Week 1

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I reckon all teams on the left will win and some by large margins , the Bunnies will absolutely tear the Knights a new arsehole.

And the Eels , although they won last night , were torn apart at times by the Tigers so imagine the Storm if you will!!

The Eels going out in straight sets would make a **** year somewhat more bearable for me.

I can not watch the finals . I am cut .
Its like watching the girl you love pashing off the guy next door
After today my season is over and look forward to a GREAT 2021 MANLY REVIVAL

Couldn't care less and won't go out of my way to watch any of it. Penrith deserve to win but we all know things can go pear-shaped in the finals. Just as long as the Roosters, Storm or Eels don't win…

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

As many of you would be aware my late son in law Mick ( who came to many games with me during the MWTS times ) was a rabid Panthers fan, he was in fact cremated wearing a Panthers jersey.

For that reason I’ll be on “ team Choccy Soldiers “ for the finals but agree with the sentiment that “ who cares anyone can win as long as it’s not Roosters , Storm or Eels”.

Mind you I think I’d equally hate to see Souffs win it but with what they put on again the Rorters they could well be up there if they can replicate that form.

 

[Chip and Chase]

The only thing I'm interested in is seeing the Eels going out in straight sets.

Penrith is the most palatable result out of that top 8. They are playing good footy and probably deserve the title

Long as Penrith or Raiders kick ass I'll be happy - hate the rest - especially Roosters

Week one I think will be Panthers just over the Rorters who will hit back, Storm to trounce the Whinging worms. Vermin to knock out Drugcastle easily and the Raiders to harpoon the Guppies.

Panthers win over faiders with a ref / bunker howler would be purrrfect.

 

[manly al]

After last seasons controversial Raiders loss , probably a fair bit of sentiment for them to be able to have a good shot and winning the title . Panthers have been the most consistent team leading up to the finals but plenty of historical examples of the best performed team of a season missing out on the Big One . Plenty of very good past era Manly sides have experienced that fate unfortunately .

 

[mosto]

I’ll be on the Sharks as one of my boys goes for them. I’ve also always had a bit of a soft spot for them for some reason. My boy (9) is realistic though, he’s already asked me who I’ll go for once the Sharks are eliminated lol

 

[Cliffymagic]

As much as I'd like to see the roosters or storm lose a grandfinal, Hopefully neither of them make it.

A Storm v Panthers with a Storm victory and Scam announcing his retirement is probably on the cards.

 

[ManEagle]

Not only Manly not playing in the finals but the whole change in the game to touch has me less interested than ever before.

That said even though my tips this year emulated Manly games I still feel Panthers are going to bow out with weight of expectation like the eels.
The rest, man, how can you drum up any interest in them when you hate them with a passion. ..

Hahaha @BOZO . What a great analogy. I haven’t heard the word ‘pashing’ since high school.

 

[DUFFMAN]

I don’t want to see the rorters or storm win.
Parra would be the team less likely to win out of the eight teams.

Would love to see the Panthers win by 2 with a controversy try in the last minute against the roosters.

Pashing , Passion . Same thing feathered friend. Its all about getting heated up in the moment

 

[pt73]

After the Raiders beating the Shonks pretty easily with a team of lower grade players their finals match should be a thrashing.
