Now for the reality check!!

[Moops]

But as you discover in life 1% of people are just sad sacks or angry ants.

I see it every day, most on the roads are good , 1% get their jolly’s from road rage, most on social media are good , 1% are complete arseholes. In big workplaces it’s the same , is just society I’m afraid.

1%...where do you live? I am moving there...

Where I live it's more like 90% of the population falling into one of those categories.

 

[BOZO]

As the great George Costanza said, "You support how you want to support, and I will support how I want to support."

The reality is we have over 30, 000 so called Manly face book supporters and only 10, 000 passionate club members who support our Legendary club were it counts and make a difference to it

Great people are Great because they make a difference

How Great are us Manly fans ???

HAVE A GO YOU MUGS !!!

[Brisbane Tragic]

His opinion was unacceptable? I don't know what to say about that one...WOW!

Let me say it... ignore lol

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

I think we need a yawn emoji for the Tech

Na just the ignore button lol

 

[Moops]

Let me say it... ignore lol

Bye bye...

 

[Cliffymagic]

Getting the win is great. We could of just folded when we went behind on the scoreboard and lost by 30 +again. So winning is ****en great.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Biff, please don’t put Croker in the same sentence as Grant. He’s not even a real 9. I’m really past all the Croker criticism, it’s really old now. We know how bad he is and it’s Des That keeps picking him. Guy at least makes tackles. I just hope Cust gets the nod next week.

My son had Fafita as his sc captain yesterday. You should have seen the ratbag jumping around the house like an energizer bunny. Haha

I had Papenhuyzen he made 286... the guy is just a beast and he had a few off moments as well

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Chez D was good on Friday. Reality is Fafita is a major weapon and we will need to line up a very good backrower on him. He can be nullified to sone degree tho. Knights were god awful yesterday. I think we will do better. Hopefully the Titans are off the boil a bit.

Fifita is going to smash us same as big tino.. only thing we can do is spike his water or gang tackle him with no less than 4 and hopefully concuss the man
Will ash Taylor be back? Its good turbo is back because AJ Brimson is another that can rip us multiple new ones

Taylor played yesterday.

 

[ManlyTragic]

I just hope we don't have to wait about 15 games for the next win!

Just sayin’

Brian Kelly might repeat his effort this weekend and come up with 2 try assists + 52 post contact metres

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Taylor played yesterday.

Oh boy.. so they have a full team?

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Donald pays to get laid and wishes he was more like me.

Being TC has it's free perks you know----not.

 

[Waz13]

Oh boy.. so they have a full team?

Dunno. Taylor is worse than Boyd imo so it’s a win. If memory serves me correctly toms come back game last year was vs Titans and he had an absolute shocker. I think we need to use the same tactics vs Titans that we did v warriors. Kick on the 3rd/4th tackle and turn fafita , Tino and fotuaka around all day. Pick Brimson apart from either side when his wingers are up in the line.

I like the way you think.. kick early and to the corners.... pick up Brimson and drag him back. Thing is i dont think we have enough points to beat them, i mean turbo is back so that will help but he will need time. That last game he played was the worst game i have ever seen from a 1st grader

He got to beat up Vince McMahon too (well, a WWE-style belting).

At the end of the day I don’t think we will win. I just want to see similar effort to the warriors game and us competing and it still being a game at the 60 minute mark. If we do that who knows.

Haha and he shaved his head

Then steve austin did the stunner on him

Yes, I remember that...(not that I ever watched WWE of course)

The reality is we do not have strike power across the park like the top teams

The reality is at the moment players like Parker and Harper are not dominant line breaking match winning strike players like the electric Crichtons that light up the field and win matches with one surge of briliance and superior speed or do we have destructive back rowers like the Kikaus

The reality is defensively we have the capability to defend like trojans and frustrate quality teams and grind away to a resilient win

The reality is all our players need to work harder together as a team and win games at the back of their resilient defence

The reality is resilient defensive efforts can dominate games
No one can run without legs

The reality is no one gave us any hope against the Warriors and most on here jumped on their No Hope Win Wagon

The reality is we defied adversity and defeated the Warriors against all odds with our resilient never say die defence and the reality is we can keep on winning if we keep on digging our heels in and defend like demons like we did against the Warriors

The moral of the story
IF THE BASTARDS CANT SCORE
THE BASTARDS CANT WIN

And the WORD of the DAY is:

resilient
