Manly thank Eels for Witt

How Funny is this Thread Looking Back :lol:

Bet Zorba Regrets this one

 

[Dan]

What I find amusing is how 100% correct Matas and CW were on this one. But very funny looking back

 

[earl]

Oh Yeah,
Mata was spot on about Tigers not being the benchmark of the comp. They won it.lol

 

[Canteen Worker]

Funny stuff!!! Well done for finding this and reminding us all how full of wind some of us are at times. :blaugh: :blaugh:

 

[Ryan]

LoL - I expected big things from him !! What a talent scout I am !!

 

[Dan]

Oh Yeah,
Mata was spot on about Tigers not being the benchmark of the comp. They won it.lol

but they were hardly the benchmark all season were they?

They crept in and had some luck

Manly played them into form in that night game half way through last year.

 

[Canteen Worker]

Don't remind me of that nightmare. I went to Leichhardt and can still remember the touch footy for the first 20 mins and 18 -16 and then they started to play tackle.

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Sorry CW

 

[Stevie]

My Best Call was after Watching the Trial at Leichardt last year saying the Tigers were Specials for the spoon :stupid: :roll:

 

[Matabele]

At that point in time the Tigers pack were indeed ****. Even Harris rolled over the top of them.

 

[Canteen Worker]

Steppa made their backs look pedestrian.

Mind you - go back and look at the comments we made after the Gosford Roosters trial. Just as funny considering what has happened since.

yeah , true.
And what Dan said is right aswell.

My main recollections were:

1. Ballin and Cuthbertson should see a lot of first grade. I still hold to that.

2. Matai is a liability in defence (as I so bluntly stated much to your horror). This opinion has not changed either.

They won about 9-10 in a row didnt they ? Dont know if i would regard that "creeping" in

 

[Volley]

Yeah, Top 4 is hardly "creeping in".

 

[Garts]

they came storming into the finals last year and knocked off some big name sides. dont think there was any luck involved but I guess you could say they had limited injuries coming home.

Wheel and I joined you in that call.

Great judges we all are!!!!! :roll:

 

[Dan]

they finished outside the top 4!

all were rated as a lot of upsets!
They hardly won off the weight of their powerhouse forwards. They werent the benchmark last season matas was right

Parra much more abenchmark especially when forwards were concerned

 

[Volley]

Nope, the came 4th regular season. Played the Cowboys at Telstra on the Friday Night.
