If they try harder they'll catch us the next bye round. :dodgy::s:huh:

Does anyone know when it was? I thought in 2007 we may have been top of the table when we had a great start to the season. And then beat Melbourne 13-12 when we played them.

 

[Eagles2nv]

Yeah it is nice to see us on top of the ladder.

Although we do better as the underdog.

Would be nice to see us go the minor/major double. Its been a long time since we did it.

 

[winnyason]

We play dogs without grub and hodgkinson as well desmond is going to have a whinge no doubt.

 

[silvertail]

Up where we belong

You can tell, 2V is in season management mode. In itself, that is exciting.

The last time Manly were outright competition leaders in a minor round was Round 25 in 2008 after beating the Titans 28-10 at Brookie (the Scum lost 17-16 to the Knights that round). Even though we won the next and last round 34-16 over Penrith, the Scum won 42-4 over Souffs to grab their second straight minor premiership that was of course later stripped.

2008 had a 3 way tie for the minor premiership, but the points difference saw the Scum originally awarded the title. They had +302, we had +290 and the Sharks had +67 (boy, haven't times been tough for the Sharks since then).

The last time we won the minor premiership and the Grand Final was 1996.

The pre game shots by Fox of the dressingroom showed 2v pacing and swearing non stop
The Players were busy with their preperations and were moving about, but he was laying down the law in no uncertain terms

Can't wait for Friday at Brookie - Cliffy putting Beaver over the tryline and Manly keeping the Rorters scoreless again

 

[Brissie Kid]

Makes next week a 4 point game on the table. Beat the Rorters and we go 4 ahead of them. Lose and we are equal.

Steggles Hayne finally to make his Brookie return this week?

 

[ssar]

I'm REALLY likeing the NRL table right now - Manly 1st, Knights last.
Now for the Broncos & Cheats to drop down to the bottom 6 for ultra-sweetness.

Go Manly!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Be careful though still are sides to get a bye, let's see how we look in three weeks.

Although it certainly is a week to boast, Manly on top, and a Blues win!!

 

[Terry-Randal]

Enjoy top spot while it lasts if we lose to easts on sat we can go as low as 5th. lol

 

[Bandit]

How can that be - The Bunnies, Roosters and Panthers all had their bye?!?!

So did Manly.

There is an extremely entertaining mathematically precise discussion of this in another thread ;0)

Is he going to whinge that we won't have Choc and Sid too ?

Fair dinkum.......the guy gets stupider and stupider every year.

 

[lsz]

[winnyason]
