this week :box:

You Storm supporters are taken that on the chin.
