Stewart deserves to play in grand final, says Burgess

Manly back-rower Glenn Stewart has an important backer in his corner as he looks to be cleared for next Sunday's grand final - the player who was felled by him, South Sydney's Sam Burgess.
As Stewart sweats on the match review committee's viewing of his fourth-minute hit on Burgess in Friday's preliminary final, won 30-20 by Manly, the English forward hoped the Sea Eagles lock would be cleared.
''I hope he plays next week,'' Burgess said. ''I would hate for him to miss a grand final. I can't comment on the incident, but I wouldn't wish it upon anyone to miss a grand final. For his sake, I hope he plays.''

I dare say their game plan will revolve around rushing up on Snake, Chezza, Foz and Jamie with multiple tacklers, denying them any space to create anything. I hope Toovs has foreseen this and has a plan to take advantage of that in some way.

I have LOADS of confidence that the boys, with Snake now back, will improve on their performance against them 2 weeks ago. Go well boys!!!

Jennings limped off in the final minutes last night, not spoken about by the easts loving commentary team. He was bent backwards in a tackle. Anyone heard anything?

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

he will be ok apparently

Until Matai smashes the crap out of him.

I was confident we would win if we played Newcastle.. now I'm a bit worried. But we've played Roosters 3 times this year - we've learnt their game.

I'm devastated that I'll be working but the main thing is that I actually work at ANZ Stadium so I'll at least be there, trying to contain my excitement while giving out beers.

Excellent free beers for all Silvertails posters 😀

[manlyforever08]

Haha sadly that isn't the case!

Haha we don't find out til the day. But I'll have as much Manly gear on as possible - so that means lots of ribbons in my hair 😀 hopefully my bar has a TV.

Surely if someone whispers say "shoe" you'll give a freebie?

Lol I'm glad someone did, because I didn't. I did the same thing in 2011. When Glenn first got suspended I said he will get the Churchill medal and I didn't put anything on it. Hope it comes off for you mate 😉
