Not necessarily. Manly had no pressure on them whatsoever today. The came With a plan that they would push the boundaries with the refs... Slowing down, niggle. They had nothing to lose. The team we play next week don't have this luxury.

Michael Ennis has led the Sharks’ turnaround in 2015, writes Paul Kent
SOURCE : Fox Sports
Forget everybody else, Mick Ennis is the buy of the season.
Ennis leads the Sharks into Sunday’s qualifying final as the man most responsible for Cronulla’s turnaround this season, although a couple of flashy backs like Valentine Holmes and Jack Bird have also been significant contributors.
Yet Ennis is the standout.
Ennis went through something of an evolution this season.
He joined Cronulla as the same old Ennis the Menace. Everybody knew he would run out, get in the face of opposition players and drive them bat-crazy all game long.
He is a master of niggle and few realise how truly clever he is.
He is rarely abusive or offensive. He just finds a nerve, subtly exposes it, then spends the rest of the game slowly rubbing it until all tolerance is gone.
In pure football terms, the Sharks were always going to get good service out of dummy-half, strong defence in the middle, with each enough for Cronulla to improve from last year’s wooden spooners to a genuine top eight chance.
More than one believe that, short term, the Sharks got the better of the deal when Michael Lichaa signed from Cronulla to Canterbury midway through last season and, soon after, Ennis went from Canterbury to Cronulla.
Ennis is all that and more at Cronulla, though.
Where Hasler liked the ball being spun to the first receiver and most of the creative work coming one pass wide, Cronulla’s Shane Flanagan let Ennis return to his creative early days.
Ennis gets more dangerous the closer the Sharks get to the tryline. Inside the 10m, forget about it. Ennis has emerged as one of the game’s most dangerous dummy-halves with his ability to skip out of dummy-half on the opposition tryline and find a straight runner with a flat ball.
Luke Lewis looks for him every time.
He threw in a little adjustment against Parramatta a fortnight ago and worked the same play, but the short side.
Try time.
For Mick, whose career is built on hard work, that’s as cute as it gets.
He is more worried about being effective, knowing it’s not how you get the job done, just that you do.
Kind of like Cronulla, really.

Gee, is that Paul Kent actually writing a story about football on the field rather than off it? Didn't think he was capable of doing that.

Probably only doing it because he sucks up to Ennis on 360.

Total gronk
kent and ennis have a good relationship stemming back to his days with the dogs
when most media are calling him a grub, a pest and what not, kent sticks up for his mate

yep, he was sticking up for Gallen when he was doing his new contract too. Hard to listen to Kent about anything cos he looks after his mates and ****s everyone else up the arse.

Apparently hes got no carry over points just depending on loading.
For those who dont know how this works (like me), does that mean he plays if charged?
