Manly the new benchmark

[t-ba]

Thanks NRL.com :roll: .

Nice timing, espacially when they have to travel up to brisbane for an FNF match in front of 30k+ Banana benders screaming for thier Blood :roll: .

Couldn't this article have waited for just a week?

physicians, just wait for Friday the boys will flog the Broncos.

The Dragons have now been dethroned as the benchmarks. :shock:

Only If Ricky Says so.

I think the NRL website has more authority than Ricky.

We're suddenly very cocky.

Manly benchmark - LOL. Flogged and injury ravaged Souths and they think they are specials! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Where has a Manly official or player stated that they think that Manly are the benchmark?

It was just rabble written up by nrl.com ffs...

And the Roosters came out and beat the Dragons. What was the score again?

I know but someone has to defend Manly, and finaly some help. Tezza wanted to play against the Bunnies but the medical staff wouldn't let him.

Was that the physicians or the psychiatrists?

Your a Parramatta fan right? i dont think your in any position to laugh.
And where the F*** did Manly say they were the benchmark? It is just a media beatup, teams like Broncos and Cowboys are the benchmark.

I'm tipping Manly to beat the Broncos. I think it'll be close at halftime but Manly will break away to win by 20.

Manly are the benchmark at Brooky. Not many teams are gonna come away with a win from there anymore.

The Wheels will fall off soon.

maybe maybe not, but they are on top of the table so deserve some credit surely..............

its a long season , so we will enjoy it while we can,
Manly have answered nearly all the challenges that have been thrown at them so far, the big test will be friday nite in Brisbane, that will be a huge challenge

that's just cruel r&b!
how could you do that to the manly fans?

 

[RABK]

:lol:

 

[Biscuits]

the bye? thats not a big issue. Msot teams this yr win coming off the bye.
Roosters were the better team vs the dragons.
Manly were hammered by the dragons.
Manly with matai and stephenson and hicks are not scary.

Only 2 from 6 teams have backed up after the bye to register a win so far this season. Canberra had the bye first round so that shouldnt even count. Its just like starting the season a week later rather than having a week off that breaks momentum. The other side was the tigers beating the dogs by one point.

 

[c_eagle]

ugh.. :roll:

It's just a newspaper headline, this isn't what the club and rational Manly fans actually think.

Ignore Lotti, just another spamming idiot.

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

I think we are playing good footy. But benchmark? No. Who would actually want to be labelled that?

Good luck to R&B... I can see the Knights getting up for their first win this weekend. Should be by about 20.

Now in 2005's seventh round, Manly is the second best defensive outfit, conceding less than 20 per match.

3rd best actually

1st Sharks conceding 17.33 per game
2nd Storm conceding 17.75 per game
3rd Sea Eagles conceding 19.67 per game


but who's counting ;-)

how could you do that to the manly fans?

that's Manly at it's best, lull the other team into a false sense of security then whamo we put on a tryfest.

Manly have gained some credibility after some good form thus far, but I would say the Bronco's are the Bench mark after 7 rounds and we will see where Manly are at on Friday night.
I wish the game was on Sunday though.
