The club is hopeful, he's got 2 weeks so there's a good chance. Moa gets two weeks to rest his knee and JWH & Cordner make their comebacks back. We're really shaping up nicely. Losing that game would've killed our season imo, this break is so important to us purely for the fact that we can now have a fit Moa & Cordner back in our major semi.
True. Huge bonus to have the week off when you have injuries/suspensions. If Easts had lost this game, they would've been facing a monumental task to even make the GF let alone win it. They're in equal box seat now. Still gotta beat the defenders premiers though.
I'll lose a load over the chooks if they end up winning the comp (or hell, make the final) but I've still got massive questions over Pearce and Maloney stepping up in big games. Sure, they kept Manly scoreless - very impressive, but they scored 1 try themselves. They'll need to play their best football of the year if they want to win the comp.
Scoring one try had nothing to do wit their ability to create opportunities. Rather getting out of our own end and dominating some field position. Losing our two starting front rowers had a lot to do with that.
