No, the reality of it all is that you can hardly tell that any other teams are playing finals this week at all except Souths. Parra and the Raiders are hardly getting mentioned either.
It's all Souths this, Souths that.
It's boring
Same as last year. Vonny flicking the bean over Wayne all week on 360 was sickening. The quicker they are out the better.

A near sellout crowd at Allianz in Souths heartland. It will be an 80% Souths crowd. And I suspect the ref will try to make sure he doesn't piss his pants like Klein last week. We won't see soft sin bins. I think our forward pack which is comprised of a bunch of brutal street fighters will overpower theirs.

If we do get the momentum in the trenches, our spine will just be too much quality. If we are in their 20 more than they are in ours, I cannot see them keeping Cody and Latrell out often enough to outscore us.
I tried to read that in Matt Nables voice, as it deserves, but your prose is all wrong.

No idea who to pick here. I thought the Chooks would beat Souths comfortably last week but they just bashed them out of the game and won easily.

Sharks defence last week was a worry, particularly some of Kennedy’s efforts but they have been the better side this year.

I’ll go Souths by 2

keep making latrell and co chase the ball and work it back from their goal line.

Otherwise Souths get on a roll and it will be over quickly.

We just need to play like Penrith.

too easy
Simply defend the way you have been all year. Gotta move up in one line (with the fullback covering the kick in goals) to restrict Johnson's try scoring freakishness, as the umbrella defensive structure doesn't work well against Souths backline. They'll just run around you.

Talakai and Royce Hunt out apparently so that swings it well into Souths favour. Also means I have to watch Tolman in a sharks jersey 1 more time most likely ffs
