We'll win this.

Is it Calvin? I had never realised before that the kid was Calvin. They do look similar now that you have mentioned the connection to Bill Watterson (and yes, I had to Google him to see who he was).

Your reward is to read all of the Calvin and Hobbes comic books after tonight's game!

You're welcome.

Also (back on track): It'll be interesting to see how we go without afb. He's been in great form.
I did not think at the start of the year that Sipley was going to be the 'best of the rest'. I thought tangles and tent we're bigger and going to be front runners.

Sometimes... not the size of the dog...

Go Manly!

 

[Woodsie]

What if you happen to be wearing sunglasses and an overcoat, walking backwards through an entrance?

I am genuinely concerned for you on occasion Nicci ..... do you need to talk ??

 

[Andyvb88]

Zero tackle has Boyle as coming into the team!

I love Calvin and Hobbes. Best thing my ex every introduced me to!

 

[Smokin Joe]

Yeah the NSWRL.com site has Tanginoa listed to play 11 and Keppie to play at lock,Boyle is out of the side and may debut tonight.Could be Ducks and Drakes,but who knows....

Not when I'm undercover.
And the name is Frank.
Shhhh...

 

[Harvies elbow]

Boyle would've brought things to a head...

Its clever, but Insanity Streak is better. I didn't think any cartoonist would equal Glen Larsen's Far Side but I think Tony Lopes has done it

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

A number of sources on Twitter suggesting Boyle will make his debut in FG tonight.

Is he Gary's brother?

 

[weev]

A little off topic perhaps, but I want to watch this game but I can’t go to a pub and I don’t want to give Murdoch any money. Any tips?

Tanginoa and Croker playing NSW Cup so they will drop off list.

Yeah break the law, bail should be cheaper than handing money to Murdoch---not.

 

[MadMarcus]

GO MANLY !!!

Did I miss the announcement that we signed Todd Carney?

Ooops I had posted this in the pre-game thread but intended it for the game day thread instead

Very excited for this game. In anticipation of it, I just want to mention two sort of recent victories against SGI that were against the odds, so that we can re-live the glory

Round 8, 2013 at Kogarah
I believe we had never beaten SGI at Kogarah prior to this match. To complicate things, Brett Stewart succumbed to an injury during the match and had to be replaced by Jorge Taufua. Jorge did a remarkable job filling in for him and busted through their line himself to score a decisive try. We won the match, 24-18.

Round 19, 2014
This match would see us win back to back matches at Kogarah after having never won there before against SGI. This match is notable for another reason as we set an NRL record for a managing a victory with the least amount of possession. Despite only having 40% of the ball, we won this match 21-12. I believe that percentage record is still in place

Here is hoping for another incredible victory tonight at Wollongong
