A pity Tof didn’t play for cronulla then. May have been able to play his 100th.
Consistency is overrated.

Nicho was a clesnskin , I’d suggest that made a big difference
So in summary, the NRL had charged Nicho with a grade 2, worthy of a 1 week ban.
Then backflipped to a grade 1 charge because the injured player apparently isn't as injured as first thought according to the Bulldogs medicos....allowing Nicho to play.
This doesn't seem fraught with potential buggery by the clubs / NRL at all does it?
Would the Doggies have let on that their player wasn't that badly injured if they were facing the Sharks again this week?
Would the Doggies potentially prefer to play the Sharks, not Roosters later in the finals, thus releasing this info.
And haven't we been previously told that the injury doesn't determine the punishment?
Fk me drunk, the NRL find new and exciting ways to undermine their own comps integrity year after year after year.

Let’s all have a chew!
I reckon Dogs out in straight sets - which will see them 0-3 in finals under Gus Ciraldo.
And remember we lost to the Titans & Newcastle
I’m afraid the Chaser has more to answer for than most , these were the games where he really really “ phoned it in “.
Three future Manly players in Fogarty, Hetherington, and Blake Wilson, all named to play this week. Blake Wilson might drop out however, as Kiraz is on the Dogs' extended bench.
That'll be Friday at 7:50pm for Storm vs Bulldogs, and Sunday at 4:05pm for Raiders vs Broncos, if you're only interested in watching Manly players lol.

We definitely don’t get this chance with West Tigers players
Good experience for them , cannot hurt can it .

Sharks will absolutely hammer the Roosters 20+
Raiders will destroy the Broncos mark my words.

It’s funny , I’m going the exact opposite 🤷🤷🤷
I hope you’re right mate
Here's my finals rating on a tolerance level from best to worst.
1. Warriors - we beat them in 2011, never done us harm except for Johnston's acting last year.
2. Sharks - we beat them in GF 1973 and 1978 plus many other finals
3. Raiders - we beat them in 1987
4. Panthers - I know 4 GF wins but the only damage to us was back in 2017 semi final ,1985 play-off for 5th
5. Broncos - I know , they're Qld trash but they haven't beaten us in a GF yet.
6. Canterbury- 1995 GF cheated us out of it.
7. Storm - cheated us out of 2007 but we smashed them in 2008.
8. Scum sucking rorters - most hated disgusting cheating filth in the game. Cheated us out of 2013 GF , stolen premierships, at least we beat them in 1972.

Yeah it's going to be interesting. I can't fault the Raiders as they have been the benchmark all season but the pressure will be on for them to contain the Broncos for sure
The main reason I think the Raiders is purely as it’s at their home.
If it was at Suncorp , absolutely the opposite.

Damn Broncos win or lose win go to Suncorp for the next match which is a worry!
Rails run for them ( are you surprised )

Not at all! ☹️
Making the GF and losing I'd love, but win and I'd have to leave the state.
