So in noticing that this site/message board is as active as a zombie post-apocalyptic pilates class, i'll re-focus my attention to what seems to be the real issues at hand - in the name of being a good/concerned Manly supporter.
Firstly, the easier dilemma; Refraining from attending away matches so as to not contribute financially to a team other than Manly. Actually, no..i'm not going to give this attention and I can't without using the reduction to absurdity argument. Anyone that thinks that with-holding financial contributions from the opponents/home team serves the Manly Sea Eagles better than it does than to actually travel to the ground and support our team by being their and making their presence felt is sadly, a 21st century troglodyte and best-off remaining under their comfortable eagle rock.
The bladder control, blue tongue quandary; in an 80 minute period how many times do you need to relieve yourself? Here's a tip - don't drink so ***king much or wear a bloody diaper (you can in fact get adult sizes)...end of.
I'm sick to death of Manly supporters complaining about the referees, even when we win the penalty count by a land slide. Open both eyes, Cyclops.
At this crucial time of the season, with all the success and amazing talent we've been fortunate enough to experience and the chance to see our team mix it with the best of them, in what, eight consecutive finals appearances?...This is the shyte we're worried about? Man alive! In a decade from now when the Sea Eagles cease to exist...I for one will not be at all surprised. In fact i'm surprised the team still exists today. Sad.
Stevo, you might be right, perhaps that was the most telling thing to come out of that match. It may symbolize the difference between winning and coming close.
