Finals Week 1 vs ??? at ???

[waynesworld]

They are going to do whatever they can to get Manu on the field in week 1 of the finals. The whole game plan relies on the running threat of the back rowers so the outside defence can’t shoot out on Ponga. Manly weren’t too worried about Friz/Cant in Rd 25 and really rattled Ponga I thought. Week later with Manu back we were back to normal absolutely carving up the edges.

It’s a catch 22 with Saulo. Some big minutes in Cup would be ideal for his fitness but I don’t know if he can risk another injury to our middles.

Knowing our luck we’ll rest him and he’ll get an injury watching the game on TV.

Yeah you gotta watch the socks on those polished floors.

Souths are absolutely not good enough IMO. A prelim is their absolute ceiling and I guarantee you they will look almost dead from fatigue by the 55th minute in that game.

This week and last week with Jai will have mentally destroyed Walker and his close mates, there will be nothing left in the tank and fully expecting a shocking effort from them.

Well he is due

Been nothing short of a cat last 2 games.

As others have posted on here, I would say that Ponga is carrying an injury.

Also when there's a send off he has to spend the whole game sprinting behind the line and finding different places to plug in to fill holes.

Souths are becoming overrated honestly with some of the comments I've read about them. They're behind Warriors, Panthers, Dolphins. Us at full strength.

No arguments for Sharks, Cowboys.

Roosters is tricky, because they're playing like absolute ****. Their best is way better than Souths though, probably even without Walker.
