I remember that game, it was the Rabbitohs and the Broncos. I can understand why you wouldn't remember it too well, those teams seam to attract the most angst from Manly fans. 
Surprised by the low-scoring affair in the Storm-Dragons game tonight, I thought the commentating was funny. Gus in particular was ripping into St George and praising Billy Slater the entire night up to about the last 10 minutes when somebody reminded them that St George could still win it off a lucky try. One of the anomalies of the game where the score doesn't really reflect the match that was played before us.

The Dragons n Storm was a good game, unfortunatly the Dragons have gone in the wrong direction at the wrong time of the year..........they may not even make the top 8 the way they're going
Manly will flog the Storm, just like the 40-0 GF win a few years ago....the biggest win in GF history 
GO MANLY 
Level 3
The Dragons will make the 8, the only way they wouldn't is if the Knights defeated both the Broncos and Bulldogs but lost to the Rabbitohs, the Rabbitohs won their remaining games against the Broncos and Knights, AND St George lost their remainders to the Warriors and Panthers. Any deviation from that and St George are in.
Level 3
On a point about the Dragons, it's bad news for them but even worse for NSW. With so many Dragons involved in Origin this year, and it would've been more had it not been for injury, losing the series the way they did would've had an impact, and it's lead to this. But in less than 12 months time, the Dragons may not even be the form team of the competition anymore (not that they are now). We could well see the Knights become what the Dragons were in year 1 - defensive resolve, not a great deal in attack but that'll come later - and the Dragons could slide back to their pre-Bennett days.
For NSW, for whom change is the enemy, how do you pick a side with a large volume of players from one club who aren't even the best in the competition anymore? Do you suddenly draft a lot of Knights players to help you out? It's scary when you think that NSW won't get two games in Sydney until 2014, and the team may undergo a drastic reconstruction in the process.
