Next assignment: NZ Warriors

[Brownie.Kougari]

I'm going to be so torn in this game, as long as one of these two teams wins the GF then I'm happy!

 

[Micistm]

Well I wish you Manly guys the best of luck; I'm nervous but happy regardless...if someone had said to me we'd be playing Manly for a spot in the GF a few weeks ago, I'd be stoked with that...awesome.
That said, the guys have hit form at the right time, and there's no reason why they can't give the Sea Eagles a run for their money this time. All the players back, playing well as a team with good form...they should be giving it their all.

The 'Manu' thing is a little rough, gone on ad nauseum by Aussie media. His shocker game was a horror game in the previous season, he's worked hard on his game and has came back brilliantly, and underestimated at other teams peril. It would be nice if some commentators over there would give him credit where it's due- But feel they will be bringing up his shocker game for the rest of his career.
Funny, they never mentioned Lockyers horror game again, his four knock ons in one test...

Well, pretty much the same. Obviously gutted to see my teams run finishe if it does, but if...I'll be cheering on you guys to take the Storm or Sharkies:crazy:

 

[Rovelli]

Manly is still in many NZ hearts for sure. There was a big connection between us and Manly in the late 80s/early 90s. We don't want Melbourne winning again, and we want to keep Cronulla the way they are. So hopefully the winner this week doesn't get too beaten up.

 

[t-ba]

We should win, but so should have the Storm, and really, the Broncos.

Very nervous, especially with Wade-O back.

 

[chileman]

This 'Manu being a liability' thing is a myth, for now.

Agreed!
Hohaia on the bench :-k

 

[ozbash]

dizzi dessi has been getting a fair bit of air-time on the local radio.

being very nice to the warriors, particularly wiki..

Haha tell him your sleeping with his Mum and he'll spit at you.
Wade-O gonno.

 

[KiWi_BoI_15]

We definately gotta watch for Wade-O sneaking in and around the ball carriers.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Hohaia will get plenty of time off the bench, and he'll be on a roving commission.

Until a Mattai shoulder turns roving into comatose.

 

[Micistm]

No doubt Matai will lift playing the Warriors, but we got some big hitters in our team too! ;-)

Obviously my bias is hoping for a win, but should be a cracker regardless, and I hope the best team wins rather than some **** controversy deciding it.

And I'll be partly gutted either way really, Both Wiki & Menzies so deserve to go out winners, unfortunately one of us will be disappointed...but as long as whoever wins takes the GF.

That said...Go the Warriors!!!!!;-)

Graham Lowe, Darrell Williams, Matthew Ridge, Kevin Iro, Tony Iro, Gene Ngamu, Craig Innes. At a time when there was lucky to be 1 Kiwi at each club.

Used to see Manly jerseys everywhere in NZ!

He debuted in 2001 or 2002 so spent a few years as understudy to Jones (who only left after 2005).

Back then we were known as Moari Warringah! (true story):lol:

The Manly/Brookvale area still has the second largest population of Kiwis in Sydney (#1 is Parramatta I believe). Maori Warringah indeed! :lol:

Until a Mattai shoulder turns roving into comatose.

Uh..last time he went for a killer hit in a league game didn't he get sent off?

 

[Dr Crane]

Go away.
