I was initially hoping Souths would lose because of the OTT carry on that will immediately follow the breaking of the 42 year drought for the Pride of the League. Their fans are going to be too painful to deal with.
Then a few threads this week made me remember back to SuperLeague and how the Dogs dogged it and sold out. This basically led to Manly beginning their journey up $hit creek paddleless, culminating in their arrival at the Northern Eagles disaster. So the Dogs can get stuffed for their part in those dark days of our history.
I expect the Rabbits will pump them. I also hope it is a dirty, grubby, niggly, Can't Understand Normal Thinking of a game so the NRL can sit back and enjoy the showpiece of what the game has become. If we could see some heroic trips by Reynolds, some squirrel grips from Burgess, chicken wings from Te'o, James Graham doing his Tyson impersonation again, and of course Greg Inglis diving on his own head it would be great. Just a pity two of the best divers in the game will miss out on showcasing their skills. A nice riot in the crowd would top it off. Hope Rugby League is the real loser.
