As a neutral watching the Manly/Melbourne Grand Final that year I felt it would have been more entertaining for everyone in Sydney if the two teams battled to the death. I mean it's not as though anyone wanted any of those teams to win or anything.
This year however I'll be supporting a 11am drinking start, copious amounts of imported fancy piss & enough food to support the eating requirements of a biggest loser evicted contested party.
Errr go Tedesco, I mean Easts, I guess.
