Manly Sea Eagles versus New Zealand Warriors
Predictions, opinions?
This is quite similar to last year's decider in that St. George (Manly) looked favourites for the comp and dead certs to make the Grand Final, while the Sydney Roosters (Warriors) hit form at the right time of the season, finished 6th and made the Grand Final.
Inevitably, predictions from "expert" pundits match last years. A lot are going with the underdog in the Warriors, but if anything can be learnt from last year, it's that form means nothing in a grand final - it's all about the day and who has more quality.
Manly will win. Warriors could lead early like the Roosters did last year, but as seen in that second half, St. George won the 40 minutes 26-0, to take it out to 32-8.
Funny side note though, imagine if Warriors win the NRL and then New Zealand don't win the Rugby World Cup!
