If we go to Brookie I can see us down 16 0 within 10mins
Hopefully Manly get some players on report. Only need 1 of Paseka, Olokauatu or Brown to get suspended and they are cooked

What's the scenario here? if Manly win tomorrow it's at Brookie, if they lose is it at Accor ? Or neutral like SFS ?
If Manly win it's at Brookie. If Sharks win then the game is at our home stadium so Accor.

Up the Sharkies then, I feel if it's at Accor we have a good shot. True test of CC as a coach to play a team that pumped us two weeks ago and try turn the result. Either way been a mad season I didn't expect us to be near the 8

If Manly win tommorow it’s going to be harder for them to consecutively win week after week, who knows we have the potential to do them

Salmon is literally Ciraldildos number 1 choice at lock lol
Salmon hasn’t improved or gotten worse since the trial games. Guys just plateaued, meaning he gets exposed more the better the side. Mann out isn’t just a loss because of a quality player, it’s putting up with that Fish man.

No matter what we still had a good season & I'm just happy that we've finally made the finals after 8 years.
Yeah better than usual but the way we limped out is putrid.

Side to side footy. Take the shackles off Burton and let him launch the torpedos

I’m already sensing a big win coming our way, let it rest a few days and we will be fired up again

Yeah we need to start buying/developing athletes. Big hearts in small bodies can’t compete against big hearts in big bodies

this season has been a great success. Cirro could lead us to a gf with 2-3 more class players, 2 of which need to be big middles.

Regardless it’s been an outstanding year. No one expected the Bulldogs to be a realistic chance for a top 4 spot in round 26.
They can’t beat Manly unless Turbo is out. Manly will again go through them like last week.
Goes to show the season is too fucking long. Should be 20 rounds and 2 byes.
Fucked up a few top 8 sides.
let's just see the outcome of tomorrows manly sharks game first. manly can still cop a few injuries/suspensions

He has to shake the team up a bit.

Curran to lock needs to happen if we are any chance.
