Storm or Manly?

[Pantha-Boy]

I hope Canberra upset the lot of them.

There is a fair chance that will happen.

 

[pantherz9103]

I hope we don't lose by too much so storm get the minor premiership. I'll be going for storm again in the finals, regardless of how unpopular that may be i don't care. I am Melbournian by berth but my family moved to Sydney early, thank god i'm not a AFL fan.

So long as you're a Panthers supporter first... you're free to back any team you want once we're out of the running. Personally i want to see the Raiders win it. Proving beyond any doubt that Matt Elliott was holding them back, and therefore that he is holding us back.

Yeah i'm a panther fan first no doubt.

In the NRL I was riding the storm bandwagon last year, they're my preference again, but I wouldn't care if they fell over this time. Wouldn't mind seeing the sharks, raiders or even dragons win it. Be funny if the dragons won it when they bought bennet for that purpose. Be pretty annoyed if manly, roosters or broncos won it though.

Hope we can still win the Toyota Cup.

im confident that your boys will trample over manly

IN an old-fashioned Aussie gesture, Melbourne chief executive Brian Waldron has offered Penrith two kegs of beer and a case of Jim Beam bourbon if they can topple Manly in Saturday's match at CUA Stadium.

A Penrith victory would almost certainly hand the Storm their third successive minor premiership and Waldron has offered to provide the refreshments for the Panthers' Mad Monday celebrations.

The Storm are in a three-way dogfight for the minor premiership with Manly and Cronulla. But should Penrith win and Melbourne defeat Souths at Olympic Park on Sunday night, the Craig Bellamy-coached Storm will again have the title.

Waldron will telephone Panthers chief executive Mick Leary today with the offer. "As long as they drink it responsibly,'' Waldron said. "If they want, we'll even make it light beer.

"Our No.1 priority is to make the top two but we'd love to win the minor premiership. It would be our third successive minor premiership - no other club has done that in the NRL.

"It will also be Matt Geyer's final premiership match at Olympic Park so we'd love to send him out with a minor premiership.''

Manly chief executive Grant Mayer laughed off Waldron's offer. "The 'Great Waldo' has struck again,'' Mayer said.

"We have no problem with the offer - as long as it goes under the Storm's salary cap.''

I doubt it but Waldron is providing penrith with an extra motivation to perform better, so Melbourne won't have to beat Souths by much if Manly were to win saturday

 

[maple_69]

At least someone is trying something different to get Penrith motivated...shame its not our coach.

72-12

70-7, b*tch.

 

[Caged Panther]

A smart person would have mentioned a far more recent and thus open wound then something that happened in the 70's

 

[willvillain]

Why? I'd rather mention the heaviest defeat in the history of your club.

You guys do enough bashing of the modern team, what's the point in me bringing it up that we thrashed you earlier in the year? Or that you've missed the finals again or any of that sh*t? Because you'll all skip back into your Elliott complexes and feel good about yourselves.

 

[Pantha-Boy]

70-7, b*tch.

I will have the final laugh when you POOFS lose the match this week.
You have nothing.
I would like to remind of last years GF what happened?
f**ken manly scum piss off back to your povo ground and stand on the hill whilst we Penrith fans are in nice comfortable chairs under shelter.:lol:

 

[Pantha-Boy]

Thats exactly right.
Manly scum have nothing.
Thats why they cant afford and grandstand where that scabby old hill is.
THEY BLEW ALL THEIR MONEY ON THE PLAYERS.
Next time think about the freezing fans sitting up on that hill you POV SCUM.

Funny thing is Pantha-Boy, most Manly supporters love the hill. OK the ground needs renovations and thats being worked out with the council and the NRL, but the Hill? If we could keep it I'd be happy and so would alot of others. Alot of people, including me, grew up on that hill watching some amazing players through the 80's and 90's, rain or shine.
I'm gonna be dissapointed when a sunny Sunday afternoon cant be spent on the Brookie hill. Seeing Beaver off from that hill on Monday night was special for alot of supporters. It's the heart and soul of the place and I'm not sure if chairs will cut it. Maybe just improve the other stands.
CUA is an ok stadium and alot more modern than Brookie but to most Manly supporters Brookie is a shrine.

I actually like the hill...

Well i understand how much it means to you.
But when you said You grew up on the hill did u mean your parents left you their?
Tipical Manly people (Plays banjo medely)

LOL.... accused of being a banjo playing hillbilly by one of the foot of the mountain uggh boot brigade. What next.

By growing up there I mean remembering sitting on the hill from 1981 onwards watching some awesome football through the years, Terry Randall, then the early 80s teams with Phil Blake and Noel Cleal, Cliffy Lyons late eighties, Michael O'connor, then the great teams of the early 90's with Menzies, Kosef, Gartner in the back row.... then the downward spiral into the Northern Eagles and the sad getting smashed days, then the happy killing off of the Bears and the resurgence and return of the Sea-Eagles. All watched from the hill. I for one dont want it chaired in. The demise of the Sunday afternoon game due to TV is a pity but it's still the place to watch it from.

Of course I remember the Grand Final. I was f*cking watching my team playing in it, where the f*ck were you champ? Celebrating avoiding the spoon? Sick year.

And the hill is awesome. When it rains, you go home covered in mud. If it's hot and windy, you leave the ground with dust in your eyes and grass all over your body.... but this is football mate. The hill is one of the last remaining links to when footy was footy. Everyone talks about how much better it was 'in the old school', but now you want to diss the hill? F*ck that. If you're all about undercover seating, then sell your soul to ANZ Stadium you peasant.

Enjoy Mad Monday, regardless of tomorrow's result.

 

[Big Mick]

Pantha-Boy...mate...the hill is a tradition.

I loved sitting on the hill at Leichardt, brookvale etc...getting booed at etc...it was awesome. Traditional Rugby League!
