Sombreros will win but I think the finals ship has sailed already for them. They may very well play like it too. Mad Monday beckons.

In my opinion the Dolphins forward pack is a lot more physically superior to the Roosters forward pack, especially with Ray Stone coming onto the bench. The Roosters backs are better, but I think the Dolphins will drag them into an arm wrestle.

No one gave the Dolphins much of a chance in their round 1 win, so I'm going with the prediction that they'll win here again albeit by a smaller margin.

Dolphins by 6.

Roosters will probably win by 1-12 but Dolphins are very well balanced against a team that is under performing all season, but just getting the job done.

Hopefully this is the end of the Roosters season. An absolute shambles of a team given the talent they have. They deserve it for dropping Sam Walker so early on and putting Manu in the halves.

You watch the Dolphins and you think Jeez that Tesi Niu is a large fellow for a winger and then two plays later you see Valyce Te Whare and hope he hasn't just eaten poor Tesi
