NRL Finals Week 2

North Qld -1.5 @ 2.15 sportsbet North Qld with plenty of confidence coming into this game and they will use their forwards to batter Manly. No different to what Manly will do, as they too will look to soften them up, so not much between the two packs, but the fear for Manly is when, and not if, the Cowboys move the ball wide, then they are in trouble. Matai is out, and Lyon is looking likely to play injured, and with a calf injury, it is hard to push off, so can see Tate and Linnett getting around him. Morris easily got around Lyon last week to set up the opening for the Bulldogs and expect the Cowboys to direct traffic through Manly's make shift centres. The other problem for Manly is that they tend to lose their focus in the second halfs and with players like Bowen ad Thurston who can cut teams in an instant then believe the Cowboys have the players to win this one, and would not be surprised if they blow them out Record: 3-1 (+2.44)

North Qld -1.5 @ 2.15 :puke

Bull**** game where the Cowboys where robbed. Game was even until Manly were gifted with two tries by the video referee - "benefit of the doubt". More like a double movement and a knock on Souths - Canberra over 44.5 @ 2.15 sportsbet Souths have won 9 of their last 15 games to teams who did not make the top 8 but lost 5 of these to teams who did make it. Like the Raiders, who have won 6 straight to target them out wide with Ferguson and Earl out wide, and some of their bigger and more mobile forwards like Papali targeting the Souths centres and wingers as not too confident in them in defence. In return, with Croker out, like Taylor to target Thompson's mobility out wide, as he has moved from the forwards to the centres for this game. Souths beat them 36-18 during the season, and thought they have struggled to put up points since there last few games, like them to bring some spark back in this must win game while Canberra have scored 34+ points in their last 3 games and have scored 40, 36, 20 and 42 points in their last 4 road games against the likes of Melbourne, Cronulla, Penrith and the NZ Warriors Record: 3-2 (+1.44)
