Money where your mouth is then? Put $20 bucks on Manly. Friendly wager? You said you thought Manly could/would win. Let's see about those convictions

Only a small bet.

I don't need to put $$ down to prove my conviction or support for the team. I'll have a beer with my Panthers supporting mate across the road.
Enjoy the game.
Go Manly!

 

[Rafferty]

30+

I see your 30 and raise you 50+

 

[Waz13]

Two words:
Ducks and Drakes!
Oh that’s 3 words. Changes will be made before kickoff. Only thing is Tgey won’t be the changes we want to see! Saab for Tuipolotu might be one by the sound of it and Sips for Boyle I think/hope.

 

[TimmyQ]

I think it's time for Sportsbet to weep every weekend rather than me. Time to bet with the head for 24 weeks.

Can’t help it, your mate across the road will.

 

[Shoe1]

Has a team ever not won 1 match in a year? We might be 'trailblazers'

Parramatta

We are one of the worst teams in the comp. Why we would even bother with 'ducks and drakes' in our position - just makes us more laughable to the opposition than we already are.. 'Oh, they might replace THAT reserve grader with THAT one..." Whoooooooooooo scary!

I’ll throw $$ on the first and last try scorer again. Bloody nearly got Chez as last last week with only 4 to go. Then that turd Williams ruined it all! Cost me $260 of the $10 investment. Ps putting a small wager on first and last try is a good way to keep interested in games atm.

 

[Budgie]

What I really don’t get is the media? Why are they not asking the real questions? Why aren’t they hammering Des and the team like they did to the Broncos last year? Surely they all can’t be a bunch of lost little sheep, surely one has to ask a real question to Des..

Reporter- Do you think your position is now untenable after losing another game by 40 plus?
Des- um, ah, um

Not fuking hard.

Nobody hates us and they don't care.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Maybe Des is trying to force Penn’s hand to sack him.

Im sure the Panthers have spent most of the week planning on nullifying the impact of Boyle.

 

[Jacinta Martin]

The reality is, there is nothing that can be done. Not one player would be in the starting side of any of the top 12 teams. Not one.
The ones that appear to look good only look good because the ones that should be shown the door help them look good. Stats don't lie.
We have zero depth, we have assembled a squad of Reserve, Massey, quality. Its not just the cap issues. Historically, players play for the Jersey, pride and a real love of the game, I have a feeling a large portion of our players don't. The pathetic news stories are simply what we expect to hear. None of it is real. No independant questions, just prepared rubbish.
Many say the new rules have ruined the game. I believe its the large salary and the education level of players.
I watched a replay of the Dragons and correct me if I'm wrong but even Shuster for what little he has shown in his appearances already seems to be showing a bit of show pony.
Players are over paid and elevated to cult hero status. An average, uneducated NRL player who works minimal hours at best is grossly overpaid by 3-5 times more when compared to essential workers.
Why was the game so great when players actually worked a full time job and played footy? It was great because a player didn't play for money, they played because they loved the game.

So is saab being dropped? Dont see why des would drop him when he has Parker garrick suli and Gosiewski still in the starting team. If he is dropping him on form start with dce LOL

It’s insane but that’s what he does. Said it in another thread. It’s just ridiculous imo and serves no purpose at all.

 

[Damien2812]

Same team, same flogging result.

Sipley dropped for Morgan will do me. He had a crack and that other clown has produced 4-5/10 games on average since he joined us. Nothing more than a mediocre depth player at any club but the mighty Sea Eagles where he is a first pick 1st grader.

It was laughable last year when Des kept it a secret that Albert Hopoate was going to make his debut against the Storm.I wonder if Bellamy’s plans went out the window when he saw Alberts name on the team sheet?And if a player can’t handle the media attention then how will he go playing in front of a crowd.Des,in their current position,needs to sell hope to fans,a reason to spend their hard earned on turning up to a game or watching on TV.The weekly tripe named on Tuesdays is not inspiring

I admire your resolve, but I don’t think I could stand to lose the game and $$.
