They are sitting at 11/1...Juicy odds for mine given the odds of every other team...

They have quality forwards, a good halfback, good hooker and an explosive feedback. Whats the saying that this is all you need for a good team?

Hmmm

(Don't worry, I'm on the dogs as well) :lol:
After tonight..... yes.

If they beat us next week I'll call a Storm vs Sea Eagles decider..... but I'm actually on a Storm/Doggies GF.

My word i thought he choked in Melbourne but only in the F-I-N-A-L-S as i've stated many many times. He was by far my favorite player down here but even i couldn't deny his performances. I love my team, but i'm not that one eyed that i'm blinded to when one of our players has a shocker. As for him being a choker now, again i never called him that because he's had a very good season.

I'm not even saying he'll choke in this years finals because i don't know that as i'm not a f**king claivoyant. But i do have eyes and i know that his fianls series for Melbourne were for the most part very ordinary.

As for Inglis, he sure did play this last year. He played a total of 13 games and scored 7 tries. He was getting the wraps and we knew what the kid could do down here, it's just that nobody took any notice of the Storm up there last year and you finally woke up to how good he is this year.

You didn't even know if Inglis played last year which pretty much sums up how much you know about the Storm. Yet at the same time you're so adament Orford never choked in our finals series. Could that be because he plays for the Eagles now and you don't like hearing that about him? How can you be so sure about this Orford issue when you never even had a clue who Inglis was? Just in case you never knew, Glen Lazarus doesn't play for us anymore :lol:

Sorry to tell you, but Melbourne choked not Orford. They are known for it, unfortuntley you don't have Orford to lay the blame on this time. I wonder who it will be this finals series? The Dragons choke in the Finals as well, except their Fans know it is not one single players fault. Do you get it? If you rely on just one player to lift whilst the rest of the team takes it easy, then you are F???d.

An unbiased assesment. You would have said the same thing if Manly was in the Grand Final leading by 20 with 5 minutes to go.

All i can say to that is that i hope to hell we play your team in the finals. Everyone has been writing off our forwards all year but apparently your greatest forward pack of "all time" are 4 wins behind us KNOB! :lol:

Matt Orford will not win Manly a premiership. They will bow out in week 2, as Melbourne did 3 years running with Orford. He can not handle pressure at the business end of the season. So much of a teams attack revolves around him that if you can shut down his time with the ball, the team will lose.

Please selectors, do not select him for the Tri Nations if you want to win the trophy. A half fit Thurston is a better option.

Prophetic statement that. Manly fans are in for some heartache over the next few years.
