[Mr. Shaman]

Let’s gone Bulldogs

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Predicted crowd? 45k?

 

[Game_Breaker]

Game played 2 weeks ago
Should Manly have the advantage because they won and have the confidence to do it again

or Bulldogs have the advantage because they know exactly what they need to do to improve

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Both teams stink, Dogs should stink less than Manly will stink.

 

[Warrimoo3]

Reed Mahoney is preparing his customised rainbow headgear as we speak.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Both teams in woeful form. Tom T will not be fit.

 

[This Year?]

Whoever wins will lose next week anyway.
Yeah I'm jealous and salty.

 

[Valheru]

This doesn't look anywhere near as enticing as two weeks ago.

I'll go dogs just because of the crowd factor.

 

[Captain Apollo]

Funny how certain media pundits were only last week talking up both of these teams as "dark horses" who could possibly win the GF from outside the top 4. I think those pundits need to lay off the drugs.

 

[ouwet]

Manly will be tough... But teams making up the numbers! Dogs by 8

 

[0neye]

 

[Fangs]

Manly.

Seibs has been toying with opposition teams for weeks now. Manly's pack will now turn the screws.

 

[yobbo84]

I hope Gerard Sutton is the ref (or in the bunker) and makes an absolute howler of a decision that costs the Dogs the game. Just for the lols.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

jac not be a f**kwit one week out from the finals challenge

 

[skeepe]

I wish we could eliminate both teams this week. But at least the winner only get a stay of execution, both teams are gone after next week.

 

[Diesel]

Dogs not helping their cause

 

[Diesel]

I hope Gerard Sutton is the ref (or in the bunker) and makes an absolute howler of a decision that costs the Dogs the game. Just for the lols.

Sutton ref & Casey in the bunker for shits & giggles

 

[mozza91]

The Bulldogs have reached their peak a few weeks ago. Manly will beat them pretty easily here.

 

[Jackie Treehorn]

Dogs started mad Monday the day before the cowboys game by the sounds of it
