Official team v Manly - oh my god

[Penrose Warrior]

why because he doesnt speak english?

I thought it was Inu he didnt speak to?

Someone led us to believe it was someone in the squad currently. I have heard murmurs it's someone who rhymes with Bluey, but isn't Ukuma-ooey.

But in Mr Ta'ai's case, there was a certain issue with a wrecked hotel room in Australia on a Vulcans trip, for which a lesser known player was axed from the club. So perhaps these things all are kept in the memory bank.

That side just reeks of planning for 2013... Saturday is going to hurt.

:lol:
Planning for a career as a Mr Whippy driver, more like it.

 

[Drzoidberg]

.......WOW, just WOW

 

[Aragorn]

This is what happens when you have the U20 coach whispering sweet nothings into Bluey's ear all week and sitting next to him in the coaching box....

 

[Alan Johnson]

Well someone has to play Manly into form.

 

[jamaman]

I can see Manu dropping balls, fumbling his usual way and every staring at him thinking.... Warriors captain? FMD.

I wonder how many times he say "for sure"

 

[Mr Angry]

I heard there is a guy walking around Auckland yelling "My Kingdom for an Inu"

Is this true?

 

[Micistm]

Y'know, I'm kinda tempted to put a lazy 10 on...because it looks so crazy and impossible that is sometimes they pull something freakish outa their arse...

But honestly, 9.30 start...bets on when fans will switch off? 9.37 perhaps...?
Want to stay positive but think there'll be more jolly rogering by Manly than a Pirates convention

 

[NZ Warrior]

Come on, chaps! Why so negative???

We're gonna win! WE CAN DO IT!!!

 

[vvvrulz]

Manu Vatuvei under an injury cloud is our captain.

That is all.

I like your sense of optimism NZ Warrior. Its refreshing to read!

 

[Aragorn]

Given Manu's wing position, I think he might tire having to run in all the time from out wide to speak with the refs ... i can already see him huffing and puffing screaming "hang on ref, I need to speak you about that call.... sorry, I'm so slow ref..... ref.... ref wait a minute!!"

ref to Manu " learn how to catch a ball before you come speak to me son.... or better yet, play as a forward where you belong "

its 5.30 here in sydney so shouldnt be 7.30 in nz

Or is that 5.30 in Perth?

According to http://www.wafootball.com.au/patersons-stadium the 'bouncedown' is at 5pm WA time. :lol:

Haha I like it- may as well roll the dice- we weren't goin anywhere fast anyway. The backline looks alot stronger than last weeks and that's where we got dusted- who knows, the kids might get up for a game. Reminds me of the baby blacks in 87.
Can't wait to see ikahihifo get a run. Manu as captain? Well it's gonna be boom or bust.
This would have to be the youngest nrl side of all time.

 

[Aragorn]

Warriors get penalized for being inside the 10m… Manu runs in from the wing to speak with the ref… big grin on his face… “aw ref… come on bro? we were 10….”

Ref looks at Manu thinking “clown, get back on your wing….” and penalizes him an extra 10M ……. would be hilariously funny if i saw that happen.... and then scan to Bluey with his head in his hands and Ackland comforting him.....

As to the team, with Mannering injured, it's probably close to the best line-up we can put out (though my brain is pretty dead right now, so i could be overlooking some options). But, i'm not looking forward to Lyon destroying Brown. I just hope that Packer and Matulino play big minutes.

 

[Skinner]

Come on, chaps! Why so negative???

Thank God (and Wazz) for some positivity here.

This could be the master stroke they have sought since '95.........maybe.

 

[ozbash]

This is a masterstroke !

Who'd have thought eh ?

Welcome aboard Capt Manu - Super hero.

Actually....seriously, I think you are pretty close to the mark there (although that bench does look scarey)
