2013 Grand Final

[Patorick]

Not enough love for the Cowboys.

So long as they can avoid Manly in the finals, they are a massive chance.

:lol: Absolutely love people trying to pick the Grand Final combatants after two rounds. Waste of time.

If its Manly and melbourne in the gf again I thinks its safe to say Manly and melbourne have owned the nrl for half a decade.

Souths are a huge chance this season.
I'm not sure about the Dogs, i still think they overacheived last season...

Cowboys maybe, but Melbourne and Manly really have their number.

since when have manly had their number, is it just the finals game when the refs messed it up?

titans could go all the way

They've played 3 finals matches ('07, '11, '12) and Manly have won all 3, in '11 it was 42-6, '07 was 28-6. As for the match you're referring to, Manly led from the time the first points were scored (5 minute mark), it's unlikely the stuff up had any impact on the result.

We have only played 2 rounds ffs, Cameron Smith could tear his ACL next week

I for one am genuinely looking forward to Manly vs. Melbourne in the GF this year. I was a bit off put by not seeing it in 2012.

The key to a joke is to make it funny.

Anyway Souths were pretty crap last night. After three rounds it's quite clear that all being even Manly and Melbourne are miles ahead of the rest as per usual. Salary cap working a treat.

Sure here you go;

Melbourne 26 Canterbury 6
Manly 24 Gold Coast 16

The other games are teams playing for pride only.

 

[natheel]

Dogs will be there and abouts. Storm, Rabbitohs and maybe Manly as well.

I think they could struggle. Will be interesting to see how barba goes when he is back and if his head is 100% right


But you guys need to get rid of Keating to have any sort of chance

 

[ceagle]

Don't really see the dogs going no where near as well as they did last year, it was a dream run for them

Yeah it is the salary caps fault... Yet, when you pick a team for NSW's, you can't find a single Sea Eagle in the team. And they sure as hell not making the QLD team (without injury) either.

I didn't say it was the fault of anything. It's just pretty obvious that the cap doesn't work in the way it is intended too when two teams are able to dominate for ten years. The Titans proved me wrong this week anyway. Melbourne will be playing against whatever hapless fools go on a winning streak and fluke their way in.

This one

I've been reliably informed that's a South Sydney t-shirt......
Funny - could have sworn it was Canberra
