I would say the Sea Eagles arn't dead yet, I'm sure I saw that corner post move, when it went upstairs. But I do think it is the year of the Storm after lossing the AFL Rupid needs Rugby Leauge to do well in Melbourne, Plus they have the best side on the park at the right time of the year. The Bulldogs are in trouble and it may be to late for them to recover, plus their past sins are still holding them back. Brisbane for me is the only danger, but coming into finals time they tend to think they are better than they really are, and if they do this again they may not make it to the final game. But if they see themselves as the underdog, they are a very great danger. I'd be listening to their talk, to see what they are saying about themselves.
As for me I hope Kennedys comeback is one to be remebered for a long time, Manly did ok down south and it could be enough to lift them to the level that they need to be at to be there on the last day.
