moved south at start of year for work and a change of scenery then got called back by Reds due to heap of injured hookers. He then made his mark when he got his chance in the reds.

Manly have lost 4 in a row with losses to Wests, Hunter, the Rats and Gordon. Unless there is an injection or rep players, I can't see them winning from here. Norths have been the most consistent team and are probably favourites. I think anyone in the Top 8 could win but it will be much harder from the bottom 4 needing to win 4 big games in a row.

It won't be the Woodies. We've played our season, I fear.

We won, but the Two Blues gave us a touch up for 60 minutes, played out of their skins.

The game will be played at the Two Blues home ground (Eric Tweedale Stadium) way out in the western suburbs. Us Woodies are right at home there, its our neighbourhood. The posh private school types from the Far East will be dreading the trip.

Yep, typical of the primitive conditions they will face. Where will the loyal supporters find a decent G & T????

Imagine they get Hooper and Gleeson in the same backrow.

Norths and Uni likely to earn a week off.
Can the Beasties do the same damage on a softer Eric Tweedale turf pitch over the faster astro Woollahra Oval?
Gordon to nudge the Rats who will miss Ben Woollett immensely.

If Charlie Gamble plays, YES. BTW the Woodies have lost two of their most important players, the captain Tom Murphy, and Cameron Boon. Our lineout will be in trouble. On the other hand, Easts look to be in trouble in the scrum. Eastwood leading at lemons 12 - 10.

Matt Lucas and Langi Gleeson on for Manly with 35 to go. Norths leading 20-9

Not going to name names but a few shameful efforts by the Marlins on that game-winning Cameron try. Be hard to look your teammates in the eye after that.
How does Gleeson not start - what were they thinking???

Stunning win by the Woodies. Cannot believe the two sides played at Woollahra a few weeks ago.

Manly should have deployed Gleeson earlier, hardly touched the ball. Ran through Norths to score with his first touch like they were a bunch of schoolboys.
