This is THE match. The one to get our season back on track. Not that it has gone that wonky - after all we are still in the top 4. But we need to prove that there are more than three teams that are a chance to get the chocolates on the first Sunday in October.
PANTHERS - Effort was there, but the execution once again was lacking against the Dogs. An 8-0 lead against the competition front runners was an encouraging sign. Just need to do that for 80 minutes. Still have the potential to go back to back - but the hunger and the fire in the belly just needs to return. Just seem to be a bit flat at the moment.
MANLY - Been hovering in the wooden spoon zone all year, but a good win against Canberra last week suggests that they will put up a fight, and try to maintain their proud record of never having finished last. Have quite a good team on paper, and will come into this game with a lot of confidence after last weeks win.
It's not "only Manly". Round 13 is a great reminder of that attitude.
Having Clinton and Galuvao back this week, as well as the added bonus of Puletua, will definitely be an advantage. And home on a Saturday night - we are undefeated this year with that: 2 from 2.
This could go both ways - Canberra two weeks ago, or Souths the week before. At home, it will probably be the former.
Panthers by 18.
