I think the Warriors played their GF in Melbourne. Let's not forget they are inexperienced in GF's, we are not. We have a few things in our favour as follows:
1. The Stewart Brothers have a point to prove
2. Smokin Joe will probably view this as his last opportunity to win a GF
3. Robbo knows this is his last opportunity
4. Rodney knows this is his last opportunity
5. Big Georgie missed 2008 and won't want a lost GF to his name
6. Hoppa will want to leave Manly with a GF win
7. All of the boys that were there in 2007 know what it's like to lose a GF and won't let it happen
8. Foran & DCE are born winners
9. Tell me which one of their players you would swap for our equivalent.....none for me
10. We, as a club have a winning culture
The Warriors are worthy opponents, no doubt, but they are hit and miss. We will not be as soft as the scum or the pussy cats. We will be brutal in the forwards and have a delicate touch in the backs.
It will be a similar game to the donkeys game. We will be in control against a determined and dogged opposition, but our class will prevail 22 - 14.
