2024 GRAND FINAL

[globaleagle]

Ugh.

Panthers v Storm


Nothing to see here, same old same old, but all is well because teams 3-11 are close.

I wonder how kind the media would be if Manly were into their 4th straight GF?

I look forward to finding out.

I live in Penrith and I hate Melbourne. But it is remarkably hard to care about this one.

 

[Eagle 1]

Penrith for mine, no grubby stuff from this team and just love how they play the game.

 

[TJ55]

Penrith, their juniors systems has produced the bulk of their success, they have certainly earnt their undisputed stripes

 

[Bearfax]

Yawn. My hibernation time began a week ago. Not really interested in who wins this one. Parochial? Damn right. Bring on 2025. Come on Seibold. Get that defense fixed before my hibernation period expires.

Super excited to watch Penrith v Melbourne. Interesting to read that many others on here aren't!

Two awesome teams, and a legitimate 50/50 game. I feel like Melbourne is in better form but that doesn't mean they will get the job done.

We all love Manly bozo

For me Its useful to watch the best, to identify what and who we need to get to that standard.

I just enjoy watching footy, some people suffer from seasonal depression but I suffer from NOD (NRL offseason depression) so I’m starting to feel the early symptoms.

Off course we all Love Manly
I Believe you love Manly
This site is for all us Manly Psychopaths
I have seen the games standards all year
To people like me a Grand final without Manly seems hollow
My NRL season is now over
We are all different and I respect that feathered friend

Yes, I was at the club as a gear steward for the Matts and Flegg teams, when the likes of Cartwright, DWZ, Oliver Clark, Lodge and Moses Leota were coming through. All very humble and always thanked me for doing my job, yes even Lodge, I suppose because he was a young kid he was always thanking me as well but there was a time when Jimmy Jones was about to rip up his contract because there were a few times that he wouldnt turn up to training but they gave him another chance. Big Moses, you couldnt have met amore humble kid like he was

We all feel different
I look at it this way
If Manly was eliminated from the NRL
I could not support another team
I would lose total interests
Some people lose their loving partner and fall in love again
If I lost Manly I could not fall in love with another club
This is the same reason I could not watch the Grand final without my Manly love playing

 

[ManlyTragic]

Is there any cricket on?

 

[BOZO]

Is there any cricket on?

Yeh , Forget this years Grand final
Sing with me feathered friend
All together now

I was walking down the street
Concentrating on truckin' right
I heard a dark voice beside of me
And I looked round in a state of fright
I saw four faces one mad
A brother from the gutter
They looked me up and down a bit
And turned to each other
I say
I don't like cricket oh no
I love it

 

[eaglebuzz]

Glad to see Cleary is happy to burn $20k to call out that ridiculous officiating from the Bunker last night. Such obvious rubber-banding.

 

[Disco]

Panthers for sure.

Stuff the Storm

I lost interest during the Northern Eagle days, would look at the results and be happy they won but never brought any mechanise or watch a game except for origin.

I don't really care who wins the grand final but have a slight preference towards Penrith.
If we aren't winning it I happy that the Roosters or Eels aren't as well.

Penrith are the only side that have been consistently good in recent memory that I don't absolutely despise.

 

[Waz13]

I’ll tune in Sunday night with minimal interest. Hope Melb win.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

The only interest I have in this game is seeing if the Riff can make it 4 in a row , in the modern era that’ll be quite some achievement.

My late son in law ( Mick ) was a mad Panfers fan , and they ( the club ) were wonderful to him at the time , lots of experiences like “ dressing shed visits”, signed jerseys and when he was really bad at the end , hospital visits from the team.

It’s just such a pity he never got to see this recent success , finally losing his battle in 2018 just before this huge run.

So for that reason , go the Riff , but I think 4 in a row is a bridge too far and I fully expect to see the Drizzle notch another one up.
