What are we thinking....?

Manly have had the wood on the Warriors in recent times...

IMO, alot will come down to Manu, if he has a shocker, the eagles will win, if he plays well, i can see the Warriors just getting up...

Strange for a winger to have so much influence, but i suppose it is what it is...

The $2.50 looks very tasty

Clear win from Manly, the warriors almost fluked their way in. Sure they played well but compared to Manly they really don't deserve to be there.

I'm sure they could upset which is why its only $1.50 on Manly but imo thats pretty unlikely given Manly's players coming back and their amazing performances against teams much better than the Warriors, Storm (when they didn't suck dick), smashed the cowboys, and beat the Broncos (who should have been in the final but the cards didnt fall that way....)

Anyway, that's just my opinion. It's not gonna be right every time!

Will most likely be all over the Warriors ML and points. 5.5-6 line says a lot. Probably be 6.5 come gametime. I'd say they'll be more support at the SFS for New Zealand than there will be for the Silvertails. Manly barely beat the Lockyer-less Broncos if you look hard at the match. You'd have to think the Warriors hefty loss in their first finals match at Suncorp was a bit of smoke and mirrors given the occasion for Lockyer. Not sure any teams would have beaten the Broncos up there in that situation including Manly. Historical concern being that the 'fairytale' team doesn't have much success in the big game. Eels in 09 and Chooks last year made incredible runs to the GF only to get belted but there is too much 'value' in the Warriors to pass up for mine...

Manly are one team that are able to combat one of the Warriors key strength which is physicality in the forwards. They won't get roughshod like the Storm or Tigers did.

Manly by 13+, think this is going to be an anti climax

Another point is experience, other than the halves for Manly most of the team have played in 2 grand finals before.

My suspicion from a purely betting pov is Manly is paying too much hth to romp. To get that tasty price for a straight win delivered to you on a platter? Regular season maybe.

My suspicion from a reality pov is why do the Aussie administrators of the NRL want a NZ team winning their comp? I'd expect the 50-50 calls to go the way of Manly.

Most of Australia is cheering for the NZ Warriors in this game

^^maybe, but most of Australia doesn't administer the sporting code that is the NRL.

... The game isn't at the SFS. It's at the ANZ stadium (ten miles  west) which is the place where Sydney Olympics were held back in 2000.

btw Warriors under 20's are also in the Grandfinal against Cowboys in Toyota Cup, which means the entire Warriors Club are coming to town with two teams in grandfinals, being played back to back. The NZ fans will be revved up big time... crowds themselves will be doing the haka.... Warriors fans are guaranteed to outscream the Manly fans..... big time!

Two problems with people's comments in this thread.

1: Manly have the experience needed to win except the halves. That's a pretty big exception considering they run the game.

2: Warriors don't deserve to be there?... Coming from nowhere to beat the Tigers then dismantling the prem fav's in Melbourne...

Oh please.

Yep 3 from 3 from NZ!!!!

All 3 grand finals being played back to back starting 12 noon Sydney time!! 

Looking at u36.5 for the NZ V Manly game.

Also O/U not released for NZ V Cowboys!
I think NZ will thrash the Cowboys into oblivion!

I don't have a take on Auckland game..

I like the unders. Hope 20's do, but Cowboys are the only side that have size like the Warriors so could be close

Vulcs will win if they have Brett Seymour and Berrigan playing. Will find out for you

Only Seymour playing, but lineup looks good. Dogs stacked their team with NRL players but will be a close game

Be careful...

Last year EVERYONEs under got fucked cause the referees gave 3 tries that should NEVER have been allowed, unless they were taking orders from the TAB

Roostos has a point last year GF was a joke with some of the tries given and that may well happen again.
