Sea Eagles V Storm [Round 25 2013] discussion tread

[DSM5]

I cannot believe the NRL would have such a dope as Maxwell control this game. He's just not very good, and has a thing against us. Plus Luke Patten is a Manly hater. Christ, why do we have to not only beat a team but the officials as well. I would like the club to put in an objection to having such crappy officials.

I will be at this game, Would not miss it!!! GO Manly!!!

Again?? Didn't Tooves do that already? 😉

We need to win this game. To beat the storm. To beat the officials. To shove it up the media and the Manly hating public who continue to write us off.
We need a really disciplined performance because I sense that any excuse to bin or send off a Manly boy will be used. On the other hand the storm will be permitted to grapple, hold down, twist and rort their way across our mighty turf.
Defend our territory Manly. Let's beat these untouchables.

Not this time hopefully. Everyone on the hill wont let them get away with it.

 

[Fluffy]

It will be a tough game thats for sure but we have only just missed beating the top 4 teams we played prior so hopefully we can finally get the rub of the green with the refs in which case we will win

Manly 22 v Melbourne 26
Round 15, 2012
Referees: Tony Archer, Jared Maxwell Venue: Brookvale Crowd: 12106 Date: Monday 18-Jun-2012

Seem to recall some dodgy calls last year. But never mind NRL, just give us the same official anyway.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-06-18/stewart-felled-as-storm-drop-sea-eagles/4078162

But it did not take Toovey that long to evaluate his side's sloppy performance, with the referees also copping a serve.

"We can't seem to get to push the boundaries as much as they do and they're good at it," Toovey said of the Storm.

"You can't say too much (about the referees) ... I'm sure they'll say they're sorry about it tomorrow but the match is gone.

I do not like our chances in this game. But I am sure we will give our all and not be far behind them.

We'll have to beat them AND the refs same as usual.

They could not beat us in Melbourne and there is no way they are going to beat us at Brookvale . The Sea eagles will be in full filght on Saturday night !!!

 

[wedgetail eagle]

It's good that the result of this game now has some meaning. Melbourne could get to 2nd or even slip to 4th should they win or lose their next two matches. We could get to 3rd or slip to 5th with two wins or two loses.
I'm hoping we can recreate the atmosphere of 2011 and the famous 'Battle of Brookie' from which Gallop had to shield the eyes of kiddies .. .

They should play for the "Lussick Sheild".
We could bring the big fella back to present it,
& he can tell the kids about the days when the punches flew.
(A lot of injuries in general play, but no one ever got hurt in the fights, haha!)

 

[effnic]

I dont mind Choc having a rest this week, just hope Snake is now fit.

I'm not concerned if Snake is missing as well as Hiku has really stood up well this year every time he has been asked to

Hiku had the best game of his career against the storm earlier this year.

He played pretty good last week, too.

[Mark from Brisbane]

This could well be the MIGOTY

We do need to get a win up over another top 4 side, if for nothing else other than confidence.
