[Guest]

maybe they are resting players so they lose on Thursday and avoid playing us in the first week of finals after womanly lose to the cowboys

Mind games will always lead to grief. I hope they follow that path.
ALWAYS field your strongest team.

would be shocked if they did, would be a bit worried if they did, would mean they are actually learning that beating us is not the ultimate prize.

Also, whoever wins is actually not guaranteed the minor Premiership due to manly still having the ability to take it out.

Manly have a nice choice whether to rest players or play them, because they will see which team they prefer to play in the first week of the finals. Playing panthers first round would be a gift if the finish 4th.

Even taking out the minor premiership from the equation ...Thursdays winner is guaranteed a home final in wk 1, Thursdays loser will play an away final ..... that in itself is something to play for ?

It is, although the two potential away finals would either be Vs Manly @ the SFS or Vs Souffs @ ANZ

The term away should be used lightly especially in the former scenario.

Can we sign Riley Brown up on a one game contract? he can target the knees of Inglis and Sutton, then drive one into the back of Scurgess.

I'd much prefer Adrian Morley..

[Tommy Smith]

Morley at his peak against the Burgess sisters makes me moist.

He'd smash the merkins.

What bullshit. I said they'd use that as their defence. Means any player can kick out if they feel threatened. Can of worms.

Chook.

I hate Souffs mate but if that was one of our players in Pukes position and he was charged this place would be in meltdown.

I'd be filthy if the club didn't try and fight it with a similar defence.

I hope he plays and JWH and Co belt him into tomorrow.

I would of done the same, that tackle and pressure looked terrible.

[Hollus]

With Ennis not being charged for his alleged crusher tackle then I fail to see how this could be a plausible defence. By the MRC interpretation it was a reasonable tackle and he therefore overreacted in kicking out.

[fletch]

I'm shocked that the hearing is still going after an hour, should have been thrown out in 3 minutes flat.
