He's just filling in time before his raiders announce the signing of their 6540th English player.

 

[KNUCKLES]

We're hardly contenders just yet. We still need to make the eight

Good reporter and article

Put parramatta away today , and we will be genuine contenders.

 

[Loobs]

The bulk of the comp is only as good as their last game. 5-8 is far from set and if we are in the 8 I imagine that’s where we land.

The article is getting a bit ahead of itself, but there is truth in Manly being that villain that fans need....almost the Darth Vader to opposition fans, yet Luke Skywalker to the Manly faithful....when Manly are dominant, the NRL is thriving....

 

[Cioran]

The aim this year was to avoid our first ever spoon and lay some groundwork for the future. Anywhere in the eight would be fine. One win in the finals would be something worth really celebrating.

 

[Woodsie]

Not yet contenders ....

But .... with a proven quality coach ... with a top 4 level spine .. and a top 4 level forward pack ..... our only question mark was our outside backs ...

Anybody that didn't think we would be around mid field or higher ..... wait for it ..... is a numbnut ....

 

[The Who]

There was a 50-minute period today when I thought we'd be able to beat any team in the comp.
If we can extend that brilliance to an entire match we are as good as those teams with the unlimited salary cap.
