Mate, the only fix I ever observe is when i watch Jamie Soward potting field goals to make it a 13 plus result!
I mean seriously when it comes to Manly, I wrote last year when they won the comp at about round 10 that they have by far the best roster on paper. I wonder where that thread is now??I might look it up.
North Queensland have 7 great players and 6 average players.
If the six players dont play above themselves or have a poor game........
The cowboys have four of our rejects. Can you believe that??That says a lot about us I think. Tamou is the reject that hurts isnt it.

Souths will win for the same reasons.
They have too many better class players.
Winning big games under pressure is done by elite players who love to rise to the challenge.
Average players can panic.

The additional loss of Croker and there sidelined captain means two of their best are out.
Souths are at full strength and hardened by a poor showing in week 1.

Agreed. Finals are when class usually rises above the pack cos of the pressure factor. See last night the pressure got to Thursthead. The more he whinged the more erratic he got. His 20 metre pass to Larry Linesman was Finchesque.

Though one can only hope Souffs trip over their laces and do a Souffs.

woManly are so tough. What a game next week vs Melba.

All valid points mate and I believe Manly would have won anyway as they were the better side, but those decisions. Geesus! If one of them decides a GF we will never hear the end of it.

I can see where you are coming from but the Raiders are full of confidence & belief plus they do have the momentum. Alot of the Raiders players were in the winning GF U20's team a few years ago & have stepped up to FG pretty well.
I think Sam Williams & McCrone are playing with a lot of confidence as is Ferguson, Dugan & Papalii.

If the Raiders have the luck they should account for Souths. In saying all that I have probably just put Souths in the winning seat.

IMO it's who the 50/50s go against as to what whinging we hear.

Imagine the decisions last night went against woManly mate. Sure they'd have whinged but the media would've hardly said boo.

But against Johnathon, and The Plods, it's the end of the world.

Like the 2010 GF. Reverse those calls and we'd have had a royal commission into Reffing.
