Anything won too easily is probably not worth having - We dont want to turn this year's comp into a one night stand. Er, sorry, think i need to find a different comparison , that one doesnt quite sound a secure argument. . . .

Best we right that terrible wrong and make it a hat-trick for him ASAP.
EaglesDontTweet said:If we should win it this year, I think it would be a nice gesture for the referees to hand us the premiership trophy.
No, no, not the way they handed it to the Roosters last year, just passing it to the captain will be fine.
HoldenV8 said:At least Manly have given us premiership joy (6 in my lifetime). Think of those poor fools who were life long Bears fans born after 1922.....or those who follow Cronulla who'll probably never win a premiership.
My local league Aussie rules team (West Adelaide) won a premiership in 1983 when I was a kid.....been waiting 31 years for another (we've had 4 GF losses since then) and its not likely to happen this year.
Thankfully the first game of league I ever saw (on TV) was Manly, though we did lose that game (the 1982 GF). I fell in love that day and have been ever since
