Congratulations Manly fans.

No one would have beaten you guys yesterday. The team simply didn't turn up and you guys rightfully towelled us for it.

Congrats, enjoy it and see ya next season.

I am glad I got to see the last 10, got to Menzies & Bells try live!!!! Just watched the highlights on foxsports news. Robbo's first try looked very lucky to be awarded from what I saw.

You need to get some new friends/family. GF day weddings are criminal.

Anyway, good to see the trophy back in Sydney, but ffs why can't we get a close game between these two on the big day. 2 fizzers in 2 years

That caps off a great year for manly. people knocked manly, they cant win without monnas, they cant win with orford, orfrod chokes, lyon is crap and is not a 5/8 (to be fair I didnt think he was a 5/8 either until this years form), matai is injury prone and is caught out in D and he'll get suspended half the time (0 suspensions and didnt miss any game I think after coming back from surgery at the start of the year), perry is useless, nsw ignoring manlys players claims (kite in particualr was galling considering nsw have no depth or quality in the front row and he had played for australia a few months before!, and also stewart benched for gidley) but this shows all those people wrong.

And for the world cup plenty of manlys players had better be picked, otherwise im calling shennanigans. last year orford and watmough were in line for australia but a poor game so melbourne counterparts take them. well, glenn stewart should be guarenteed a spot somewhere, starting I believe. kite will be there as he is encumbent. stewart should be there, orford probably wont be but I would not be surprised if he is, watmough deserves a shot now after impressing this year, as does perry. and others the mix like the woflman and robertson have done themselves no harm and wouldnt look out of place, although they are longshots. If players like dallas johnson and quinn or turner make the squad over manlys counterparts after selectins last year I will be fuming.

oh... and BEEEAVER! YES!!!!!!!! CHAMPION!!!!!

That was awesome, great day to be at the footy especially if you were a Manly fan. Was fantastic to see the results of so much work. Have no idea what happened to the Storm.

I do agree with Des though, we are still under the radar.

Congrats to the Manly team for a red hot finals series culminating in the biggest Grand Final winning margin of all time , in the end Manly hit their peak at the right time whilst Melbourne started to stagger during the last couple of weeks of the season and continued to struggle in the finals .
Manly are deserved Premiers for 2008 , both teams will be up there again in 2009 .

havent congratualted you guys yet..

so congrats on a truly wonderful performance

i think the first 5 minutes really shocked the Storm, you guys ripped right through them

tire their forwards and work them over early on and then unleash... seems simple tbh ;)

congrats again
