Well guys, the conclusion to week 1 is approaching soon and what a great way to cap off the week. Hopefully it's a repeat of last year's contest, a nailbiter, with the same result. Blake Lazarus is apparently on stanby for Benji Marshall and there is no news? coming out of Manly's camp. I can see Manly suffering big time from the loss of Orford, their organiser and structural half. I cannot see Foran stepping in and filling that role. The Tigers' organisation isn't much better however with Lui at 7. Although, whenever a team has such attacking geniuses as Robbie Farah and Benji Marshall, they'll be a chance to put points on no matter how poorly they are faring in the field position battle. The return of Lote Tuqiri and life after Orford will be the two big storylines coming into this highly anticipated match. Lukic's expert prediction: It'll be close, both teams have their claims to favouritism. The match could very well come down to a freak play from a Watmough, Farah, Marshall or Stewart. If Marshall is healthy, put your money on the Tigers by 1-13, if he's out, Manly by 1-13.
I tipped the tigers, lord knows why.... Manly still have a gun forward pack, it'll be close either way. Less than 6 IMO
