3 things that could see us win an unexpected title this year

[Pittwater Legend]

1. We went into today's game being in 1st place for least metres conceded. Keep that up and you will continually bully other sides

2. We went into today's game being in 1st place for drop outs forced. A vital skill that can break down even the toughest opponents

3. DCE. Put 2016 down to burnout from off field bull**** and a weakened roster. I reckon he was good even in 2015 when our side had the weakest forward pack in the competition. Every other year, he has been an absolute star. This guy is 24 carat gold

Anything is possible
And Why not US
That was the motto for the Seattle Sea Hawks when they won the super bowl
and you hear it quoted a lot now
SO why not US

 

[HappilyManly]

Injuries are starting to appear again.

Do we have the depth to cover for Siro and Marty 😕

Interesting fact for Manly -

Manly played in the 1987 grand final... and in the 1997 grand final... and the 2007 grand final.

The way we're playing, I wouldn't be surprised if we made the grand final.

Let's keep up the tradition then.

3 things that'll stop us.
1. Greenturd
2. Turdy
3. Greenslime

 

[Captain Moondog]

1 Greenberg has an unfortunate fatal accident
2 The refs decide to be impartial
3 We maintain our form and have minimal injuries

Long as Kapow, AFB and Lawrence, Jake go North....
This team will continue to challenge.

1957 GF.....1967 should have and 1977 could have!

I remember an article mentioning that and other historical facts pointing at why we will win the 2017 grand final, interesting to see it become a realistic chance. This pre-season I got plenty of optimistic ratings when I said I believed we'd be a big chance to make the top 4 this year, now I say we are a major premiership threat, let's see what comes of it... go manly

Being a keen Epl soccer watcher, if Leceister can win the title being 5000 to 1 underdogs we can certainly give it a shake.

 

[Harvies elbow]

We are mastering the art of winning.
Losing is becoming alien to this team.
And I think we are still in the young adult stage of what we will become, as evident by our mistakes.
But to do this while winning and refusing to lose is what every great Manly team has been based on.
It's great watching the team grow.
Go Manly.

But lets start winning in years ending in 7 first - drought for 30 years 🙁

I've always been a glass half full type of bloke but realistically I think we've got buckleys of winning the EPL.

If not we've only got a year to wait...
What a great way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of our greatest ever team !!
And 10 years since our 2nd greatest. (arguably).
But to win this year would tide me over till then...

 

[cherry_poppins]

1. Injury to Cronk or Smith
2. Storm miss the grand final
3.Kelly doesn't play like he did today

I meant to say that years ending in 7 have not been winning years. 🙁

Manly could ease my nightmares over 1997 and 2007 with a win this year though

To be fair our odds would have been better than Leicester. They had things like Loch Ness monster sightings and elvis sightings at shorter odds

It'd never happen - we'd get pinged for handball every two seconds!

 

[Holmsey]

I think we are 2nd in the comp overrall based on performance. We can handle Roosters, Sharks and Broncos with all the injuries. Today showed me that we are a serious contender I thought Warriors would clean us up when we got behind by 16 with the rain but we are a very very serious footy team.
