It's haere ra to SJ and I never thought the day would come but here we are. I didn't plan it but I have Simple Minds on again - Don't You Forget About Me - we all know that one and I'm not sure he'll ever be forgotten. However, vanity, insecurity...also come to mind when thinking about his career, the song really hits the right notes for what will be an emotional night.
Before that though we have an interesting little 'avoid the spoon' battle at Leichhardt, Tigers hosting Manly. In Wests favour is the fact Manly aren't always at their best playing in the city.
Friday, Mt Smart/'Shaun Johnson Stadium', Warriors v the Dogs, Webby v Ciraldo, a sell-out, can we do it for our famous number seven?
Damn it, I want the Eels to beat Brisbane up there even though it will condemn Wests to the dreaded spoon. It's just that I dislike the Broncos and don't want them sneaking into the finals. Twisted logic.
Saturday, after the Warriors hangover we start with the 'let's gone' Raiders hosting Penrith. Too easy to pick that one. The Storm should further dent Redcliffe's finals hopes (they looked so good all season, so it's a bit sad) and Souths know they won't get the spoon while Newcastle know they won't likely make the eight, so, fellas, chuck the ball around, ay?
Sunday, the GC may as well entertain their fans too against Easts. It's disappointing at Robina as the Titans really did go on a bit of a run there for a while. Easts will be aiming at an unlikely top-two finish, Penrith won't let them have it but, hey, go for it anyway.
We close with St George getting tense already, knowing there's no room on the ladder to drop this tough one against Cronulla. The Dolphins, St George and Brisbane, and maybe Newcastle, are the desperate dudes eyeing eighth spot. They remind me of a bunch of guys in a nightclub at ten minutes to three! It wasn't pretty to see then and it hasn't got any prettier now!
Enjoy.
