This Manly team is 1

[maxta]

Apart from scoring heaps of tries with smiling faces and patting each other on the back after a big shot...something has happened...
Not only are they enjoying their footy- all are inspiring each other on almost every play...
A try is scored in the right corner and EVERY player is there soon after to celebrate and all seem to have pride in those 1% plays that early season were someone else's problem....
It's really enjoyable seeing the great support play's and belief, but the way they are stepping up both individually and to support their mates makes it extra special.

Momentum is a wonderful thing.
in the right conditions it can become unstoppable!

Mate I'm agreeing 100%....the season the Young Tigers became unstoppable is a sample....this also takes me back to the Seaeagles 2007ish with a great blend who ended up 2 premiership's and could've been more !!

Definitely a change in attitude.It’s surprising how often a gritty win,Warriors game,can change the mindset of a club.Someone that is roundly criticised on here,Garrick,is one of the most enthusiastic of players that is always happy to celebrate and encourage the whole team

checking the ladder...
Think we've given away too much to finish in the top 4...
Just wondering...
Can we be first to win from bottom half?
With all the rule changes, anything is possible...
Dare to dream

Couldn't agree more. It's fantastic to watch. The attitude and commitment of players like Harper, Haumole, Sipley, Keppie has really rubbed off on some of our regular first graders who appeared jaded and disinterested in the first four rounds. Everyone is playing for each other, and the attitude adjustment in the team, on the back of success, has resulted in the clear momentum shift we are all seeing right now. (The return of Turbo is obviously a massive part of that) Des has really reacted well to the four early losses, and his selections of late have been outstanding. I am really hoping that our current seventeen stays more or less as is. What we have right now as the seventeen, is capable of taking us deep into the finals. Once there, anything is possible. Go Manly.

Yes I know we need to beat some of the top four teams in the regular season. I think we are demonstrating right now we are capable of that.

Who knows, 15 games remain, where only 3 wins outside after round 10, beat the slime next week (and we definitely can if we turn up and play off the back of last nights game) would put us 2 wins out, 14 games to go, I don’t want to get to ahead of things, but there is a lot to like at the moment, the players are bonding and enjoying their footy and that’s when the magic happens, I’m starting to think something specials brewing, its just a vibe I’m feeling, might just be the joy putting 50 on the Bronx brings, who knows, but if or should I say when we pummel the slime, its definitely game on.

It'll be real interesting if the GF also has 4+ sin binning's due to the head high rule this year.


(spoiler alert - just like s.o.o... there won't be)


Also OP, Manly is one what?

We are only 6 points / 3 wins away from the top four

With our BEST players available we can certainly give the title our BEST shot !

The croaker try when Cust was so happy for him was a great sign of unity.

Tommy really has brought the magic dust. It's all rainbows and unicorns at Manly now.

It's cold and windy and my favourite waitress (serve person) is off sick ... so given my mood, all I can say is ... I too, would be happy after nearly a year of playing like shiite to be finally able to celebrate scoring a try and winning a game !!

Is that favourite waitress of yours a good sort Woodsie ?

This is for all the believers ,,,,,,

All together now !!!

There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn

I never knew that the Unicorn was the official animal of Scotland feathered friend

I thought Rod Stewart was the official animal of Scotland

Take it away Rod !!!

Every rule change seems to magnify the influence that a referee and a Vidiot has over results.
We will continue to see more matches won/lost on debateable decisions. It's inevitable that a Grand Final will be decided by something dodgy, and that the best team will not always win.
Players are being instructed to feign a "crusher" tackle whenever they feel pressure on the neck; going off for HIAs when they have a non-head injury...
What a farce when the Cowboys player was sinned binned when Tedesco fell into his chest. There was no intent from the tackler to come in contact with Teddy's head. Then Teddy runs off, Easts gets a free interchange then they take off a tired player and Teddy runs back on!
Too many rule spoiled rugby union, and it is happening in rugby league.
