Write yourselves off before a match?

You think you'll make the GF cbowden?

Definitely. Perth are going through a purple patch (pardon the pun) at the moment but I honestly believe that Central Coast and Brisbane are a class above the rest of the league. I think, and hope, our class shines through as we deserve to be fighting Brisbane in the Grand Final again. Arnie and Ange both deserve the right to be playing each other again in the big one. No disrespect to Perth who are a great side on their day but like I said I think we're on another level, or at the very least our coach is.

 

Just to add, all the Roar fans were saying after the game tonight that they want us to beat Perth as it wouldn't be the same playing them. We've got this new rivalry going on where all the games between our teams are full of passion and entertainment, and it'd be a massive shame if Perth were to spoil the party.

Obviously Perth has every right to spoil the party.

All season I've agreed that CCM and BR are a class above but for the last couple of months CCM have slipped badly. If Perth win, they deserve the GF appearance.
