What, as rusty as they were in 2006-07 where they went on to win both those preliminary finals after having the week off? :sarcasm:
You got me there- but I reckon after smashing Manly they would have been unstoppable the next week- a lot of momentum...
They may still win- but I think they would have been better off without the week off...
In 2005 both teams with the week off got knocked out.....one in 06 one in 08.....one in 04.....hardly conclusive but I just think it stifles some teams......
