Yes Craig had his moments.

But seriously if that had been Brookvale, you wouldn’t hear the end of it from the commentators, press, et al.

Yep, I was thinking the same thing as soon as Walker went down.

 

[double hoops]

It's a great day to be a Manly Fan. Shed a tear. Drink some wine you good folk. Days like today need to be celebrated. Love You'se all.

Amazing win, i have seen canberra a few times this year and was a bit worried but jeesus what a game.
They played with such heart. One of the best wins.

other than the injuries, Levi’s tendency to play selfish inside the opponents 20 is a major worry. He screwed up two quick play the balls early in the game. He gave away a few penalties too.
I really want to like him and know he made a bunch of tackles but I don’t know if he has the footy smarts to be the hooker to lead us to a premiership.

Great team win. With injuries the semis are a long way away, blood some fringe players.

Agreed, he was fantastic in defence especially given he had to play 80 but there were some head scratchers in attack. Threw a bunch of forward passes that weren't picked up by the ref.

that makes me so proud tonight to be a manly supporter to top off my 30th birthday weekend.

holidaying up in blue mountains, so many people gave me the look wearing my manly gear up on the train.

i dare say no other club would have won today like we did in the circumstances.

i know it is a long way off but if we get any where near full strength would not want to play us week 1 of finals.

will wear my manly gear proud this week.

cant wipe the smile off my face.

 

[Jerry1]

Tis is a Hasler side.
I expect performances like this...

 

[eaglebuzz]

Welp, our backline depth will be tested now...

PHIL GOULD RUGBY LEAGUE GURU QUOTE ....
*MANLYS WIN IS THE MOST COURAGEOUS WIN I HAVE EVER EVER EVER SEEN *

NOTHING SOARS LIKE AN EAGLE IN THE SKY
NOTHING SOARS LIKE AN EAGLE IN THE NRL

I HOPE THE MOST INSPIRATIONAL WIN OF ALL TIME BY THE GREATEST CLUB EVER
HAS TOUCHED YOUR HEARTS TO BECOME PROUD CLUB MEMBERS

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Good tough win
Not many teams would win without 1/2 there spine come off injured with already key players out

 

[madmax]

Young padewan ever heard of Des hasler?

Has Mick ever had anything positive to say about Manly. Talk about pessimistic Lolol.

 

[Leader of the Flock]

Well, the one positive we can take out of playing on that crap surface at Campbelltown, is that we shouldn’t have to play there again as from round 8 teams are allowed to choose their home grounds. We play the tiggers late in the season and it’s our home game, so I can’t see management deciding to play out in the West.

 

[frank stokes]

There are some Manly 'supporters' who should be ashamed by their lack of belief in our side... our team have shown heart in EVERY game this year and deserve more RESPECT than they were/are being given... ESPECIALLY from their own 'fans'... so proud of OUR TEAM... GO MANLY!!!

 

[40 years an eagle]

Croker is a better halve than Walker. His next 3 or 4 weeks at 6 should prove it.

Jetski is not big enough. Waddell back next week hopefully.

Paseka was better this week.

Keppie is a keeper.

Elliot was VERY good and will play FB for the next 6 weeks.


Kapow, Suli and Horhay hopefully back next week.

Hopeful the Ginga Ninja is ok for next week.

6 day turnaround.

Edit: 7 day turnaround.

Had to run up the shops and catch the end on the radio, right at the end Jake yells out "want to tell.us what kind of team we are now?"
Must have been yelling at someone in the raiders

 

[frank stokes]

Faaark me great win boys!
But so many injuries.. tom 6 weeks and i think walker has done syndmosis or whatever

Would you agree that DCE was better than Walkz this game?

 

[BrendonStarr]

We are still a major threat even without Tom.

 

[47MVEagle]

Paseka looked like he's finally firing up - some of his hits in defence were big.

Maybe Canberra are starting to develop the same sort of mindset as Cronulla carry, whenever they come up against the Sea Eagles.
