Manly v Melbourne GF 2017

[oval]

I predict that these two mighty clubs will again to battle for the prize this year.

Hopefully a repeat of 2008 rather than 2007.

Go Manly!

 

[Vic Mackey]

No, we suffered enough back in 07/08

 

[Henson Park Hornets]

That's the reason I didn't buy tickets yesterday when i had the chance as a member, would rather have a heart to heart with Buzz than watch Manly and Melbourne in the GF.

 

[RockWheel]

Is there a less inspiring grand final matchup?

 

[Valheru]

Finally, a thread to counter Albert's roosters one.

We are a chance again.

 

[Clifferd]

We need another manly v Melbourne final. There hasn't been enough

 

[King hit]

I'm think a Roosters V Storm grand final is on the cards

 

[footy75]

Storm v Broncos or Roosters

 

[Brutus]

Please no. We've been lucky the last 3 years with failytale stories and all that. Melbourne and Manly would be a horrible match-up. Put the Roosters in there with them as well. Parramatta v Brisbane would be ideal.

 

[Patorick]

I'm think a Roosters V Storm grand final is on the cards

Or Brisbane.

Nice idea for a thread though, appreciate the sentiment.

 

[Hawkins]

Yeah I'll let you have Manly as a mighty club

but Melbourne? go piss up a rope.

After reading this, nothing would make me happier than a Storm - Manly GF. The outrage would be unreal.

Melbourne, Manly, Brisbane and Roosters in the prelims.

Not going to happen this year. Next year....

Considering many had them tipped for the wooden spoon, the Sea Eagles have been pretty impressive. They showed flashes of it against the Eels and the Rabbitohs, but when they held the Cowboys out for all those sets in the second half of Round 3 you just knew they were a serious side this season. They've still got some inconsistensy about them and a couple of their players are nothing more than gap fillers but they're going to give this season a fair shake and if they play their cards right will be one of the teams to beat in 2018-19.

For all this talk about Gus, Bozo must be in the running for sainthood given the miracle he pulled off. Smart signing after smart signing, real impressive stuff from one of the smartest men in Rugby League. It just makes you wonder where it all went wrong for NSW?

I dislike Melbourne more than any other club, but they have been a dominant team for a fair while now, hence the word mighty.

That is utter bullshit Vic and you know it.










It was actually 06/07/08....

 

[Danny-Boy]

Melbourne, Manly, Brisbane and Roosters in the prelims.

I think it's pretty amazing that since 2006 there has only been 1 Grand Final (2014) that hasn't featured Manly, Melbourne, Brisbane, or Roosters.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Cronulla aren't going away just yet. Too many good players and heaps of big game experience.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Look Manly are going really well and they dusted us last weekend but I think their depth will really be tested if they lose a couple of players between now and the finals.

Also the side has quite a few players who haven't played finals football. So I definitely see them as a Club on the rise but I can't see them making the GF this year.

I really think it will be out of 4 sides with Melbourne a definite playing either the Broncos, Roosters or Sharks.
