Nah, they're always up for Manly. Just like Parra. It is good seeing the mixos cop a flogging. Hopefully the snarks can keep their foot on the throat & not freak out at the thought of winning.
They are abit of a bogey team for us, but they have been pathetic, they will have to improve greatly to beat us next week.
there is a whole thread at LU called why LOL at Souffs http://forums.leagueunlimited.com/showthread.php?t=384639
Dead set if Manly don't put 30 points on them even with Ingli$ in the team then we are just pretenders. Souffs were terrible today.[hr] And Souffs are planning to offer Cronk 2 MILLION to go tho them!! What about a salary cap? read more: http://www.foxsports.com.au/league/nrl-premiership/incoming-south-sydney-coach-michael-maguire-intends-to-make-a-2-million-play-for-cooper-cronk/story-fn2mcuj6-1226086510732
Cronk's contract doesn't end untill 2013, 50uff$ will probably shed some deadweight to get him there. But gee 2 million seems a bit much, he is a great player, but I think half of that has to be credited to the system they have down in Melbourne, he will probably be average at 50uff$
Micheal Maguire is an ex assistant coach with Melbourne. So don't be surprised if he makes (lol@)50uffs a Melbourne Version 3.1 Parra will be Melbourne 2.0 Wigan is Melbourne 3.0 and lol@50uffs Melbourne 3.1
Cronk is worth atleast as much as Thurston imo,so much heart and riddled with skill To bad he plays for melbourne,easily the only player in melbourne who has been likeable
bit worried about the bounce-back factor in this one - given the pasting they are coping in the press they will likely want to make amends
I'd guess somewhere around the 23-24 mark from their top 25 squad. There's barely a player there that is worth their contract. Perhaps Burgess if he doesn't prove to be an injury liability. Some would argue in favor of Inglis.
Don't worry they are ALWAYS up for Mnaly, and they run HOT and COLD...last week cold this weekend HOT, I;d expect fire and brimstone and a close game!!
