Geez talk about getting ahead of ourselves. It was the best possible result last night but we are far from home and hosed. Broncos on home turf could easily put the cleaners through us. Lots of teams that are finals bound have one eye on the following week and get their pants pulled down; Parra could beat the chooks. If they beat the Chooks by 10 and we lose 50-10 or something the like, we'd get the spoon.
I've seen these games in Brisbane over the years. It's 16-10 at halftime and 22-10 with 20 minutes to go and Milford and Oates go ballistics and all of the sudden they've scored 4 tries in 15 minutes and clocked up 50. I can already see Kelly being turned inside out.
Good points. But important to look at the two opponents. Sydney City will be fighting for the minor premiership. At the moment they are 18 points down on differential with Melbourne. If Brisbane beat SC this afternoon, they will be safe in the 8 with no way further up. Also the Manly-Brisbane match is last game of the general season. If Parra lose, Manly can lose by 100 and still avoid the spoon.
