I don't watch the crappy footy Show but just accidentally saw Gasnier there saying he thought Manly were gone and they look busted.
Of course that is exactly how we look but it is very unusual for a player to come out and bag a potential finals opponent in such fashion.
I suspect he may have been acting on suggestion from Bennett because he would know the battle for Des and Manly at this stage is very much a mental battle. If our guys start believing they are busted then that will be the beginning of the end. Injuries or not, we are one team Sainst are very wary of.
