Been pondering this one most of the day - while trying to get my NFL teaser home
- and at this stage I'm sticking with the wager.
Girdler's expected return would be a bonus for the Panthers undoubtedly but an injured Adamson would be a blow.
The three absences for the Storm are definite blows, but their forward depth is quite good, with Roarty on the bench and I really rate Henry Perenara.
Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Scott Hill slot in at standoff during the game with Matt Geyer going out to the wing.
I'm sorry I don't have all my stats crap at hand today - must get em onto disc and have them handy at all times.
But I couldn't play the Panthers even at +12 - just miss too many tackles for my liking and I think the value of their win away to Canberra last weekend was reflected by the beating the Raiders took from the Eagles y'day.
Turtle - my thoughts on that total were at first glance over until I saw the total; Storm either score a bucket-load or concede 'em and sometimes both. Then looking at the Panthers' haphazard offence and Girdler absence and weather and I was investigating the over.
But then I had a second look - Colonial Stadium at night. I think the roof might be pulled over for this one
Sticking with the Storm at -10.5, wouldn't play them or the Panthers at 12 and will skip the total.
Yeehah, just landed that teaser - 49ers and under
