2015 Grand Final Gameday Thread..

[HappilyManly]

Cows 3 tries to Broncs 2.
Plus the Cows blew a couple of certain tries - so statistically they were all over them in attack.

I loved that cat Blair though - hope Baz and Boz have got Manly some forwards with speed and power

I liked the look of Parcell. Although he used the same move on every play (dummy pass to the right and run to the left) it worked and he looked nice and involved in every set

Brisbane lost more because they tried to shut up shop half an hour early than because the Cowboys were the better team.

Agree.
Someone forgot to lock the Backdoor of the shop.

Go the Injuns

What happened to the super coach? The overrated merkin. Brisbane got what they deserved. The wrong JT got the CC medal.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Agree.
Also, a Stockman in Northern Australia is known as a Ringer.
North Queensland Ringers would be something up North.

Even better...the Ringers!

I can live with that result. The Cows pulled the same stunt against us earlier this year, they mastered the art of winning on the bell.
60th second of the 80th minute and Morgan still had the ball. Morgan's clutch play was quite incredible, he's become one of my favourite non-Manly players.

Its funny looking at the broncos forum because that's their first grand final loss.

I just did a quick calculation, and Manly have been in Grand Finals in 30% of Grand Finals held in the last sixty years. So almost 1 in 3. No wonder they hate us.

...and people say you don't need Maths after you leave school. Geez.
Love your work.

I agree consistently the cowboys were strong at the end of games. Brisbane became very conservative in the last 20 minutes. Great to see the attacking team rewarded with the win.

The Worriers haven't won a first grade premiership either.

They've had 28 fewer seasons in the competition though. You would have to think the Warriors will win a title some time before the completion of their 49th season of trying.

Best thing about the game was

A) now the Sharks are the biggest losers by themselves.
B) Bennett not winning
c) Tamou has achieved everything up there and is free to join us

Poor gummies. 48 years of being our bitch. LMAO

And very deservedly so, Donkeys tried to protect a 4 point lead for about 30 minutes, that " should" only end up in pain......and it did!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

By the way @Kiwi Eagle , I'd never heard of Kate Upton until I read your comments during this thread so Googled her for a look.

Yes, I CAN see why you'd say what you did........OMG!!

Precisely, they deserved to lose after those tactics of grubbering for touch on the 5th every time in the last 10 mins. Manly would never do that, go for the try! Even a drop goal would have won it! Fools.

 

[Shoe1]

Ok it's about 15 hours after the win, time for the Cowboys to start disintegrating. Any players being poached by parra? Coach upset and negotiating secretly with Canterbury and wests?

Cmon why should their fans get to enjoy the premiership?

 

[weev]

THURSTON SIGNS WITH TITANS!

Just. Kidding.

 

[Shoe1]

Did anyone else notice that JT was offside at the golden point period kickoff? He ran over the halfway before the kick.

 

[mickqld]

Ben Hunt being touted as the next Qld origin half after Cronk.
77th min penalised for spear tackle.
79th min has ball stripped one on one.
81st min drops ball from kick off.
Yeah please pick him over DCE.

The Penns own the copyrights on that sort of behavior.

 

[The Who]

Next season the NRL is, apparently, introducing a shot clock for goal kick attempts.
How do you reckon that would have worked out last night with the Thurston 85th minute conversion attempt to win the match?
