Manly have had our number this season. Probably the bunnies for me.

Wouldn’t it be Souths vs Bronx/Parra?

I agree with my mate PJ. Who cares. Despite our record at home this year, we will get it done.

Is it confirmed we play the winner of Souths Manly/Sharks?

I think we've got it, but I'd still prefer not to play Manly.

Couldn't care less, couldn't give a ****.
It'll be a tough game and we'll need to play very well to win it. And that's exactly what we'll do.

Cant win a comp by ducking good teams. We just gotta beat whoever we come up against. All roads likely lead to the roosters if you wanna win the grand final. That means we gotta be able to beat everyone

I think Souths are the toughest out of that lot, so I want them. Then I want the Roosters in the final and I hope they play just as well as they did on Friday night. Leave zero questions that we are the best team in this **** competition

Definitely the bunnies... of all the teams left I believe they are the only team we have a better winning percentage against. Sharks and Manly are just grubby and know how to beat us.... I dont fear the rabbits, we'll make stew of them.

Definitely Souths. Manly will spoil the **** out of us. That said, I can't see Souths winning - Manly seem to have too many tricks up their sleeve.

I think we owe Manly one after their last win against us at Bruce. But won't be easy regardless of who we play. Let's see what happens.

I would rather win against whichever team makes it.

I fear no one. If Manly want to come back in here and try and win off an 8 point, 100 metre intercept try. Best of luck to them
We're a better team than everyone left in the league bar the roosters, and you give this squad a chance to make history, ill back them in.

We play the winner of Souths and Manly. Not much difference to us whichever it is.

That’s not possible. There’s just no way that people watching would consider a losing team as having played as well as they did on Friday.

In the history of NRL we have a 38% winning record against Manly, we have a 60% record against Souths. I think I know who Id rather be playing. Never underestimate the power of a hoodoo.... take the sharks and manly for example.... manly were a million to 1 to win tonight, but the simple fact of the "hoodoo" got them over the line.
I know theres the argument that to be the best you gotta beat the best.... but its been 25 loooooooooong damn years since our last title, so u cant blame me for saying that i want a game we can WIN.... and we can WIN against the bunnies, like i said before, traditionally they are a team that i dont really fear.

Bunnies.
We should have beaten them at home this season, but for Papalii hitting the posts.
I am worried about our home form.

We'll beat Manly if they come in here and we do our job. We're a better football team than any coming into our building. Do our job, forget the nonsense and play footy... and we're off to the big one and any given sunday.

This. Doesn't matter if it's Manly or Souths. They're losing.

Just want to see Melbourne come back and beat Roosters so we play them in the GF.

I think it's under 4 and they have to sit on your lap. I don't see why it would change but best to ring the club.
