lol do you think manly will lose at brookvale lol you made my day but thanks for info on the first 2 teams m8 have good 1 hey
honestly I think Manly might struggle this week against the Dragons regardless of where it is, i think the Dragons are 6-2 over the last 8 games at brookvale against Manly from what I heard on the weekend so i mean based on that its going to be a challenge.
Same with Storm, i think Storm will step up and destroy the Warriors because of the fact that the Warriors have beaten us a few times recently, Storm tend to do that come out with a vengeance in these sort of games especially a final, we have a lot of big game players and Inglis, Slater, Cam Smith all are used to big games and tend to really step up for them so I think we should have a decent win. BUT in saying that I think it is going to be one of the toughest games we have played in a long time, the Warriors record against the storm is pretty good especially over the last few years so it should be a good game.
I agree that the AFL final system is better, but I think we could improve on that too, I mean look at last year, the Broncos were 8th and they had lost more games than they had won, now I dont think that sort of a result warrants a finals berth and the 1v8 and 2v7 means that yeah, 1st and 2nd will be almost be guaranteed of a week off and straight though but having said that, i dont think that 5th and 6th deserve a 2nd chance that they can potentially get, when potentially 3rd and 4th can be out in the first week! I also dont like the fact that 1st and 2nd dont really get a 2nd chance because as its been 1st has NEVER lost to 8th in the first week of the finals so if thats the case 1st never really gets an opportunity to lose to a decent team and get that 2nd chance with a similar response to 2nd v 7th.
I agree that 1st and 2nd should advance fairly easily to the 2nd or even 3rd round of finals but really there needs to be a better system in place, I mean how about the top 6, with something like this:
1 v 2
3 v 4
5 v 6
winner of 1v2 goes through to 3rd week, winner of 3v4 plays winner of 5v6 and loser of 1v2 plays loser of 3v4 in 2nd round
Or something along those lines, that just something I thought up in 10seconds but really i think the top 8 finals system that the NRL has at the moment could use some work
big upset the warriors win now that would be nice if melbourne win again dont people get sick of that or what i personally would like to see any of the other 7 teams win the big 1 cmon warriors
I completely disagree with this, Melbourne won last year thats it.... I dont get where you are coming from with sick of seeing melbourne win, the team has dominated the NRL for the last 3 years but so far with only 1 Grand Final Win, I guess your just a bit cut from seeing Manly come in 2nd
You should be happy I mean the fact that Manly denied any players from playing in rep football and hence insured that Matt Orford got the Dally M should give you some comfort
(just dont forget that Melbourne made him
)
