Game Day: Manly v Souths [Finals week 2: 2019]

[malroon]

After last year , I'm real proud of the boys to get this far, and looking forward to a few more years closer to the top than the bottom, on tonights game i have a feeling the ref's will decide the outcome...GO MANLY..

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

What a fantastic experience you must have had. When do you leave for the next one?

Don’t travel in the summer , too hot, it’s a winter thing but you head north to escape the cold. We’ll head off somewhere next year not 100% sure where it when yet.

Cody Walker doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as the magician Cliffy Lyons.

Tooheys.....

Rip in boys.

 

[BrendonStarr]

Will be enjoying this Manly Masterpiece tonight totally straight 'n sober. My goody goodiness will be mightily rewarded with a Sensationally Scintillating Special Manly performance as reward for my discipline and self control.

Tonight we officially move up to a whole new level in regards to intensity, control and consistency, making this performance one of Manly's best Semi Final appearances of all time.

If all goes accordingly we could belt the bunnies by 30+

Des vs Wayne.....

Played 27
Des wins - 11
Wayne wins - 16

As Manly coach, Des is 6-9 against Bennett coached teams (1-1 against Bennett as Souffs coach).

 

[Briza]

I wonder if Sammy will fancy his chances down our left side
Hope Wadells up for it

If it came to fists or headbutt's I have a feeling nobody worries Corey.

Sorry but no beer in Australia is worse than the $hit served up by the Vics. Carlton, VB, Fosters.....all beers that are best when you're so drunk even dish water would taste good.

 

[brad]

I've played this game over in my head all week and she's coming down to a clutch situation from Dce . Hold on tight . I've got Dce or Jake 1st try score into 1/12.

There certainly appears to be a very very good 2020 coming up and who knows how long the run will continue once the mountain of success has been climbed.....but as you point out, for tonight, the No1 Mr Fixit has been appointed the No2 game.....why?.
