But I though The Dugan was going back to fullback....Mary said so !

 

[Divine]

Let's hope the bouncing bomb issue has been resolved.

He said it was a possibilty, he has several options. There's still a chance Morris will return as well. We'll have a solid forward pack when Friz and Merin return as well as a good bench. Hopefully no more injuries. We've been able to upset Manly on occasions and it's nice to go into a game in recent times thinking we are a chance to win. We know we have improvement in us and Manly are peaking but I just hope we compete and refs have no bearing on the result!

We'll take 'em through the forwards.

 

[rainman44]

Sorry everyone I love my saints but I think we will get our pants pulled down. Different class

 

[Slippery Morris]

Manly got belted by the Tigers and Broncos so anything is possible. Not saying Tigers and Broncos are bad but Manly are not as unbeatable as people think.

 

[Dragonbaal]

yeah its not brookie remember and they seem to get more than the rub of the green every time they play there

If we start well anything is possible and I give us a chance but if we're off our game Manly are ruthless. Tigers prob a bad example as Manly put 40 on them last week lol but I agree any team is beatable and I think the boys will go in with a bit of confidence

 

[stg666]

manly are lucky they only play us once........ aaarrrrgggghhhh

 

[hardbaby]

We got dis

 

[Jubileeboy]

We got dis

That's the way mate.

Serious question to all...albeit a little random.

Do you think the players (not that knob that 'claimed to be an ex-player') read this, do they pick up on our optimism and that can somehow translate to on field performance?
Do they understand what shallow lives we live and that we are going through all of the same emotions?
(Except we do this as absolute nut jobs and for a lot less money! )

Jb, would you waste your time here if you were a player?
Doubt I would. This place is for the wannabe tragics, like you and me bro!

I'm quietly concerned about this game.

Thanks Bottle...that's what I thought

Although, over the years, some posters have claimed that others were in actual fact legit players ( unlike said knobhead mentioned before that was cast aside).
I guess we'll never truly know and it's a roller coaster ride for us tragics that have the ability (i.e all of us) to be able to solve all of the issues that surround our team and club.
Fun and games and we're not doing too bad when you put the likes of young Alex McKinnon or John Farragher into the equation.

This game is a complete mismatch on paper, so hopefully fans are realistic about performances.

As always, a few early tries (to us lol) and you never know, but im more interested in how we compete, the result will be a bonus, but it will be hard to defend that backline for 80 minutes.

It would be u realistic for us to go from Wooden spoon contenders to beating the competition favourites so if we don't its no big deal. If we had Merrin & Friz I'd give us a fair chance and I'm still hopeful. I just don't want to see people getting on here and bagging players or the coach if we lose. As long as there is effort I'm happy
