Game Day: Manly v Rabbitohs [Round 5, 2016]

[pjayz]

I started off thinking we would lose this game - I've since done a 180. I just have a feeling we will win, it was the same before the Sharks game but for different reasons. I think we will see a super tough, hard-nosed defensive effort that will stifle Souths attack and will allow for our class players to shine. I think we must just get the chocolates even with all the injuries.

Let's see.

 

[BOZO]

Done. Hey, if there's money to be made. I've put money ON us the last two weeks. Prefer to be a realist with these things.

Anyways, I'll buy an Eagles hat with my winnings for my boy, so think of it as a donation to the club 🙂 I'll PM you my account details after the game.

If I lose this, I'm never going to live it down on these boards, am I ? Hahahaha

I could never bet against my club . To me it is like betting against my family . Manly is my family 🙂

Do you mind 😉 I've just thrown a 20 down here !

Pffft, I do it to quell the disappointment man. When we lose, I'm completely gutted. Taking a 20 off you will dull the pain if only a little ! Hahahaha

It's our attack I'm worried about.

I could not look at our players in the eyes and say good luck tonight guys but I have put my money on Souths 🙂

Luckily, neither of us have to. Hey, if you win, you can gloat all you like, and I'll still love every minute of it feathered friend. It's banter amongst Manly fans. Now who's up at the bar? My shout?

 

[Ryan]

Still want that $20 but. It will be the sweetest $20 I've had in years. Might not even spend it, but frame it ! Hahahaha

Either way, kudos to you sir, you put your money where your mouth is, and no-one can or should ever question your loyalty.

 

[robbiea]

So ,No hat for the son ,then ?

Its emotional hedging - think of it less like betting against your team and more like paying for a win, you just gotta want the win more than you want the money 😉

With that said, Manly by 10

 

[Ryan]

I'll win unfortunately. @BOZO will pay. He's a man of his word. If I lose, Bozo should still buy the hat and make me eat it 😉

Never underestimate the wounded Sea eagles feathered friend .
We may have a few players out but we only have lost a few feathers and not our wings and we still and are capable of flying 🙂

So I just looked up caps (call it pre-work), and I really don't know if the club is being legit, or I am completely out of sync with where prices of things are today? 60 ****ing dollars for a cap???

Assuming the official shop isn'rt doing so well then ! OMFG !

 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

ridiculous isn't it, they are good quality, but no more than $10-$12 to produce. $30 would be the high end of "reasonable" once you factor in license fees, every pocket taking their cut etc.., anything over is just a joke.

you can get change from your 20 with the Best & Less Cap

I did, and it's garbage. They all have been apart from the military one - 2012 or something?

 

[Budgie]

So the run on side is likely to be?

 

[HappilyManly]

So the run on side is likely to be?

You are using the term 'run' loosely - we will know at 7pm who will have the strength to fight the good fight

Rabbids will be underestimating Manly, let alone the Brookie Crowd factor
