No, fox are reporting they're "in doubt"...... Big difference....
Nice try though.

Just said on Fox Sports, Munster got a cut on his knee against the Eels, had stiches which got an infection and lead to him spending a couple of days in hospital. I am assuming that it was in to an drip with antibiotics to clear up the infection. They then said the club said he was rested, but he might not have been able to play and they are still not sure if he will be fit for next week.

The Finals mind games begun before the ball was even kicked off in the final round.

There were lots of positives, Paps and Seve were awesome. NAS was great when he came on and with a bit more fitness his impact will be even better. Paps finally looked like the bloke he was before concussion. Seve played a lot better with an awesome try. Im not worried about Munster (obviiously want him to play) but if he is injured Hynes is a natural at 5/8th anyway. So it is an area of strength for us. I liked Rusiate Isaac Lumelume as well. He was looking for work all night and took up a lot of the early hit ups. He has sure in his hands as well. Hughes is just all class. if anything, we want him to have the ball more often.

Brandon only had cramp. Take some Magnesium pills before the game Brandon. Tui will be right to go with two games under his belt.

With Welsch and Jessie and Felice and Kenny back...Remis Smith who has become a very important player for us as well

We havent had a full strength set of forwards for a while and when we do, watch Harry and Brandon go wild.

Have to disagree about not being worried about Munster. Having addo Carr & Munster out next week will be huge losses coming up against manly. Hynes is good yes but his no Munster at 5/8 in the big games and doesn’t have the great combination that Hughes/Munster have built over the years.

I hope his good to go!

Storm forward Nelson Asofa-Solomona has escaped sanction and will be free to play in Melbourne’s first finals game after Saturday’s match review committee released their findings.

This is a huge positive for us. NAS is our X factor

The difference was NAS, Finucane and Tui all being on the field together. NAS n particular was awesome. Had some proper punch in the middle.

I’m sure CB will go back to J Brom but Nelson is such a key man he could well be worth a start…

Otherwise, Paps, Hynes, Grant, Hughes combined well and Seve’s performance was a bonus.

Good to win the minor prem.

Not perfect but way better than Eels game

Yes you can talk all about our backs but it is our forwards and how they take the ball up that really counts.

Agree, the spine are the stars but the forwards deserve the accolades

Loving the fact cowboys pushed manly’s full strength team for the full 80.

Big advantage for us with a heap of our forwards being a lot more fresh for next weeks game.
