More attention is being paid to the individual battle Inglis vs Lockyer than the whole Storm v Broncos semifinal. I believe that's because either of these two superstars can have the final say in the outcome of this game. Inglis is amazing and his attacking ability is second to none. He's scored 16 tries in 19 games so far. Lockyer is older but also such a class player, and he showed his brilliance in the State of Origin game. Inglis is faster and can manufacture a break any time. Lockyer is smarter and plays with a vision and manufactures tries at will.
So what's the play here?! Alot depends on the two players above, but I believe it'll take alot more than just two players to decide the outcome of this game. I don't think I've got alzheimers, but when is the last time that Storm lost two in a row? Melbourne reminds me of the Bruce Willis series, '.... with a vengeance' everytime they have a loss! It does not matter where this game is being played, Melbourne Storm will book a date in Sydney next Sunday for the preliminary final.
Pick: Melbourne Storm -4.5
AUSSIE
ps.
the other semi NZ. v Sydney. I think this road trip will be a really tough one for the Rosters. Can the warriors back up their amazing preformance last week? Not sure really. But I will take my chances with the OVER here. Many are thinking, it's finals time and there's no tries. I think we should see more than a handful but a small play however, as I really don't care about either team here.
Pick: OVER 34.5
