The Bears & Manly
I was watching The Bears play Cronulla last night in a 99 Classic replay match on Fox, and %$#@ me dead they were a droll, boring team to watch - I just never realised ! Their playing roster was just terrible.
Straight after that game, there was a 99 Classic replay Manly vs. Melbourne game @ Brookie on, and it was MUCH better and enjoyable to watch - and as I wasn't a Manly fan at the time, probably didn't notice, but a couple of things:-
1. How good was Nic Kosef !
2. How good was D Gartner !
3. Who the **** were Hayden and Brown ! LoL
4. Beaver is just a true legend (but I knew that as my time as a Manly fan later)
5. Tooves was a mean little mofo !
6. Owen Cunningham was built low to the ground (know how he feels), but he was a gun !
7. Peter Sharpe made some really, REALLY poor coaching decisions ! Lyons on the bench - with those 1/2's - LoL
8. Oh, and Cliffy Lyons - he definitely DOES live up to his great reputation.
But after watching the two games after each other - made you think. The Manly brand was just a much better, more saleable, more enjoyable to watch product by a long way. ;D
