Yep I know what I won't be watching next weekend. Manly vs Easts, level of interest - absolute zero.

Yeah I just hate seeing tough skilful sides playing footy. Their last game was a classic and assuming easts win tomorrow, the GF will be a hum dinger

Souths lacked class in the backline,Inglis was a shot rabbit and really their no6 and n07 lack speed and flair big time. I said two months ago I thought Manly would win the GF,they have a physical presence and plenty of class in the key positions.

That might be true, but this was a choke job, pure and simple. Seriously, probably the first time all season the Rabbits had someone peg them back after building a big lead (can't be bothered to check if it's true or not) and they were completely clueless how to respond. This would have been the most wins in a season for the club EVER, that's more than 100 seasons. They had the benefit of two week's rest against a team who had the crap smashed out of them in the last two games, led 14-0 after 15 minutes and then just froze. One of the worst finals losses I've ever seen, considering those circumstances (nothing beats us choking against the Warriors in 2011, though).

Rooster v Manly wow!!!Although cant say it would be a bad game with the knights there either.

Love them or hate them Manly have to be admired. They've been the most consistent side in the comp for the last 10 yrs.

If we could model our culture on theres we wouldn't be too bad.

Manly are just a fantastic football side. Did Benji need to declare himself ineligible for NZ? Keiran Foran is one of the best players in the world now, I'd love to have him in the halves for us.

Yep they have and they have done it with the whole league hating their guts. They have seen phenmomenal sucess and their conversion rate is pretty damned good to boot.

Is Brenton Lawrence the most improved player in the comp ??

Qlder or NSWmen ??

Born in Qld, don't know if he IS a queenslander though.

Horo would give him a run for his money as most improved though - gone from not wanted by the wooden spooners to a vital member of the grand finalist team

Don't start on Brenton Lawrence, the man Sheens rejected

Hard to understand what he could not see in a athletic big man with great heart, hands, lateral movement and leg speed. Together with his fellow props and of course Ballin, they finished all over the bunnies.

Wayne Bennett rejected Ballin. It happens.
