The more I think about this upcoming final, I'm starting to get confident that we've got a serious shot at nailing these fukkers and setting ourselves up for a pretty darn sweet finals series.
I reckon the short turnaround (and Burgess being suspended) puts Souffs on the back foot in terms of recovery.
Latrell (and Manu? I thought he was okay...) have owned the last result and IMO we can expect big games from both. Souffs got away with kicking the ball to Billy Smith every time last game (to avoid Tedesco, Tupou and Latrell doing the kick return). With B-Moz returning and Gagai nursing an injury, I expect out backs to run amok.
If we win then we maximise our recovery period (Friday game and all) and we're on a pretty sweet GF path because Souffs and the Storm get clumped together in a preliminary final (whereas we're on the easy side of the draw).
Don't wanna get ahead of myself but I'm picturing last week without the bombed tries and 5 minutes of uniquely poor defence. Add to that picture the SCG, Keary, B-Moz, Tauks, Maubs and Friend... on paper Souffs should be chicken feed.
