These sort of decisions have to be marketing ploys from the betting companies involved.

I would assume there exposure for a Panthers GF must be minimal in the overall scheme of things.

With SOO and half a season of footy to be played what possible explanation can there be for such a decision.

Taking into account the injury to Cleary , how many comp. points would we need to finish top 4? Currently 26 + 2 for the bye, 4 home games remaining.
Manly are now 5th with 9 wins from 15 games. If 60% wins gets you 5th, to run 4th we need more than 60% wins, which means 15 wins or 32 points. 1 more win only needed (2 to be safe). This would get us a date with the Storm in week 1, and if we lose that someone like Roosters, Sharks or Knights or even Parra in week 2. We probably reach the prelim anyway, against the Bunnies.

It's not such a bad argument in favour of giving Nathan extra weeks to recover.
