Stewart Out 8-12 wks

[Bobby DIGital]

^Yes. in 2001-2002.

 

[m0j0]

^Yes. in 2001-2002.

...and 2005 - Bulldogs & Roosters

Edit: I see what you're saying here Bobby. I could be wrong, but I think Sleep was referring to the two finalists from one year missing the finals the following year. 2001 - Roosters & Broncs both made the 8. 2002 - Eels & Knights both made the 8 also.

 

[RainMan]

Thats it for Manly 09. Robertson - solid winger, below average fullback. Hopefully, the Wolfman can fill the void...

 

[kia ora storm]

What will Stewartly do without Stewart ???...not good.

 

[Mr Saab]

Both Melbourne and Manly could miss the eight this year. Has that ever happened before?

Both GF participants missing the finals the next year?

1987...Dogs and Eels both missed out after the 1986 GF
1992...Panthers and Raiders missed out after the 1991 GF
2005...Dogs and Roosters missed out after the 2004 GF

 

[Twizzle]

did his neighbour kneecap him ?

 

[Sleep]

Mojo and Saab are on the money with what I meant. And as a result, I love them both.;-)

 

[lockyno1]

Should not have been allowed back till after the court case, so in a way it is good.

 

[Timmah]

Still named in the Origin 40 man squad...

 

[bboy_insane]

The squad was probably decided on before they heard about B Stewart Timmah.

 

[CanadianEagle]

Karma's a bitch.

So every player that misses weeks due to injury has karma coming to them.... b*tch!

That aside, 3 months of Robertson at fullback and we're f*cked!

 

[bartman]

When's his court case being heard? Might be out for longer...

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

Give Hasler something else to whinge about now.

 

[caspersparks]

jesus christ... just when things were looing up.. yeah, put wolfman at fullback... robertson is a no go.. poor hasler.. hasnt had much luck this year.. all manly fans are hurting..

 

[Raider_69]

the premiers curse continues

was thinking that myself
i think recently only the storm have managed to avoid its claws

 

[kia ora storm]

The good thing to come out of this is that the spotlight will now come back on Orford to be their saviour and this will show how crap he really is...

 

[Holla if ya hear me]

manly are now dead in the water

 

[Spike]

Does anyone know anything about Scott Blanch or Dennis Sandow?

 

[Eels Dude]

Couldn't happen to a better person.

I'd say 40-0 is a pretty decent example of the premiers curse.
