Game Day: Penrith v Manly [Round 1, 2022]

[eagleron]

Ha, old? Let's just say 'mature'. I'll be 55 years a Manly supporter in May of course. Where have all the years gone? Still we have 8 premierships, and countless memories. Lets see if these Dezzie's Turbo bros, DCE, Foz and the very accurate Reuben G + all the team can get us another. I think we are at least due for a GF appearance

I was three when my friendly neighbour invited me to go for the mighty Eagles, over seventy years ago, and no I'm not old either🙂

 

[The Royal Soup]

It's a massive in for Koula. Very rare for Des to take a risk and throw a kid in like this. He hardly played a game apart from early last year and now he's a vital #14 against the premiers.He must be a very special talent to get the nod here.

knowing Des he will ride the pine all game

If Sips does indeed start. I really think DES is actually showing us some considerable growth around last year's early woes.

Given he has plenty of selection tricks, and game day changes, I don't want to get too excited too early.

But when DES is willing to reinvent himself and perhaps move with the times. Things really could get. "Clears throat." Exciting.

I became a fan when I was 12 .. so This is the beginning of my 58th season... and I am as excited as I have ever been for a season to start..

We will flog the cats tonight by 4 ... rip in Manly,

and congrats to the Debutantes Bully and Koula

Wow that is a long time!

Hey Woodsie I am impressed. I hope I get to be a long serving Manly supporter. BTW Where you around before debit cards…when there was a 1 and 2 cent coin? They were brown?

We were around when there was Pounds , Shillings and Pence.

I was 11 when we changed over.

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Wonder if Morgan could be a no.14 and Koula into the 3/4?

Go %&*¥ yourself. 🤣

Ps .. I can remember halfpennies ... when I bought my first beer a schooner cost 15c in the canopus (the can) bar at the Manly Pacific .

On the fourteenth of February 1966, and not a Manly premiership in sight.

I had a paper run and on the day and had a blue with a bloke who tried to give me a 5c coin instead of a sixpence.

Round 1 Sharp Extensive IT Final Team Sheet

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Coach Des Hasler has locked in his final team sheet for our clash against the Penrith Panthers at Panthers Stadium.

I'm half expecting Harper to be a late injury scratching & Koula to start for him as I too don't see Koula as a utility/#14 -it's a massive responsibility for a young back to debut under!

Either that or Des is foxing & will switch Koula for Boyle at the last minute.

 

[Class of 96]

Getting a lot of updates now from the Manly offical account over the past week. Looks like we are getting up to date on the social media side 😊

I'm amazed Olakau'atu & Taupau are both right to play!

I just thought Des naming them was his usual ducks & drakes routine.

Finally it’s here, absolutely pumped!!!

Not to worried about the W or L, more important to see the effort. Pumped, let’s go..

Love a win but effort is what I’m looking for , want to see the end of those insipid “ 28-0 after 15 minutes “ performances of early 2021.

We’re you around when there was a beer called DA…..I think it stood for dinner ale……oh and there was another one my dad used to talk about I think he called it Reshies? Or something like that!

Harper there

 

[HoldenV8]

I swear, Cooper Cronk knows his rugby league, but damn if he isn't as boring as watching paint dry.

And don't get me started on Tallis.....
