TBH if either Storm or Panthers lose this weekend, I wouldn't mind seeing them face off in a prelim rather than a grand final. I still feel if this game occurred, is where the grand final winner will come from.

I'm still a little confused by our bench. Keppie over Sipley, Sipley has more size and go forward. Exactly what you want against the Storm.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

It’s a TV series lol…

Yeah, but it ain't mini.

Trailer looks good.

 

[KOMORI]

Trailer looks good.

I didn’t know it existed until my ex-wife called me and told me about… first time she’s not been a merkin in a decade or so

As long as they don’t mess it up like The Sword of Truth or Ready Player One or Battlefield Earth…. I’ll be happy!

 

[Exsilium]

Storm by 14.

I can see Manly winning this or at least going very close to winning, in the last game between these sides they didn't get much ball and were still competitive

 

[Sphagnum]

Cracking game to start the final series. Surprised the market doesn’t have the teams a lot closer together. Manly’s consistency may be the question mark but their capability should seriously be recognised. Very hard to pick with any confidence.

 

[eagles4eva]

Croker out, replace by Lawton. That's a big blow for us, Croker has been solid this year.

Sironen onto the bench, over Sipley which is a suprise

I will be backing Manly with the start

 

[big hit!]

Not sure who'd replace him so I went with Hynes then Chris Lewis on the bench.

Cheers. It would be Hynes into 6, and one of Pene and Eisenhuth onto the bench I reckon. With the form Hynes is in, I don't think they'd lose too much.

 

[GongPanther]

The lopsided weight of money is far too much for a Manly win here IMO. Best thy can do is if they are getting hammered by the hour mark is to bring Turbo off for preservation reasons.

Mel finished MP for a reason, and this game won't be getting in their way albeit I'd loved to be proven wrong for Manly's sake. Do it for Bozo.

Siro over Sipley? No Froggy?

Is the living embodiment of Central QLD FIFO culture playing tonight?

 

[This Year?]

Just saw who the ref is so good luck trying to beat 14 men on the field Manly.
Also, how lucky are the people of the Sunshine Coast being able to see a finals game live! So good to see it's sold out and it should be an excellent quality game.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

You have one job Manly, get it done.

 

[Captain Apollo]

I think the Storm will figure out how to cut the petrol flow to Turbo and win this match.

 

[Fangs]

This is gonna be a big one.

 

[baselinepanther]

high completion rate
good kick n chase game & force the storm into yardage a lot

I think the eagles can pinch this off Melb similar to the Raiders in 2019 & put the Storm onto the same side of the draw as the Riff

huge game coming up here

 

[blaza88z]

What about him

Just what about him

Just .. what .. about .. him?
