Maybe some marketing value for fans who remember those battles -but I can't see any aspect of fibros in the current Wests (who somehow present more as Tigers than Magpies). Neither do I see much Silvertail in the current Manly (apart from the name of this site of course, so no offence intended there 🙂SeaEagleRock8 link said:[quote author=Ryno link=topic=181195.msg234459#msg234459 date=1249110992]
Fibros V Silvertails. Bring it on. I used to go into the magpies dressing rooms in those days. Loved it. Hope they get Tommy out there aswell to build the game up. It was great stuff.
Tigers for the past few years since winning the comp have played like millionaires, especially Marshall (who probably is a millionaire). Manly on the other hand have built their reputation on a rugged no-nonsense defence and a lot of the playing roster has been made up of no-names & cast-offs.
In 2009 they are the ones with the big name pommy import.Â

Now there is so much riding on this game, I think it is going to be very tough. They are playing for their season whilst we are playing for a top 4 spot plus an almost guaranteed spot in the Top 6.
