The Run Home: Winterbottom makes Grand Final predictions

Yeah, I'm going well.

I thought the Gold Coast was fantastic.

I really couldn't pick who was going to go through and who was going to miss out.

I thought Jack LeBrock, which I don't want to seem unfair, but I thought he would be one of the ones that would drop out.

But Ryan Wood and Kai Allen, they were two surprises for me in particular.

I thought they were a good chance to get in.

I still thought Ryan Wood was going to go on and get through on Sunday, but it just shows these finals.

You honestly cannot choose or pick who is favourite to go through.

So a couple of big names out, a couple of just scraped through with Deepa Squally and Cam Waters there but the fight continues but the weather conditions the higher risk of the Gold Coast circuit I thought really showed its hand and kind of showed how hard these finals are because like I said I thought any of those top 10 could have got through but weather luck, reliability mistakes, they play a big part and it cost Kai Allen in particular and Woody, he was a good story point for Sunday.

He just missed out.

Frosty, let's just hit straight into it.

Team orders, yes or no?

I love it.

I think it's great.

I love the fact that teams can play that role.

We've all been there and I know there's rules in the sport about manufacturers and all that sort of stuff.

I get all that, but I love the team play and people are still learning this final system pace.

I think normally in the traditional championship, They've always played a role, but hasn't played as big a part as it does in finals.

And Ryan Wood last year, he was the pioneer, the Minister of Defence, they called him, and he helped Chas Mostert massively.

So it was his turn to cop a little bit of help.

You know, I think Chas backed off, what, 11 seconds to get in there and help him.

It didn't get him through, which end of the day, a teammate can help.

They're not going to crash into someone or manipulate the result.

They're going to get there and support the teammate.

And Chas did that really well.
