This long season could be catching up with old man Daly. He does seem a bit flat lately compared with early on.
First signs of age finally catching up with him? Or maybe he's been playing with injury?

I believe DCE had a Great Season and his great match winning form is the reason we are playing finals .
Form does fluctuate from time to time for all players
But Great Players like DCE MUST Deliver in finals footy
Looking forward to a Match winning DCE game against those Dirty Dogs

No major event buses from the northern beaches

Really only good means of transport from beaches b line bus to Wynyard light rail or rail to central direct train to Olympic park

All tickets include cost of transport

Please note marathon is being held in the city on Sunday.

You’re probably right to a certain extent, but the million dollar question is for how much longer? Manly have relied on DCE & Turbo heavily to get a finals trophy the last 8 years but haven’t delivered and the clock is ticking..

Pretty lousy that there isn’t any special transport availabilities
Will be catching the B1 to Wynyard, if you see a guy in a Doggies 1995 jersey with a pack of old school silver tails that’s me ha ha

i know really dogs vs manly will get 50,000 +
At least put on major event buses for northern beaches and bulldogs belmore regions but that is using common sense which people don’t use.

Hello furry friend , I hope you are having a good day
I must complement you on your courage to come and post on this Fanatical Eagles forum
I respect you for this !
Your million dollar question is how long do quality players last for
The answer is this
As long as they can keep performing to a quality level
DCE has no chronic injuries and he hardly misses any games though injury
He still has enough pace to break the line and the skill to break the oppositions game plan
Turbo is a world class player and he has been injury prone but he has been resilient enough to keep coming back to his brilliant best

As far as DCE and Turbo Deliverance goes
DCE and Turbo have both Delivered in the Elite State of Origin Series
DCE off course has all ready Delivered a Manly Trophy
Dont forget those two players have been held back under
Under Trent Barrett
The second underwhelming coming of Des Hasler
and in my opinion the over rated Seibold who I hope proves me wrong ....
Are you confident of a Dirty Dogs Done Dirt Cheap win TJ ?

• The Bulldogs have not won a finals match since 2015.
• The Sea Eagles have won 10 of their past 11 games against the Bulldogs.
• The Bulldogs have won four of their five finals matches against the Sea Eagles.
• The Sea Eagles will play their 100th finals match.
• Bulldogs hooker Reed Mahoney will make his 150th NRL appearance.

Thanks Bozo, I will sit in the middle of the Steyne with a Dogs jersey on it doesn’t bother me nor am I intimidated, Turbo is indeed a world class player but we have also seen how injury prone players end up when they can no longer be banged up for example Brad Parker retirement, DCE delivered a trophy in his very first year at the eagles from memory. Thanks for your opinion, I am just very curious as fellow sea eagles friends question the future once the DCE/Turbo era has gone, people seem to go into meltdown if Turbo is missing!

I am not confident of a win on Sunday, regardless who wins I am very proud of my team defying the odds and making finals at least,for the first time in 8 years - the future is looking bright especially with Gould focus on junior development pathways, if Manly are the better team then so be it and good luck to them

Turbo is a gamble but I can assure you if we put him on the open Marker the Dogs will be one of the first of many clubs to take him.
Putting Parker in the same Galaxy as Turbo is not an accurate example ,

You are right, Manly do have the superior team and they should be higher on the table and also getting a finals home game and the fact is that the Dogs coach has over achieved to get you to where you are with your small no name pack and without an elite spine half and fullback
Manly must Win if Seibold is to try and justify a contract extension

 

[mickqld]

We can only hope that DCE was watching as well

You'd think the fuking coach and the SOO captain might’ve figured this out by themselves by now. Seriously it is wreckless and stupity that is costing us.

In your eyes they “should” be but in reality their performance has not made them deserving of being higher,hence why they are not in the top 4.
As you have stated in your previous post if DCE/Turbo turn up they can win, if they don’t the wheels will come off.
I disagree, whilst Turbo is a great player and all my respect to him he is entering a new phase in his career one with many doubts in my view

I did say we we should have been in a postilion to have a finals home game and we underachieved by a 40 point 7 try thrashing .This is not just in my eyes . This is reality

I am not sure what you are doubting about Turbos New Phase because Tom was as Damaging as ever when he Demoralised your Dogs in a Man of the Match performance
It was all for all to see . I am not sure how you missed it . Maybe you had your eyes closed every time Turbo was running the ball
Champions keep proving the Doubters wrong and I am happy to hear you doubt

 

[SeaEagleSI1]

Hopefully the other player step up
Let’s go Manly 🦅

Yes he was very good, I enjoy watching him play. I am doubting it because I have seen the effects of banged up NRL players who continue to get badly injured, Turbo is on the very bad side - he is a high risk player. Heard plenty of Manly fans agree too.

 

[jbb/james]

I mentioned that the other week and got poo pooed 🤷‍♂️

It’s probably one of the main reasons he has remained injury free. Doesn’t put his body in front of defenders. Does that judo throw or ankle tap.

I may have mentioned it a couple of times

I would have to check.

And yes it does guarantee you a good ol fashioned rissoleing .

He has a following

Thanks very much for this and so glad I found out now!

I had no idea...mistakenly assumed there'd be major event buses from the Beaches. OK public transport costs are included but expecting Manly fans to use the B-line, light rail and train, there and back, is very lousy of the NRL.
I daresay if this was another club, they would be catered for far better (but every other Sydney club has a train service which we don't have).

I guess it's too much to expect Manly to organise some supporter buses like they use to for the finals. They say Manly fans don't travel...I wonder why!

 

[eaglebuzz]

Ciraldo must be a very good coach because that Bulldogs team looks awful on paper. Shame we didn't snap him up rather than Trent "the coach impersonator" Barrett

And it will keep ticking there is a reason we haven’t won a premiership in 10 yrs and that reason is the Dce Trbojevic factor

Can't wait to put on a performance for the fans: Tom Trbojevic
