Big game boys, do us proud

 

[Deleted member 26876]

Already counting down

 

[Pittwater Legend]

What a game this will be! This will be the 1st time since 2013 that we have just about all of our key players available for the finals. I’m liking our chances

 

[malroon]

I can guarantee Bellamy will be having more sleepless nights than Des this week..

 

[Remy]

The biggest game for the club since the 2013 Grand Final. Going into the finals series with the season revival we just had and with a full-strength side, this is our biggest chance at a title in a long time. And it all starts on Friday. I am soooooooooo bloody nervous.

Fuksake why SSC stadium. Why not Cbus or Suncorp where we'll get heaps of support.

Maybe that's why. It's nominally a Storm home game.

Stupid ****ing decision , I guess it’s the Storms home game.

 

[cc eagle]

Only team change Aloia in for Sips ?

Suncorp is being re-surfaced so the field is in good condition for the GF and CBUS has 2 days worth of Rugby next weekend

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

A real pity as there’s an army of Queensland supporters up here , but that time on a Friday , at the Sunshine Coast will make it hard for supporters of both sides to make it.

Friday afternoon traffic on the Bruce highway north is horrendous , anyone that has to work has no chance.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Manly $3 outsiders at this stage but that's to be expected. We've won plenty of games as outsiders, in fact I've no doubt Des prefers it that way. In my view this game is 50/50.

 

[ShanghaiEagle]

This is what its all about. Big game against an old rival, both teams in form and close to full strength. I think some of our guys were a bit overawed when we played them a few weeks ago, a few dropped balls. Should have learned from that - complete your sets and just run bloody hard. Go Manly.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Manly's side is now settled but Storm still have some tricky decisions to make. Oddly it will probably be easier for them if Munster is not fit, he hasn't been in great form whereas Hynes has been in great form. Also Hynes has been the goalkicker for most of the year.

What ??? So no finals games at Suncorp till the GF. That can't be serious.

 

[cc eagle]

WHAT, rugby, do we still play that game in Oz ?

 

[Jethro]

Only team change Aloia in for Sips ?

Probably unless Des drops Lawton instead.

 

[40 nil]

Gearing up for the game ...

 

[Shoe1]

Maybe that's why. It's nominally a Storm home game.

Manly is living there right? Easy commute.
