[smithy]

Clearance granted for Fainu. Contract upgrade announced by the club.

Was completed on Tuesday as I mentioned on page 5 of this thread.

I'll be speechless if Tom Wright doesn't get a spot.
The only player who has looked remotely dangerous in the last couple of months...

You will be speechless then! Playing for Blacktown

Fortunately St George saved Manly from immediate embarrassment by pipping Parra near full time.

I would rather Parra win and us being in danger of the wooden spoon than have the Dragons win again, their supporters $hit me no end, let's hope they fold like they have been over the years.
Perhaps us getting the spoon will cause some action to be taken by the club

No spoon mate , lets not tarnish our proud history . We don't need a spoon to send a message that our club needs a change of culture . Our teams mediocre efforts and performance says it all . We are the only team that the last placed eels have given a thrashing . Those that have eyes can see how our mighty Sea eagles have fallen .

Manly are the only pre-1982 club never to get the wooden spoon.

Never.

Its a source of immense pride for the club and us fans. If Barrett leads us to one this year he'll be a dead man walking.

And I can't believe any of our fans actually want us to finish last.

Jorge Taufua is out, replaced on the wing by Matt Wright, while Shaun Lane has been promoted to the starting line-up at the expense of Frank Winterstein. Dylan Walker returns at five-eighth with Trent Hodkinson benched. Brad Parker replaces Akuila Uate (ankle, season) on the wing. Manase Fainu has again been named at hooker with Matt Wright also benched as Manly attempt to get clearance for Fainu to play. Lloyd Perrett and Kelepi Tanginoa were dropped from the reserves 24 hours out from kick-off.

Why'd that get an ironstine? Good info I thought.

BEWARE OF THE UNDERDOG !!!
I have read all the posts and The good news is we are the underdogs and its more fun being the underdogs competing against the comp leaders .The pressure is on the Pussy Panthers .
I can see an underdog Rocky movie setting coming on at Lottoland where the mighty Sea eagles do the Eagle Rock and upset the top of the table Pussy Panthers .
The Sea eagles are set to Rise !!!

But love the optimism

 

[HoldenV8]

If we get within 30 points tomorrow of the panthers we will be doing well.
Sad this type of talk is from the northern eagles days..we are not far off those days the way we are going.

This team doesn't deserve to be called Manly. It deserves to be called the Northern Eagles.

Definition of optimism.....leaving for work for the day and recording the Manly v Panthers game in the hope we win .... at least if we lose I can delete it just as easily

We gave them one first and we have 20 points on them

Thought I had little passion left, just resigned to misery. Ah, but there it is: absolute fury at the idiocy of Tom Wright back at Blacktown with the season gone.

 

[court83]

Prediction time... Unfortunately panthers by plenty..

Forgetting manlys absolute abysmal for...seas..... Well, just everything about manly being abysmal ATM, we also have to be worried bout penrith bouncing back from last weeks thrashing... They will be looking to make a statement..

I'm gonna go with something along the lines of 28-12
