I thought Pierre Hola was playing 2s at the moment and was more of a prop.

Yeah but he has ball skills!
Sam V has got little to recommend!
Edit: obviously Blake is determined not to be over powered in any position across the park.

Have Manly lost a game in recent memory that wasn't down to poor refereeing, intercepts or the bounce of the ball? Ffs

You lose because yo don't win.
The only complaints I've made about refs this year is in reference to them impacting both sides - it is a difficult job - and even players get constructive criticism.
Bounce of the ball - yep we can all have one of those days.

Dispensation would have been requested by the Wallabies/Tahs management. This is perfectly fine.

I may have read this wrong, but they may not need to apply for dispensation if they have been on representative duties and registered for the club for the past two years. I think all mentioned above would satisfy this requirement.
I dont think the Wallaby squad members will be able to play. Seems illogical to risk injury the week before a test match when a player has already been struck with injury at training.

Eastwood seemingly very strong in all grades - Weren't they minor premiers in 4th grade (as well as second)?

Eastwood,manly and Uni are still alive in every grade.
The Rats are alive in 3's & 4's,but both their 1'& 2's were knocked out last week,so no stacking there.
That leaves only Gordon in 2's that could possibly have stacked their team.

Gordon are very strong in 2's, as shown in the defeat of Uni last week. They have had his team for most of the season, so I think a decision was made early to target this grade. They will certainly give Manly a tough game on Sunday and the outcome is not a given. In saying that I think Manly will win - their forward pack is playing well and the majority have been together most of the year. Their back line this week is outstanding with Daruda, Treweek, Greer, Hooper and Hartman the main attacking points.
In the other game Eastwood will overcome Uni.
My predictions for GF's are
1st Grade - Manly v Eastwood ( Manly for the win)
2nd Grade - Manly v Eastwood (Manly the win)
3rd Grade - Sydney Uni v Eastwood (Uni the win)
4th Grade - Sydney Uni v Eastwood (Uni the win)

3rd s If Warringah play like they did last week they should win well.
No chance. Although a number of 2s players have had time in 1s throughout the year, Gordon 2s side have had a fairly unchanged side. Gordon 1s had a very strong finish to the season (big wins over Norths & Easts, close losses to Uni and Randwick and a draw with Souths) so no chance of stacking 2s here. Last week's win V Uni was great but scrappy, both Gordon 2s & Uni 2s will have to play far better to have wins this week - how about the 1st grade experience in Manly 2s..... Up the Highlanders.

Sorry, didn't mean to infer Gordon have stacked their team.
I was attempting to demonstrate that stacking is not an issue this year.
Gordon 2's have been strong all year
