    I'm currently wondering how Manly and Newcastle get beaten 13+...
     
    One can get $1.80 on that not happening
     
    lochie, I just don't see the Roberts / Holdsworth ticket throwing too much at Newcastle...maybe

    Sign me up to the Titans @ 2.60 right now. And I'll be getting some of them at +6 if the line goes that far (line already gone from -4.5 to -5.5 on centrebet today), or if not then I'll buy the point to +6.5. No way should Brisbane be getting this much respect on the road, even if it is virtually down the road for them to travel. 

    Gold Coast have Delaney and Meyers returning and Rogers may also suit up. They've been waiting for this home final for a few weeks now and I just see this as outstanding value on the home side.

    And I hate to say it AB but I just don't see your boys getting over the Bulldogs here.

    Gold Coast have Delaney and Meyers returning and Rogers may also suit up. They've been waiting for this home final for a few weeks now and I just see this as outstanding value on the home side.

     agree, amazing for a side thats 11-1 at home to be catching a converted try against any opponent

    Other than the intangible of finals experience I can not see any reason why the Broncos should be favorites in that match. That line is a joke.

    And I hate to say it AB but I just don't see your boys getting over the Bulldogs here.

    Solid points you make mercurial regarding the Titans. It's their unpredictability that concerns me, although that could be said for any side in the 8 I guess.

    No need at all to apologise re the Knights mate, that's what we're all here for. I am however confident that Newcastle get over the Bulldogs on Saturday. I'd love to hear why you think they won't

    round 20. GCT 34, BRI 18 and this was without any of the Broncos half decent players. B. Hunt and Gorrel in the halves (what kind of play making is that?) i wouldnt expect any team to put up points with that pair let alone 18.
     
    Broncos are rolling right now and know how to get it done in the finals. i expect the broncos to cover -5.5

    I'd tread very carefully with that one, this current Broncos side is not even close to the one that rolled to the premiership in 06' from a similar position. This current Broncos side isn't even in the same class as the one that got edged out in the semis by Melbourne last year.

    Apart from patches against Penrith and the win against StGeorge, this current Broncos side hasn't produced premiership calibre football during it's late season revival. And the major glaring thing with me remains the lack of grunt and thrust in their forward pack.

    On the other side of the fence, this is a massive occasion for the Titans. Their first appearance in the NRL finals, and it's at HOME against the BRONCOS ! They will come at Brisbane so hard in this game, especially early. I can almost see Scott Prince putting someone through a hole for 6-nil before the Broncos have even had a chance to blink.

    This is a dream scenario for the Titans, going up against "big brother" at home (where they're 11-1 this season) in their first ever finals match and they're underdogs !

    would be quite a surprise to me if Manly were to win their second game in Melbourne in three weeks.

    Geography isn't the largest factor in this game imo; an important reason why the Graveyard grew in reputation was because the in-goal was short, field narrow and the weather always miserable.  Weather won't be a factor tomorrow night, and neither will the negative mindset that plagued visiting teams in Melbourne.  Even if the Storm construct a field with similar dimensions as Olympic, it won't be the ground that wins it for them.  Haven't settled on this match yet, but the location will only play a small role in my analysis - Manly are 6 - 6 on the road this year, and imo the Storm have lost a lot by playing at a 60% full, covered stadium.
