Can i just say that Cronk has become one of my favs in the NRL because of the way he has handled himself over the past 2 weeks. Pure leader and all class.
I have to put my hand up and say i tipped the storm. Manly were just too good, bit surprised Kite got CC Medal. What this result really highlights to me is just how f**king sh*t Cronulla are. This result re-inforces Cronulla's effort as one of the greatest chokes in finals history.
Worst GF ever !!
LOL at people who think Manly will win easily.
Melbourne with their origin players haven't lost by more than 4 points all season. They have the wood over Manly from last season's 34-8 shellacking in the grand final and have beaten them twice this season, the psychological edge in still in their favour.
Expect a similar game to the Manly-Melbourne game at Brookvale and a similar scoreline. Manly should enjoy some good periods of pressure and it will come down to whether Orford, finally produces in a big game which is close.
