Finals

Actually think it would be unfair on Souths to postpone but a huge shot in the arm for Penrith, who look very banged up.

The point of the finals system though is that if you have a good season, make top four, and win week 1, you earn an easier road to the GF. So under no circumstances can they postpone IMO. Would be an outrage.
 
That’s true, would definitely favour Penrith with Souths having earned the second week off.
 
Live in Penrith so cheering for them but leaning a bit towards South’s for Benjie and Gags but mostly just want a great non controversial game with 4-10 separating them
 
Don't care who wins.
A game as good as the rest of the finals series has been will make this just about the best ever finals series I think.
There have been some fantastic games so far.

The Tinkler story is pretty amazing.
People lined up to separate him from his money.
The sharp operators in the racing industry took him for about 300 million by some estimates. They sold him every nag in the country and bought them back for dog food prices when he went broke.
Bennett employed every old player and all his cronies for the coaching staff for top dollar, and got about a cool 6 mill for himself over his contract.
You even hear stories of how Tinkler ripped off tradesmen, and then you hear Tinkler's side where they charged him 10 times what a job was worth, so he let them do the job and let them whistle for the money.
Funny encounter I saw - Tinkler went to a reserve grade game and Rick Stone met him there to talk about the players - Rick was dressed up like he'd come off a Paris catwalk in clothes that must have cost thousands, and Tinks was in gear from Target that looked like it cost less than Stone's haircut for the entire outfit, and it looked like it still had tags on some of it.
The reserve grade coach dressed up like a billionaire to meet up with the billionaire dressed like a reserve grade coach.

If that story is true, Tinkler is a complete buffoon and he deserved his fate.

And, go Penrith tonight.

Don't think I've have him back now, even for goalkicking haha ... but I've always felt we got rid of him way too early ... especially when we replaced him with a busted Trent Hodkinson for a massive paycheck.

Maybe I'll rephrase. Teach Clifford to goalkick. Yeah I'm with you, not really a half though, doesn't do too much wrong other then knowing how to steer a side around. I thought he played well at fullback when titans were down on numbers. His career will end shortly though I'm sure.
 
Souths should theoretically have the fitness advantage with their easier matches and the week off ... not sure anything is going to stop the Panthers though. But they should be further ahead with all the possession and territory they've had ...

It can all change on the day no matter who you play. Possession means nothing if you can capitalise on your chances. Pennies have had 3 repeats for 1 try. They need to take a chance.
 
This is anyone's game at the moment. Penrith ahead on momentum at the moment, but every time Souths get the ball they look dangerous. This looks like going down to the wire.
