Brisbane v Manly at Suncorp?

[1969]

It makes sense, and must be better for us if the Broncos beat the Roosters, and we go on to play the Roosters in Sydney.

But the selfish side of me wants the Roosters to win, then we play the Broncos at Suncorp. With Boyd being out, a Roosters win is more likely.

Of course, assuming we beat the Panthers.

I don't get to go to many games, being on the Gold Coast, and would love to see us play up here, although our record of recent times give the Broncos a distinct advantage at Suncorp.

I'm a bit torn over this, but I guess it's out of my hands.

Wow that we be gold to knock the bongos out in bris.

It would be great, but we'll have our hands full this week .

 

[HappilyManly]

I thought that only the Top 2 get two home games. Thats why it's so important to finish there

But knowing the NRL, they would give Broncs a home final anyway, to roll in the cash 😡

Karn the Broncs in Week 1 😀

 

[COMMANDER]

My wildest dream would be meeting Brisbane in two weeks time and knocking them out.

Talk about a battle fat.

But we are getting ahead of ourselves.

One at a time boys. Let's see what happens this Saturday before we start thinking about next week.

Let's just focus on the Panthers. It will take a big effort to beat them two weeks in a row.

I won't allow myself to think beyond that.

If we do manage to play the Bronco's next week it will be Friday at Suncorp.
I hope Storm, Bronco's, Cowboys and us win this week.
Very unlikely but would love to meet and beat Parra in the grand final

Anyway, yes it's jumping ahead, I'm confident we will beat the Panthers, and think Broncos will lose without their captain, so we have booked 4 hotel rooms in Brisbane just in case.

And trust me to arrange a fishing / caravan trip along the Darling River thinking earlier in the year that we'd be " no chance" of making the finals.

You can always make a detour to Sydney or back to Brisbane?

Would a true/real supporter make the effort ;-)

What do you mean? I'm already thinking about October 1.

Maybe even back to back in 2018 😉

 

[The Who]

I can't support the Donkeys so I'm hoping for an Easts' win - even though an Easts loss would be preferable in terms of logistics (should we win our way though).

Agree 100%, it's threads like this that have a habit of jinxing this weekend.

Refs would never allow it

How does this thread jinx Manly? I never realised I had so much power!

Let's revisit after Saturday night. The Universe has a habit of biting those who get ahead of themselves.

Best mixed metaphor of the year!

Sure, ok. But I know you Ralphie, forever the pessimist... seems nothing is changing, as your waiting for a loss on Saturday to prove your prediction of my jinxing the thread to come true. You can't be serious?
