With Locky we got this

Well done this year Manly but this is the end for you grubby POS

I also hope Lockyer dies in a car crash

Jokes. Trolling, see how easy it is

No way, he'd be the one miraculously saving 5 people from the other car. With 2 broken arms and concussion!

 

[derp]

f**k Lockyer I hope He's infected with golden staph

 

[mongoose]

I can't see Lockyer playing this game, meaning Manly will be too strong in Sydney.

Manly by 10

 

[Mr Saab]

Have they even played them at the SFS?

Just what i thought. A 15 yr old kid with NFI

The BIG difference in this game is that this Manly side will have far more big game experience right across the board. A halves combination that in my opinion,will have the potenial to easily cut swathes through the Brisbane side. These semis are all about experience and Manly [and the Storm] have it in bucketloads. But Brisbane ,after this series,will be a better side for the experience for the next few years providing that this "salary cap" doesn't work the way its supposed to do. And as far as lockyer is concerned,lets hpe that if he does play,he doesn't go out like Grahame Langlands in the 1975 Grand Final....he doesn't ( and neither did Langlands) deserve that.

name them

I'm fairly sure he would be correct. Manly have more players left from 07/08 than we do 06.

 

[renouf]

Umm yeah, rookie half back and a 5/8 in his second full season of first grade up against Lockyer and Wallace..who have played countless finals games together.. I think we know who has more experience.

 

[ceagle]

B.Stewart
Robertson
Lyon
Matai
Galuvao
Ballin
Rodney
Kite
Watmough

Storm have alot of experience in finals? Apart from the big 3 who else is there that have experience?
Brisbane would be in the same boat as Melb for experience possibly

Lockyer
Thaiday
Parker
Wallace
Hodges
Hannant

 

[Mr Saab]

Gualavoa

Is that a drink?

 

[user_nat]

Scott Anderson "won" a grand final with Melbourne also.

 

[renouf]

Surely Manly are going to miss Glenn Stewart and Jason King.

 

[ceagle]

Nah, Galuvao has been in far better form then King this year, but we will miss Stewarts experience.

 

[blaza88z]

yeah I guess we're f**ked, the coaches experience will tell all

actually the pressure will be more on Hasler, I don't know what Manly has done with their week off but you'd think it'd be harder to keep a team focused over a span of 2 weeks then it would over a span of 6 days, particularly after flogging the Cowboys

Hasler has been through this 2 times already both times us prevailing in 2007 and 2008 with ease. He will know how to prepare the team.

Haha, you're a dunce.

 

[ceagle]

It will be hard for the Broncos to focus on the game over 6 days because they will probably me spending most of the time in the ice bath after that brutal match last night.
