Pride v Dolphins.
I can't see a way the Pride don't win- a week off, playing a prelim at home after winning 38-0 week one. I don't even know how you could get a more perfect finals situation.
The Pride will pull out the game plan from the Falcons game, Dolphins are big too and the plan will be move them around. Pride changes angles and go to line to line and then back through the middle with flat attack.
Duffy will get them around and then Chester will come into 6 and run hard and straight. Once they are spread out trying to cover the line to line it will be the stuff dreams are made of through the middle.
Pride's defence is technically very good, they roll players on their back and dominate with great defence.
Backrow is all compact and short- ideal for tackling up and under the ball.
Norths v Hunters
Same situation as the Pride, won week one convincingly and playing at home again after a week off. That's a finals dream.
Norths just have so much strike and I think the Hunters will hit the wall. Norths strength is the dummy half- Moseley and now Christian are just too fast, and everything moves too fast for teams from their dummy half work.
Lipp will have an impact at some time.
Norths to play in their third Grand Final in four years.
