darcy_lussickOn Wednesday at 12:52pm I lost my favourite person in the world, my Mum.
She was surrounded by her kids and her husband. Anyone that was close to us knew that my Mum has been battling for many years and at 42 years old has left us way to early, but we get comfort in knowing that she is finally at peace now. I will miss her so much and so many things about her, especially her rambling text messages I got from her straight after playing footy, usually telling me that "the referees were picking on her boy" and that she thought I was "the most handsome player on the field". I can't wait to see her again one day.
Finally I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has made contact with me and my family over the past few days, we appreciate it and I can't wait to play tonight with my Mum watching from above and my family watching on from the stands.

I just got off the phone about this. my parents and elder siblings were friends with Jason and Bonnie and the lissick seniors.

They were well known good people in my street growing up.

Heart goes out to the Lussicks and best wishes to Darcy!

Did I hear correctly one of the Fox commentators said a big name forward is out for us? Why wouldn't he just say who?

I heard it too. How much bad luck have we had with injuries in the last 2 years?

 

[Jerry1]

Hopefully the plodder..

 

[HappilyManly]

I like it - Big arsed Vave will break them Broncos in

 

[Karin]

What an amazing strength Darcy must have to get out there and play at a time like this. I can imagine the Manly team will be out there rallying around him with the same determination.

 

[Ryan]

Hope they carve for Darcy. Poor bloke.

 

[HappilyManly]

The crowd looks good, the players will soak in the atmosphere 🙂

Carn Manly!

 

[Woodsie]

Four big boppers on the bench. Looks like TB has decided to take them on in the forwards.

 

[Jerry1]

Here we go.. Against all odds... Go Manly..

As a realist im just hoping for a close competitive game. A win here would be amazing and a huge upset.

A left edge of Walker Brown Williame.

Roberts and Milford are going to have a field day on that edge.

Lol we get a bumbling introduction and they get all the bells and whistles with pics and graphics... (On fox)

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why TB persists with Walkz at 5/8 in this game. He's such a great centre and surely .... oh, forget it
