I call best coaching manouvre ever.
1. toovs said MP means SFA with no advantage as it used to be with top 5 scenario, says to me they were willing to let it slip if it was in their interests to do so.
2. we win tonight we most likely play the purple scum on Friday night, who in my opinion are playing the best out of all the teams in the semis, they were very unlucky not to get win over rorters, by losing we relagate them to bottom 4 effectively taking them out without playing them
3. we lose tonight we get extra 2 days to play on Sunday and also boost crowd support.
4. Snake could have played but was rested as he is our no1 asset in the finals, we struggled in last year finals until he returned - first it was rolled ankle, post match foz said he pulled up sore ( hammy?) then toovs said in the presser that he had a toe problem... clearly not everyone read the memo
5. we lose tonight vermin will think we are busted with uncertainty over stewart (cue mind games) and that they have already beaten us like last year ( cue choke)
6. vermin had way more physical game than we did and will play into our hands towards the back end of the semi.
7. vermin IMO would have risen to beat the rorters (to not lose 2 weeks in a row) if they had played next week leaving the potential of us facing rorters in the GF qualifier, i think our chance of beating the rorters is only if we face them in the GF where we would throw everything at them and be driven by last years loss
wishful thinking ... maybe , but in toovs shoes with all scenarios laid out,would you not do the best for the team that needs to be smart about jockeying for a position without a full team to play with?
here comes the manly are gooone articles while we wait for the ambush nicely under the radar.
time will tell ... cant wait for next week myself
