Never lost at Sunshine Coast
Can't recall them ever losing to NQ in Townsville

Lost 36-38 to Titans at Suncorp Rd 10 2017.
They have won 27 in a row in QLD since.

Sir Joh got the Deen brothers in to do a demolition job on the storm.

 

[40 years an eagle]

Lost 36-38 to Titans at Suncorp Rd 13 2017.
They have won 27 in a row in QLD since.

Good digging. Round 10.

 

[Will on the hill]

Correct, round 10. Got it muddled with May 13th.

Now amended.

 

[Snake]

Great...

So we will be the first team to beat them in 16 straight games and the first to beat them in QLD in 27 games.

 

[eagleron]

We may have an edge in the forwards, their missing Solomona, Kaufusi, Karma Chameleon (can't think of this guys name) and possibly the half back as well, Hughes. I like the way we are building towards the finals, even Johns and Fittler have both tipped us to win.

That's the kiss of death

 

[manlyfan76]

I wonder if Des has another trick up his sleeve.
He has masterminded some clever victories in the past and this week I can just sniff something coming from Des.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

As I keep saying , they have to lose one sometime !!

And they’d still get off at the judiciary!

Mate that move would see him crowned coach of the year again

If we can't beat them with this team we wont beat them at all.

 

[ManlyTragic]

I am glad Siro has been cut… no offence… just sayin’

 

[John Nicholson]

This game should start off pretty even, unless errant refereeing decisions get in the way ( if Manly are on the receiving end on 2 consecutive occasions, game over!)

Then there is the "bounce of the ball" to contend with.

However, about the 35th minute D-Haz will send on " The Gatekeeper", aka D.Walker.

He will promptly unlock the middle defensive gate and set up a turnstile to read Storm players QR codes, as they stroll by.

But, you never know, "The Gatekeeper" may not get a run, in which case we have a definite chance of a win.
