BAN the black away strip.

Don't like it.

One funny thing, the missus walked passed and couldn't believe I was watching 2 other teams playing that did not include Manly, lol (I typically don't watch the other games)

My Mrs hates Rugba Leeg but even she took the time to express shock that we would play in colours that were not ours....

...says a lot about the stupidity of it I reckon....

...and I am betting you took that 100% demand as a challenge....

I have been advised .. to refrain from commenting at this time .

The US college football team, the Nebraska Cornhusker’s defensive team are called the Black-shirts, & that goes okay for them.
But the Manly jersey, post Tragic Round, Friday the 13th has become bad ju-ju now.
I suffered through the game on CH9, even Fatty Vautin mumbled to himself that he wished they’d worn the Manly colours
.

We are 2/2 on stuffing up on receiving the kick off in the black points bet billboards. Did I read we were going to wear them v Melbourne too? Please no.

 

[wedgetail eagle]

What the point of the black jersey? Who came up with it, is it a Pointsbet thing so we see nothing but pointsbet?

I’d like to see the SeaEagle badge/logo bigger, on the hoops jersey, of course.

 

[The Who]

All I can think of is that the club had a premonition that the match would turn into a funeral and dressed the players in black.

It's a Points bet sponsorship clause, 2 games this year we wear that atrocious thing.
Almost cause to rip the contract up

If that's correct then we can throw them in the garbage as that's the 2 games done.

Hooking up with bookmakers is a mugs game. Who organised it? If it was Kevin’s son, well that makes sense.

Maybe this was the players way of saying “perhaps you should reconsider this deal”

The owners of this club are tone deaf if they allow another Manly team to play in a black jersey.
Our colours are maroon and white, of which we are proud and a hell of a lot more important than the colours of a betting agency.
Do the Penns really need blood money from the loses of pitiful punters that badly?
For goodness sake Penn and co.: sell up and allow the club to be run by people who love it, not one who prosper financially from it.

I hate them.

I believe Ryan is on the money when he describes how they dudded the LC on purchasing the site, only to on-sell at a significant profit. Then used the profit to underwrite their investment in the club.

They are the root cause of virtually every misstep this club has endured since they bought in, c.2006.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Honestly ( whilst I hate the jersey too) how many of you really think putting on our normal home jumper would have made ONE once of difference to last nights result ??

Come on , out yourselves !!!

PS: if you do I reckon you know less about football than me AND I’m just a numbnut!!

 

[John Nicholson]

There was, a long time ago, an intelligent Norseman who had seen and done it all.

After contemplation of his long life, he gave the advice:

"Never wear black on Friday the 13th"

 

[The '47ers]

As above, it's not an away jersey it's an "alternate" jersey!
I like it as a warm-up/training jersey but definitely not for game days!
