Over the past year we won more games than them (including finals), as well as over the past three, four and five years. Over the past two years we've won as many games as Manly.

They are scary stats. It just means that if they get a clear run with injuries, they are a better team and very hard to beat.

Huh? In 2019 we won 14 regular season games and finished on 30 points. Manly also won 14 regular season games and finished on 30 points. https://www.nrl.com/ladder/ We won 1 finals game. Manly also won 1 finals game. That equals the same amount of wins. How did we win more games than them in 2019?
In 2018 they won 1 more game than us. So over the past 2 years they have won more games than us.


That's even scarier.

Why do you assume they ever will?

Well generally teams do get a good run in regards to minimal injuries, but you are right, they may never do. But if they did I rate them very highly and would quickly be the team to beat with the Roosters and Storm.

Are you still talking about Moanly?
If so, injuries haven’t really been their problem outside Trrfcigdsevic and Korisau. What will decide if they do any good is whether the likes of Fonua-Blake, Sironen, Fainu, Suli and Garrick have established their respective playing levels or whether last season was flash in pan for them

Happened to a mate of mine in our final year of High School. An absolute weirdo started stalking him and stole his Calvin Klein undies from the clothes line.

During school the same merkin got busted carrying a school bag full of used condoms. I still remember afterwards where the weirdo was having a conversation with someone else and I was making wank gestures in the background. Old mate was cracking up and the weirdo was saying "what, what?".

After school he got in shit with the cops for borderline kiddnapping his dopey girlfriend and later for impersonating a policeman. Not sure what he is doing many years later. Probably dead or in jail.

Yes and their injury told was significant especially during the Semis.

Tom Trbojevic, Curtis Sironen, Joel Thompson, Taniela Paseka and DCE had an ongoing ankle injury. Not to mention Martin Taupau being suspended.

If we had that kind of injury toll during the semis how do you think we would have fared?

Depends if our opponents took us lightly or not. Also how well the backups performed. We went better in Melbourne in the 2017 finals with a worse team than the one that got belted down there last year.
