Prelim vs. Manly Discussion + Votes

[Big Pete]

Will Locky play?

Will Thaiday's return boost the boys?

Can Manly turn their second forty into a full eighty against the Broncos?

We'll find out on Friday in what should be a historic game.

Win or Lose this game means a lot! We made it to the semis! WD everyone at the Bronx

Yep I am very pround of the boys not many expected us to make the 8 let alone be in week 3 of the finals. But I must say now that we are this close to sending out locky a champ like he is I would love to see us push on and meat our number 1 enemy over the years the storm in the grand final.

 

[renouf]

Lockyer is now saying he will wait until Friday to make a call.. how is that not going to disrupt the teams preparation? I really hope it's not all just a smoke screen.

 

[The Crane]

Yeah, big smoke screen I think.

I am very proud already, but would hate to see another Manly-Storm GF.

I am still confident (if Locky plays), but if Broncs can't get up, then please Warriors pull something out of your bag of tricks.

As a Warriors supporter I don't think theres a team I like to face in the GF more than the Broncos, given the history between our clubs. Best of luck for the game against Manly, and hopefully we'll see you next weekend.

I would love a rematch vs the warriors. Would be just like 2005 when the cows were smashed in week one vs the tigers and then they played again 3 weeks later.
I would also love a Warriors vs NZ GF to piss the NSW people off.

 

[Patorick]

Manly have never beaten Brisbane in a finals game...

Hmm :sarcasm:

Haha that would probably anger a lot of people... Warriors Vs Warriors Toyota Cup...

Manly have never beaten Brisbane at the SFS...

Warriors vs Broncos

 

[renouf]

they're really going to lengths to get Locky down here. Apparently hes on a helicopter!

 

[user_nat]

Hopefully he arrives at the stadium in the chopper. Might as well go all out at this point.

He needs to parachute down just before kick off.

 

[Cagey Mac]

So
A one town team
The only publicly listed club in the NRL
Loads of money
Spoiled rotten with all the advantages others would kill for
But the courage to retain a novice coach and to retain a bunch of kids.
You'll be taking on the the silvertails of Manly without the soon to be immortal "Locky"

I Don't like Thaiday
I Don't like Hodges; grub act on Morris, cowardly or brainless or something.

I do however admire the way that you play and your victory against my Dragons was fair and well-earned

Please beat Manly by one point in the last second of extra time!
Do the same to whoever you play in the GF

Good Luck
Hope Lockyer gets his GF victory

 

[hellteam]

Not confident at all, considering putting $1000 bucks on manly to dull the pain when we lose...

 

[user_nat]

You wouldn't even get a very good return though..
