Just before half time, I lost count of the amount of tackles we made on our own goal line. That's where the game was won.

Remote location in the Kimberley. Tired after a massive barramundi session and well pissed. Food so bad I just couldn't risk it. 10 people in the pub. I am the only one not drinking Bundy or XXXX (State of Origin round the corner, refuse to support QLD in any way, shape or form).

Next minute 5 Manly supporters rock. I mean what's the f**king chances of that? I lived at Manly for 10 years. I hate those pri**s with a passion. The worst supporters to have to share a pub with. Rude, obnoxious. Love Matai's cheap shots. Think that it's ok to urinate on a shop front (Go the Pee Eagles). Believe that Watmough is misunderstood; a victim.

I decide to show my allegiance early. The Red V comes out. I challenge them to a round of $20 bets. The bar maid (massive norks) holds the cash. Game on. Tense. Huge contest. Massive hits. The boys are harder than a camera man in a porn film (enter the stunt c**k). I walk out with $100 in cash and every insult under the sun. God bless the Dragons.

Oh, and they caught no fish either. Sea Eagles? Nah man, just a bunch of c**ks...

At work - missed the whole friggen thing, not even a radio - damn night shift - but I know I can catch the replay tomorrow in my own time with a few cold beers.

Winners are Grinners

Beats my story. Can anyone top that?

Stagger, watch it. And buckle yourself for the 10 minutes before half time.

FTR, we didn't have the ball for the first five minutes either. Ref Badger loves his whistle.

In the first half, Manly were camped down our end for close to 70%. And the scoreboard said 12-0 to us. We're back...!

 

[Minh]

Can't stand that thug Matai, thinks he's a hard man good thing looking back now that he got knocked out in the streets with Watmough.

 

[Willow]

Matai's cowardly rabbit punch to Nightingale's head when he realised he had pulled the jersey over his face and blinded him. Says it all.

 

[Tim Smith]

What a great win tonight...awesome defensive display and intensity, with plenty of blokes taking it up to Matai and his cheap shots. A couple of dissapointing aspects of tonight were King's cheap dead leg into Stanley that was ignored by the whistle blowers and then Alexander giving King one point in the Dally M's when our pack played all over them...what kind of a joke are some of those Dally M judges.

 

[Cagey Mac]

I work in Brookvale :lol::lol:

 

[Red V Ultras]

That trip on Stanley even Bennett couldnt back off at the post game press conference, ref said it wasn't intentional and king didn't mean it. What farkan joke but it sums up what womanly really are sore losers.

Are they still demanding an apology from Gallop , yeah keep waiting gay lords.

Long drive back home twigs.

 

[hardbaby]

I really respect Nightingale's game tonight. The Dragons have struggled a bit with the Manly pack. But tonight they ripped in. Nightingale made it a mission to smash Matai. Totally inspirational performance. Same with Boyd's first hit up. It was about making a statement. Very intense game.

Ah, well I didn't see hear of the commentary. Have been doing it mostly all year. It's quite liberating and the game is more enjoyable imo.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

you guys were outrageously good.

best game of the year IMO. fast paced, tough plays, goal line defence for the ages.

they threw everything at you and ya's never buckled. that was a great performance.

and that was only the first half. didnt see the second as i had oztag. more of the same or did you have the ball more?

 

[LatK7]

Outstanding performance by the boys. Couldn't be prouder!

Manly scored soon after the break with a set move (off a kick). But that was it.

To their credit, Manly never gave up. But they were consistently running out of ideas against the St George defence.

It was a very good hit out for us, and Manly turned out to be the perfect team to play us back into some form.

Thank you Manly.

Oh f**k yes. That place sounds like my kind of joint.

 

[juanfarkall]

I actually have a few regrets regarding tonight.

That I was not there and that B. Scott was not on the field hunting Catai, Queen, the molester's sister and the rest of the flopper/wrestlers.

First game at WIN this year. Got on the the piss at Wollongomg golf club. Turned up to the game, the bloke behind me gives me a hawaiian burger. Decide to buy a round of beers 10 mins in, including one for my new mate. Staff tell me I cant buy 5 beers. The lovely girl next to me offers to buy the fifth. After much confusion / logistics I get to drink the fifth beer. Badger screws us, I mentally screw his missus. The 90 year old lady behind me continues to scream - a mad St George supporter from way back. Old lady tells me she hopes she dies of a heart attack watching St george. Uncomfortable silence.... Matai hits Nightie with a cheapshot. Old lady continues to scream - its going to be a long season. Im on my 5th beer, Badger continues to f**k us. I f**k his wife, again. Manly have all the possesion, and the refereees in their back pocket, yet we lead 12 - 0. Nightie is on fire, playing like a man posessed since the cheap shot. Players walk off, old lady offers to fight Matai and Lyon, befor being escorted down to her walking frame. I cant help but think that Badger sure is punching above his weight.

2 nd half, Manly score a good try. Old lady all but spits in my beer. My mate has 10 fights lined up, including several with Matai. Dragons playing well, Soward on fire. Despite several Badger f**k ups we're on top. Nightingale has smashed Matai for the 5 th time tonight. Again Badger rims us, I think of his wife... Old lady snaps me out of day dream with some colouful language aimed at Rose. Rose has struck at Stanleys legs after the try. Merrin is warned for reasons unknown. Full time. Shake hands with Bennet Hornby and Dell. Dell helps old lady from ground, while carrying her walking frame under one arm, to massive cheer from crowd.

I love my footy. Yet still I envy hardbaby.

 

[Godz Illa]

Yes to this thread. These are the halcyon days.

Tonight, wow. The Soward try was amazing, the Stanley try was slick, and I loved Mitch Rein' cheeky one. But the defence before half time. That magnificent defence. Omfg. Dreamy. I love that shit. I'd wake up at 4am to watch that defence and keep watching for days. 6 sets of 6? Whatever. Make it 666 sets and the WIN crowd would keep growing, along with the bulge in my pants. What a team. Goodnight

Great recount of the night
