NRL Grand Final 2008 and a couple of Horses

Published by SJ under General

We back up this week after last week’s sensational Hawthorne victory and once again I am following the outsider. The $2.10 about the Melbourne Storm is pretty attractive to anyone who really sits down and thinks about the following.

The Storm have been favourite all year and have been dominating all year.

Billy Slater is on absolute FIRE!

Inglis has been plodding along (apart from breaking my Bronco heart) and is due

Folau hasn’t scored off a high kick for a few minutes and is due.

The coach is pissed about the Cameron Smith situation, which will siphon through to the team. I actually think the Storm should consider boycotting the grand final if those sparrow-hearted twits at the judiciary don’t pull their litigious heads in, but that is another story.

Melbourne have had some tough warm ups to the big game and Manly have had a charmed run home. You saw what happened to Cronulla last week didn’t you?

And Manly got dominated last year.

Melbourne are MORALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We now move on to Super Saturday and one of the great race days of the year. The Epsom, the Turnbull and that horse Weekend Hussler.

In the UCI Stakes I like – Wookah

In the Blazer Stakes I like – Forensics

In the Epsom Handicap I like – Musket in a last meter head bob.

In the Turnbull I like – Pompeii Ruler to turn the tables on the Hussler

Good luck and enjoy your weekend.
