Captain/Coach

A few terrible errors, awesome defence, and several fantastic attacking plays, should have been a 40+ win but refs kept us on a leash for the moist part.

Surely for some of us, but probably most of us here don't have a "moist part".

Grizzly old fart
Des has to be one of, if not the greatest rugby league coach in the game's history. Bellamy has done wonders at Melbourne, but he's also had the advantages of a top squad, and a TPA arrangement that has consistently given his side an UNFAIR advantage. Des has done it without these advantages and building sides up from scratch.

Agree.
Although impossible, the icing would be if one or the other succeeded with reversed circumstances to fully judge each of their coaching credentials.
Maybe Des would not shine with a bottomless cap or whether Bellyache would not even glow with a Manly style salary cap and thereby unlimited access to stars and up-comers.
Maybe.
It has for sure. Walker has made a few good tackles rushing in but after 2 weeks now that wouldnt have gone unnoticed by rival coaches. It will be exploited and cost us very soon.he is defending like a centre at times which is expected i guess. So far so good though

I only drink on game day these days, I start slowly and stop if we lose.
If we win my drinking accelerates and goes till late, I feel like bozo called the cement truck on me!
Have to say today was the best day its been at Brookie for a long time. The 15,012 were much noisier than the 15K crowd 2 weeks ago and, with Golden Eagles day, and the fireworks, the whole atmosphere was awesome.
A wonderful afternoon at Brookie, topped off with superb wins for Blacktown and Manly!
P.S. Had a pre-game thrill when Max Krilich chatted to me walking from the Leagies to the game.
Certainly agree Alinda
There was an electric atmosphere of anticipation and nerves that turned into noise when it was clear that we were on song
Max is a legend
Got to have a bite to eat with the bomb thrower and others and he certainly is a funny man with an astute and clever footy mind
Absolute legend is our captain courageous
................................
Woke up just now
Still buzzing from the day
No voice at all
Little dusty
Some kebab stains on my shirt from the kebab shop opposite the pub still open at 1am
2 coasters from the boat shed with phone numbers on them in my back pocket
Driving home now to the south coast to nervously check where I left my tab tickets for us to make the 8 , the 4 and win the comp
Few of Rueben’s mates from Gerringing in the foyer when we left looking as dusty as me
Thank god designated drivers
Go manly

What!!!! Klemmer was awesome for us.

Yep, perfect afternoon at Brookie - sun bathing the hill for almost the whole game. And even with over 15K in there, it was never uncomfortable and felt like we could fit in a few more.Have to say today was the best day its been at Brookie for a long time. The 15,012 were much noisier than the 15K crowd 2 weeks ago and, with Golden Eagles day, and the fireworks, the whole atmosphere was awesome.

My only complaint is those horrible 1980s Tandy/Realistic speakers on flimsy metal poles (obviously assembled by Trent in his spare time) by the fences on the hill side of the ground. Look so cheap and nasty and obstruct the view of the field. It’s criminal how neglected Brookie has been over the years. Still the best place to watch footy in Sydney by a long, long margin.

The bulldog supporters may not agree with you.... but that’s fine
It was probably the kebab shop number for me to ask to stay open for a hand full of eagles
My sincere advice to you is ... start drinking again ... now .... if you derive any pleasure whatsoever from reading the discordant ramplings of over-excited and emotive underwear wearing couch quarterbacks typing mindlessly between bites of sausage rolls and quaffing volumous quantities of jungle juice .... then your mind is obviously having a catastropic reaction to alchohol depriivation ...
