Big advantage for us with a heap of our forwards being a lot more fresh for next weeks game.
True ( well, 70, not 80 ! ) but Manly have 2 gun wingers, their 3 back rowers are very dangerous, and I think their full back is quite a reasonable player…

Still, we cannot expect any easy games in the finals .

Spitballing that the two QFs will likely be played at Suncorp (especially as they're "marquee" matchups - Panthers v Rabbitohs, Storm v Sea Eagles) , and the two EFs at Cbus (even if Titans sneak into 8th by winning by >= 12 points tomorrow).

Obviously not expecting a easy game, never said that.

Regardless it will be a tough game but the last 20 minutes our forwards will be that little bit fresher since 4 of them had the week off vs manly’s forwards getting pushed for that whole game.

Manly really put the peddle down that last 10 minutes, freakish performance by turbo. The bloke is out of this world. We limit his performance like last time & we got a very good chance of winning.
