I don't see why the Broncos deserve it anymore then the Storm. The Storm have been on fire all year, where as the broncos have been on and off all the way through. Im looking at this the same way I approached the 2003 Grand Final. Rooster this, Rooster that, everyone was talking about how fabulous they were. I couldn't understand why, the Panthers were the minor premiers and were in outstanding form. And they backed in up in the GF.

When it comes down to it, if Melbourne play like minor premiers, they will win. The Bronocs' from is questionable. They were smashed by the Dragons, and only played half a game of football last week. Some may say that the Storm havn't been that impressive recently as well, but when playing below par, they have shown the ability to grind out a win, a great attribute heading into a GF.

Storm all the way. :

Plus I hate the Broncos. The players act like jerks (I'm being nice) when on the town, and the fans **** me off.

Cowboys, Premiers 2007! :

I have supported the Bronco's for a while. So Bronco's for the win.
But it's good to see the Storm having a successful year so far, with only 4 losses.

Went to school with Inglis, so I just cant like the guy. He is a good footy player but. Broncos for me. They are in real good form, and I really do think they can do it.
GO THE BRONCO's!

I think Murray was professional enough not to let his coaching duties with NSW intefere to heavily. That said, I do think it was a contributing factor to the teams slide from grace, after the whirlwind start to the season, and I would like to see Murray pass the NSW baton onto someone else to focus solely on the Cowboys.

Great sporting state as we have always fins a way to wiggle in and win.


What was a classic on the late news that comes out of Sydney it's the first time they have showed AFL before the NRL. And the news reader didn't know who to tip in the NRL, Maybe she just didnt care.

GO STORMERS!!!!

Been going to games the last few year was at the Parra game....I think that the storm can get another win we have had the form all season. We can close down the Broncos for one more game...hey we have done it twice this year.

Watch out for the Mexicans it:

This will be the first year of my life I won't watch the Grand Final - because I honestly dont care who wins as both are out-of-towners. (now I know how you AFL boys/girls feels with no Melbourne team in the final)

As for Broncos deserving it - give me a break - they were cold most of the year, then should have been knocked out when St George beat them in the first round of the finals.

Hey if Melbourne win the NRL and Sydney win the AFL do you want to swap cups?

If the Broncos can stop the storm from lying down on top off the tackled man for their usual 2 mins, or the ref as a matter of fact then the broncos will win easily.That is the only reason the storm have won so many of their games they just lie on the tackle person for so long, it just tires the players out but when it happens to them they start waving their hands in the air like they are going to take off.We want a free flowing game. Yay go the Broncs. :

Being a Queenslander doesn't mean you have to support a team based in Queensland. It's the BRISBANE Broncos, not the Queensland Broncos. Annoys the hell outta me when people say, why not just support the other Queensland team if your's aint playing? out:

It seemed they fell away during and after origin. I know it would be a bloody big ask to do both.
I wonder if they do decide to change, who will coach? Craig Bellamy? Who knows.

I haven't followed a particular team for years. I think either way it should be a good game and all I'm interested in seeing is good football.

Key distinction here, I said 'dosn't mean you have to,' not you shouldn't. Didn't say a law should be passed against people supporting Queensland teams, just that being a Queensland team shouldn't mean I have to support them.

Look the Storm deserve the win - they've been at the top all season - won the minor premiership and have shown true class a grit to get where they are!!

The Broncos, I think, also deserve the win. Year in year out they are plagued with bad fortune straight after state of origin and to show some class and form in beating some very strong competition (ie. Bulldogs and Newcastle) in the finals run by big margins - they have come back intp form and I think have victory in their sites especially with the likes of the great Shane Webke departing...

All in all it'll be hard, tough game battled in the forwards and won through the brilliance of backline moves... I am looking forward to a tough match, at the end of the day I don't mind who wins (although the QLDer in me is say Broncos), I'm just happy that the sydney teams are sitting somewhere sulking about it!!
