Umm, the fact that we are in 2nd place mean anything to you?
What about Lowe's hit on Brett? Is that not bullying?
Piss off back to Souths, and when you go back there, tell them they are going to be waiting another 40 years before reaching a GF.
Toughen up princess the fact that we are second means stuff all come September will we be able to beat the 2 decent teams in the comp, storm and dragons and on disclosed form I say no. So keep your head up your arse and be happy with beating souths but that won't cut it. We need a big scalp before we should be taken serious, but I guess in your world coming 3rd is a top effort.
Do I need to remind you of 2007 and 2008? I think I will because you are obviously either a Souths fan that completely forgot as it haunts your dreams, or you were far too young to remember those years
2007: we finished 2nd at the end of the regular rounds behind Melbourne. We only beat Souths in the Regulars 12 - 2 and they beat us on a Monday night at the SFS that year. We feared when we were to meet them in the finals that we would be beaten, but we destroyed them. We made it to the GF. We had our arses handed to us but we still made it. We lost to the team who beat us on the table (and were cheating at the time I might add).
2008: we finished 2nd again, this time by point difference. Ironically Souths were defeated by more than 22 on the last night so we didn't win the minor premiership. That year we met Souths twice: at Brookie we won 20 - 2 and, then met them, the week after nearly beating Melbourne, and were flogged by a better Souths outfit. That was the last game we lost, leading to 40 - 0 against Melbourne in the GF.
Souths always have the ability to win a game every year against us, doesn't matter how good or bad they are going. That was a good test for us, as was Parramatta, and the Dragons game. Yes we have work to do but we are working nicely to the finals, and with injured players coming back we have a lot to look forward to.
Therefore, why don't you get YOUR head out of your arse and either go back to the hole you crawled out of or burn the Manly gear you own because you don't even deserve to be there in October celebrating the 2011 premiership with us.
